Re: [VFB] Carp - recipe

[Dr. Doug Miller]

I can't help but wonder. . .with all the other GOOD foods available, why bother with carp?   BTW, how do you get your bath tub clean after this procedure?   I can just see it now:  "Honey, can I use the bath tub for a while, say about a week.  There is this new recipe I am dying to try!   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 6:08 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Carp - recipe The trick to carp is to let them swim around in your bathtub for a week, feeding them corn meal. That clears out the mud flavor. The recipe I use is complicated. It's an old russian recipe that consists of grinding the fillets with about 1/3 the weight white fish, mix in a few eggs some grated onion, and matzoh meal or cracker meal to form fist sized pieces. put them in a large baking pan with about 1/2" water, cover with foil, and cook @ 350 about 1 hr. I usually add a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or adobo powder into the mixture. Serve it with horse radish. When the cooking liquid cools in the fridge, it becomes a tasty aspic, and you can eat that too. Jewish folk call it gefilte fish.
