About Fish, carp, raw

Carp is a large freshwater fish that is one of the most farmed fish on the planet, central to the cooking of Central and Eastern Europe and much of Asia. Its flesh is firm and slightly sweet, though it is famously bony, which is why it is often scored, slow-cooked or ground into dishes such as gefilte fish.

Raw carp provides about 127 calories per 100 grams, with close to 18 grams of protein and a moderate 6 grams of fat that includes some omega-3s. It is a good source of vitamin B12, phosphorus and several other minerals. Because carp can be raised cheaply in ponds, it remains an important affordable source of animal protein in many regions.

Carp's reputation depends heavily on where it is grown and how it is handled — clean, well-managed fish has a pleasant flavor, while muddy specimens benefit from soaking. It is traditionally baked whole, fried, braised in a sweet-and-sour sauce, or — in many Central European homes — served as the centerpiece of the Christmas table.
