Another story about that !!! Many moons ago, when I tried to make a living selling tackle, I would do seminars in the store on various things. As part of these, I would smoke three different types of fish, Planter Rainbows, Perch, and Carp. All were prepared the same, brined and smoked and put out in cubes with toothpicks. Three identical plates, no identifying tags. Invariably the order of consumption was: Carp 1st, Perch 2nd, and there were always pieces of trout left. So don't get to persnickity when it comes to putting a carp fillet in the smoker !! There might come a time, again, when we will be grateful to have a lake full of em !!
