Dotey Failed to mention - this carp is Smoked from Walmart. At least that is what he just told me- I'll try it though too.
the package says wild smoked carp they would taste the same with the ones we shoot if when we cut them up you have to cut the mud vein out thats were you get that nasty taste so maybe we get a few little ones and cook them up some time scotts got the smoker
The mudvein is important. Also they probably have different ways of preparing it, slightly different kind of fish possibly, and the water quality/quality of food they eat is different. The rivers in Europe are clean and clear enough that you can spear in them. I don't know of any such place around here, you certainly wouldn't catch me trying to stone carp in the Wisconsin! Oh well to each their own.
I tried it- It was ok- I'd rather not have that taste in my mouth again. I think I'd rather eat glue (Ah......the Good Ol' Days)
Lol poor dotey. That was a hit below the belt. At any rate, yea carp live for a long time, are hardy, live in polluted waters, and eat of the bottom where these pollutants tend to accumulate. Otherwise they eat small bottom dwelling crustaceans that filter feed, hence gathering all the pollutants in them, and then giving them onto the carp. Idk whats worse though, carp or muskie. I dont eat muskie ever though.
I woudn't say that European rivers are clean - maybe up in the Norway and so, but for sure not here in Central Europe. And - carp is not a river fish anyway. And visibily in the fish ponds where the carps are farmed is about 1 or 2 ft. I wouldn't even try to spear there. 
Anyway - here is the advise for making taste of the carp better. Here in Czech we also eat carps, so we know one or two things about cooking them.
So - cut carp into portions and place them in the milk overnight and then take it out and prepare as you like it next day. The milk will draw bad smell and taste out of meat and it will be better.
Bon apetite.
