Carp

You can put lipstick on a pig...but it's still a pig.

Not always first on anyone's list of best tasting fish, but hat's off to Nick Sullivan for putting it on the menu at the Oakroom.

Not sure how it gets the $43 price tag, but I'll keep an open mind . . .

Maybe carp just needs a PR makeover like the Patagonian Toothfish received when it became Chilean Sea Bass.

Suggestions?

The fish has been called "Kentucky Tuna" for years (although to label it as such is illegal). I seem to recall the name (originally) came from a marketing/aquaculture project at the University of Kentucky.

Hmmm ....is now a good time to talk about the love of bacon and bbq ribs?

Possible solution:
Asian carp + Bacon = Good Eats!

My source is Kelly and Kris Seafood and I talk to Sean Bachan his number is 386-315-2065.

old recipe for carp. You filet it, lather it with butter sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper and put in on a board and bake it in the over at 350 for a half hour. Then throw away the carp and eat the board.

I've been resisting the temptation for days to post that old carp joke. Glad you did.
