===================

 DS> I've heard that smoking them might actually make them semi-palatable.
 
 ML> Depends. What it doesn't do is eradicate the bones.
 ML> Might soften them up a bit, but the bones are the
 ML> worst issue that one can carp about.

 DD> Having had smoked carp a couple times - it does NOT soften the overly
 DD> plentiful bones. One must eat smoked carp (any carp not cooked long
 DD> enough to A) crisp the bones or B) soften the bones) very carefully.

 DD> It's not all that tasty, either.

I have eaten carp at a restaurant in Budapest, and found it to be
muddy, bony, and quite rejectable.

 DD> Best way I have seen to do carp is at the local walk-up fish stands -
 DD> called "scored carp". Thin fillets of carp are scored nearly through
 DD> crosswise, given a cornmeal coating and deep-fried to the consistency
 DD> of cardboard. This cuts up some of the bones and fries them to a crispy
 DD> crunch. One really needs to eat scored carp with some form of creamy
 DD> sauce (tartar, etc) for the moisture and especially for the flavour.
 
 ML> Speaking of which, when is a carp not a carp:

 DD> When it's a koi ... Bv)=

Koi are quite large, and considered by many East Asians to have a
religious significance.  In the Singapore airport there are attractive
ponds with koi.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Train Smash
 Categories: Condiments, Chilies, Vegetables
      Yield: 5 Servings
 
      2 lg Yellow onions; chopped
      2 lg Tomatoes; seeded, peeled,
           - chopped
           Salt & a lot of pepper
      1 tb Ground dried chilies
           +=3DOR=3D+
      2 tb Chopped fresh chilies
      1 lg Bell pepper; seeded, diced
      1    Rib celery; sliced thin
      4    Scallions; green tops only,
           - sliced thin
 
  Start to fry the onion, tomato, salt and pepper in a slow pan with a
  bit of oil. When about half ready add the chile, bell pepper, celery,
  scallion tops and anything else you think would make a good addition.
  This predates sweet chilli sauce and Tabasco. Spoon liberally over
  whatever you are having for breakfast, preferably some snags and
  toast - eggs too, if you have them handy. From:
