i might have to try the carp sometime, always wondered what it taste like. peoplle say bass taste like mud and it never has to me. so i can imagine carp isnt as bad as most people say.
i have smoked crappie perch and bluegill. the bluegill was my favorite. 1/2 cup salt 1 cup sugar (white and brown) think its a quart of water. i always fillet mine no skin, and just put them on the racks for a few hours. (little chief smoker) i smoke most of my fish now. better than grease, even though i love fish in the frying pan.
