OK, the idea may seem a bit redneck (NO OFFENSE MEANT TO THE REDNECKS OUT THERE) but on my last dive I saw quite a few carp, they are pretty large bodied and they fight like heck when stuck. I was thinking about spearing for them. Also these fish tend to skirt around at the edge of the visibility. I think it would be fun to use these as local freshwater quarry when the ocean is just too far away. Now comes the problem, what to do with them afterwards. I guess they make good fertilizer if buried, but my gosh, there has to be something more productive. Lets hear all the thoughts, techniques and *gulp* even recipes.

Carp recipes are common. My uncle reminded me how to cook roasted planked carp. Scale and gut a carp. Nail it to a plank. Roast over an open fire until the meat flakes. Throw away the carp and eat the plank. Onions and bell pepper may be added. There is also a recipe for baked carp. Scale and gut the carp and split into two halves. Place a brick between the two halves, cover with bell pepper, onion and salt and wrap in tin foil Bake in an oven for three hours. Unwrap carefully, throw away the carp and eat the brick. It will be better than the carp. Also works with a shingle or, if camping, a river rock.
