There was a shop in Haymarket (Chinatown) in Sydney that sold heaps of weird Asian food and I loved it. Chocolate coated baby bees, chocolate coated grasshoppers etc. Just fantastic. Mackka
Let us know how it goes

Sometimes fish from a dam will taste muddy anyway. Hopefully they are nice but it might not be a good indication of the flavour of fish from a flowing stream.
Put them in a tub of fresh water for a day or so to enable themselves to purge the mud. Mackka
But the muddy taste is not from mud, but from something they produce during the stress of catching. Into ice water immediately apparently solves it. Must try it some time.
Have a look at the youtube that I posted as #1 here - and please do let us know.

Just discovered this thread. Carp are actually very good. Caught here in the Murrumbidgee you bleed them immediately then fillet and skin, remove the blood line then put through a mincer to take care of the bones then make fish cakes . Absolutely delicious!
I did watch the video that’s what got me keen to try it out thanks for posting it and I will definitely let you know

dunno why we should consider carp as being something to enjoy when it’s very existence in Oz is detrimental to native species, they’re ***** of things, just like a fox in my book

I heard that too. They used to crush the cockroaches up and make them into a kind of soup. Apparently they kept quite a few
hospital cases alive that way.
I have also heard of pioneers in the Australian bush eating tadpoles when they were caught short and why not. In France, frogs
legs are regarded as a delicacy and having tried them I am inclined to agree.
Love frogs legs, yum!
No doubt somebody will be along in a minute to tell us how delicious properly cooked foxes are.
I first had frogs legs at a beach market in Georgetown (Malaysia) and loved them. Next day I saw guys with bags catching them along the stinking open sewers....
I had frogs legs aboard the Sun Princess. The sauce they were were in would kill the taste of anything edible.

Best way to keep the pest carp under control would be for everyone to eat them I’m not saying we will and should but it would definitely help keep the numbers down .my dam is full of them I don’t know how they got there I wish there was a better eating fish in there but unfortunately I’m stuck with the bloody carp so if I can make them taste delicious I will

I lived in Borneo for a while, I'd gotten rid of my driver. Anway, I was heading up through Samarinda one day to go visit a client when I had my new driver pull up at a little wayside cafe so I could pick up a coupla dozen satay sticks, I'd been dropping into this little place for the last year or so whenever up that way.
I was getting out of the car to go grab the satay's when my new driver said, "oh tidak pak, tidak bugoose" (oh no sir, no good). I said, "bohong" (********).
Anyway, I bought a coupla dozen, got back in the car and off we went. I'd nearly finished all the satay's when out of the blue my new driver said;
"you like dog sir?"
I said, "yeah of course I do, they're a mans best friend"
He said, "then why do you eat dog sir"?
