I'm assuming that the fish will either be frozen or fresh out of the ice chest. Either way, it still needs to be at room temp.

Ask our European members for carp recipes. That's a very highly rated fish in Germany and places like that and they know much more about cooking it than we do. I cooked some once in a recipe that used vinegar and thought it was good. The problem is finding carp in clean water.

As for the "hungry smilie", I like the idea! Let's take it to Papa Smurf.
