i feel bad for this evasive fish so many of them but nobody likes them.i hate carp aswell for no reason at all other than they are ugly and bloody and they kinda smell bad even after they been in the freezer for a week,or a month or in the trash can becouse when it comes to the comman carp the trash can is where it allways ends up.One day i will eat the carp and i will see what all the fuss is about.do they really taste crappy or do they got a bad rap becouse they sure are ugly.i dont know and maybey ill never know.becouse when i catch the common carp with the full intention to eat it, the fish will end up in the freezer and ultimatly in the trash can.poor ugly stinky carp
