I give them to people from Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and Central America who know how to make them taste good. Smoked carp is delicious.

Those carp are huge, well done!

In my opinion they taste good when fried, but only if they are young carp around 1lb in size (usually 16" or so.) Then they have a decent sweet white meat flavor. When they get old like that, they taste horrible haha.

Too bad most of NJ carp habitats are heavily polluted rivers anyway.

I'd love to find a spot to catch young carp like that.

Round Valley, Spruce Run and especially the Delaware River have carp. I wouldn't worry about eating those fish. But carp tolerate pollution really well and there are so many places where I wouldn't even think about eating one.
