Calling all Gourmets

[Gigmaster]

I absolutely love smoked carp. I bought a large Brinkman smoker just to use for carp (and other fish). I don't soak mine in brine, but the waters I fish in are incredibly clean. It makes brining unnecessary.

Carp are very good smoked! Their fat content keeps them tender and moist. If you know someone who has a smoker you might try bribing them, say keep half for yourself. Suckers are also good smoked. Yes, you do have to brine them overnight.
