    I grew up hearing that all carp and a number of other fish species were “trash fish.” After eating these “trash fish” for the first time as an adult, I learned 2 important things. First, most fish are highly edible in some form or another. Secondly, a huge factor that plays a role in its edibility is the preparation of the fish. Carp really are a delicious fish.

      water is a factor with stuff like catfish as well, so is the size of the fish. A big ol cat from a muddy creek or stagnant pond won't be as good as a 3 lb cat from a big clean lake or fast flowing river.

      Asian carp have been bred specifically as a farm-able fish for human consumption. That's how they got into American rivers in the first place. I'm not sure I would call them delicious but they are certainly more than edible.

    In Malaysia, a particular variety of carp, Hoven's carp, is known as Sultan Fish by the locals. The rulers of the land long ago were Sultans and they sure knew how to appreciate this fish! This particular fish is prized for the incredibly soft and delicate meat texture as well as the sweet flavour profile. I myself have tasted this fish and can say for certain that it cannot compare to any river fish out there. It does not have the usual muddy smell and taste of a freshwater fish.
    Here in South East Asia, this fish would be steamed to preserve the amazingly delicate flavour and texture of the meat. Then served with finely sliced pieces of ginger, shallots, red chilli, rock sugar, and Kikoman soy sauce, as is normally the case for how we like to serve steamed fish.
    And yes, this fish would cost a lot of money in a restaurant in this part of the world. Around USD 100 if you were to order this in a restaurant!

      In a saucepan gently 1/2 fry crushed ginger and garlic then put aside.
      Dump into sauce pan 2 or 3 tins of chopped tomatos with a few chopped fresh tomatos then stew to reduce a little. Add a little brown sugar to reduce. When tomato is stewed well cooked then throw in the ginger and garlic to cook off then the fish.
      Add salt to taste. All elements unmeasured.

    Excellent video!
    I have a special affinity for this subject, as my father was a fresh water commercial fisherman, and we ate German Carp, quite similar to this invasive Asian Carp, and found that the popular notion among the white population that it is a junk fish, is entirely wrong. He found a ready market for Carp, as well as the similar Buffalo fish, among African Americans, who knew better!
    He also knew how to prevent the problem of tiny bones. I see that your filleting technique is similar, as you made your cut down each side of the dorsal fin, and did not disturb the fleshy side meat with the knife. That prevents a shattering of the tiny bones that otherwise make the carp an unpleasant experience to eat.
    If the filet is too large for the skillet, you can simply grab each end of the filet with your hands, and with a wringing motion, separate it into smaller pieces, thus avoiding the use of a knife to cut apart the filet.
    By not disturbing the bones in this side meat until it is cooked and ready to be served, they are easily pulled from the flesh as you eat.

    • @Blaydelk
      @Blaydelk Před 9 lety +20

      Larry Vickery in Asia, cooking carp fish has become an art. they know carp is bony so few chefs will try to fillet it raw. the most popular way is steaming the whole fish after gutting and cleaning, the head can be set aside for the renown popular fish head soup. of course with necessary ingredients such as pepper, star anise, fresh ginger, garlic, soy sauce, cooking wine etc. when thus cooked, the bones can be so easily removed. after eating, very little is wasted and the meat is so tender. you can look up fish steaming and fish head soup recipes online, or check a Chinese cookbook. this fish is much better than catfish, tilapia and many other types. however, not all carp species are tasty, but Asian carps are definitely a great food fish. There is this ancient adage: "those who do not know how to cook well always blame the ingredients."

    Fish bones are no problem to Asians, but a major problem for most North Americans. A simple way to debone them after cooking is to use a PLASTIC KNIFE to cut the cooked fillet into 1 inch wide pieces, the bones would stick out from the ends of the pieces and can be easily picked off.

      Another way it is done in Asia, is slow cooking for hours until the bones dissolve into the meat and are consumed. Poor people in Asia have long placed fish on rocks, let the intense sun cook them that way, "rake them" and add whatever amendments they want, then serve. More than one way to cook and eat fish.

    For the bones, first,you have to cook the fish good enough for people to ignore the bones.Such as using fresh chillies, spring onion and gingers, stir fried them to cover up the fish smells and highlight the freshness. Second, poeple better use chopsticks to pick up bones..The carp can become delicous dishes when it is cooked by the right method. However, i also wish to try the carp the chef made in this video. I thought is was cooked in a western way, which is really new to me. At last, the best part of carp is the belly, where there is not bones at all..it's like best chicken breast and tenderst beef filllet.

    They Practically decimated "Patagonia tooth fish" By calling it "Chilean sea bass". They Practically decimated "Slime Head" By calling it "Orange roughy". They practically decimated "Red Fish" By Paul prudhomme coming up with a delicious way to eat them yum "blackened red fish". Something needs to be done!

    I was surprised by the flesh being so white when filleted I am sure if picky you could even cut more of the red meat off and have a pure white piece of meat... We are spoiled and when I serve fish that I've caught I have to make it absolutely boneless or I am told "I found a bone" lol but when I eat fish myself I usually cook it whole and tease all the bones out I think it adds flavor cooking with the bones in !!

More awareness can be spread about these viable food sources and they can even be hunt for sport once people start tasting it!!! If You Can't Beat 'Em, Eat 'Em!!! :D

    Same thing happened to a fish discovered that tribes were eating in Chile. They call it "Toothfish". Ugliest damn fish you ever saw but produced a beautiful white filet and was delicious whether pan cooked, baked or grilled. The fish would not sell in the market when called Patagonia "Toothfish". Then someone rebranded the name "Chilean Sea Bass" and the new "star" was born. Today during lunch and dinner all over the finest restaurants and cafes in Manhattan, NY and Los Angeles, California the fish is served with fresh vegetables as one of the most healthy items on the menu. Daily it's ordered as one of the most popular items on the menu.

    What I’m finding difficult to get my head round is the fact American conservationist are looking at these Asian Carp as an invasive species. I can to a degree ,agree that they are fast breeding & lay a lot more roe than native species. However like most fish they actually taste rather nice & are a very healthy & nourishing source of food. How many starving nations would love to have a fish where you don’t need a net , all you need is enough vibration to stimulate a fish to jump into your boat. Come on guys “Adapt and Overcome!”

      Tinger23 in Asia, cooking carp fish has become an art. they know carp is bony so few chefs will try to fillet it raw. the most popular way is steaming the whole fish after gutting and cleaning, the head can be set aside for the renown popular fish head soup. of course necessary ingredients such as pepper, star anise, fresh ginger, garlic, soy sauce, cooking wine etc. when thus cooked, the bones can be so easily removed. after eating, very little is wasted and the meat is so tender. you can look up fish steaming and fish head soup recipes online, or check a Chinese cookbook. this fish is much better than catfish, tilapia and many other types. however, not all carp species are tasty, but Asian carps are definitely a great food fish. There is this ancient adage: "those who do not know how to cook well always blame the ingredients."
