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.
@colsoncustoms89945 жыл бұрын
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.

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!

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. Serve over rice.

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.
@Blaydelk9 жыл бұрын
Larry Vickery People are pretty dumb about this. Like you said the bones can be dealt with. Buffalo is one of my favorite fish and my black brother in law introduced me to it. I always talk to all the immigrants I see collecting wild plants and fishing at the lakes, the solution to invasive species is is usually right on their dinner table.

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.

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.

There are 4 different types of carp: 1. Planktonic carp. Eats free floating algae, phytoplankton. For food. 2. Grsss carp. Eats aquatic plants. For food. 3. Trash carp. Eats leftover organic detritus, not wastes. For food. 4. Head carp. Eats leftover organic detritus, not wastes, and free floating algae and aquatic plants. For food and for fish oil to be processed and added to paint to penetrate stubborn rusts until it reaches unrusted metal and stops the rusting process or corrosion process dead in it's tracks. The problems with most Americans is that they are used to instant fast foods, they have forgotten the pleasure of patiently savoring freshly caught and freshly cooked foods like their great-great-great-grandparents used to do in the 1960s and 1950s and 1940s and 1930s going way back to 1900 to 1800.

Hi heres a tip. Prep up some fillets or cubed carp then sear to 1/2 cook then put aside. 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. Serve over rice.

You don't need to debone or fillet it. . learn how to cook the whole fish and use chopsticks to pick the meat off the bones. . . how they eat almost all fish in CHina. This fish is prized in Chinese cuisine.

El Bottoo Yes perhaps true... although I am Japanese and we do enjoy fish a lot with our particular ways. But when it comes to "horrible fish" like various carps, the Chinese do a good job at cooking them. The French, like the Chinese, can cook almost anything. I remember watching a French farmer telling a French Canadian farmer about pigs: "Sir, only the shit we do not eat"!!!! Sure enough brains, guts, tails, everything is eaten by the French and the Chinese!
@johncgibson47209 жыл бұрын
This fish is called "Lotus Fish" in Chinese language, if you actually read the Chinese characters. The chinese characters also have prefix and suffix and roots. For this particular Lotus Fish, if I remember right, the prefix is "fish", and the root is "Lotus". Why call it Lotus Fish, I guess it lived in Lotus ponds. For the true carps, such as pet carps, aka gold fish, or designer carps, aka Koi, the chinese name for them are "Mile Fish". But Lotus Fish is not a carp. Carps eat mud, and Lotus fish eats planktons.

John C G Again you are right, I didn't know the name but this is a matter of marketing and branding. We don't need to market these to most of the different Asian ethnic groups, they already know what these fish are. Less than a century ago most of the European immigrants would have also recognized these as a source of food. It seems like every decade that people spend in the US, they forget 50% of what they knew about surviving hard times. There must be some sort of cultural half life or something, lets hope the popularity of these fish in Asian diets radiates out into popular culture. These fish could be caught in the 100s if special net permits were issued so it were legal to seine them and sell them. The sport fishermen don't like people keeping and eating their precious Bass, so make it easier for people to get at these invasive species. I eat bullheads and most people don't know what they are missing, lemon juice and cold water for a few hours and they cook up just fine and I don't upset the sporties by taking them home.

Chef Phillipe you are correct when you say '" unless you are spoiled" and that is what has happened to society. We want food handed to us with no effort . When I was growing up we had to pull the bones out of any fish we ate, that being crappie , walleye, bass and some of the other topped named fish. My dad would fillet the fish but would up with less. Honestly I would rather fight through the bones and have and better tasting fish. Thank you for a down to earth video.

You took an invasive carp of all things and made it look delicious. I'm impressed with fillet size and white flesh which personally prefer .. Walleye or pickerel same thing really but one of the best tasting fish in my pallet. Unfortunately lake Winnipeg Manitoba Canada one of main suppliers for all Canada is losing its battle to pollution and substantial rises in mercury. Human nature destroy everything and be at constant war with other humans .. We're kinda pathetic.. But at least Asian carp are easily caught no rod required but chance of concussion.

The name "carp" just confuses people. We should call it the chinese name Lotus Fish. Filter feeders like Lotus Fish have very different diet from carps. The first person to call this a carp is not qualified to name it, but the misinformation spreads any way. Please spread the word Lotus Fish to squash the myth.

John C G They are all in the same family cyprinidae but the common carp are not in the same genus. Koi and goldfish are most like the common carp. I have not gotten to eat any of the asian "carp" but I did see one species up close in St Louis they died in a flood a few years ago and you are right they were huge and to me they looked more like a tuna. they are not like the common carp. There are some small ones in the creek by my house and they don't bite being filter feeders. We can't get rid of them but if humans would reach back into their stone age minds they would see these as a bountiful source of cheep food, then I bet we'd put a serious damper on their population just like every other resource on the planet. We have been depleting resources for nearly 100,000 years so we are pretty good at it even with out trying, just imagine what we could do if we did it with full intention.
