carp

carp are good to eat. you have to catch them out of clean water.you buy in the store all the time  taipa if i said it right. i catch them out of blad eagle there great salyer dam up in centre county or keystone lake try them there great. no river carp if you have a big pool to keep them in for a week and feed them corn get the mud out. them are good eating ;try it you won't go bad on this you see get them out of the lake like the jappes do and chinesses do  the american people don't know what's gooddream on

Ive always heard you cook the carp on a hickory board. Season it with salt and pepper. Throw the carp away and eat the board.
 

Dry the scales out and salt them................They taste like tater chips...........Trust me

I perfer apple....

i really hope you werent serious about tilapia being carp in a store, tilapia is like a big panfish they stock them in some florida lakes though i dont think theyre native to this country. i hope you were kidding.  i have considered keeping a small one to smoke but havent done it yet... dont know which end to light....

the recipe I've heard is:
1. Fillet
2. Put in over at 500 degree's on a board
3. cook for 10-20 hours
4. Then throw the carp away and eat the board

Very similar to what you heard
