Question

why don't people like carp (the fish)?

Answer 1

While tasty when grown in good water, carp can be riddled with small bones in unpredictable locations. Most carp have a fishy taste and are not considered to be good for eating in North America, although they are popular in restaurants in Japan and Taiwan where the fish are also considered to be signs of good fortune. Carp is a traditional Christmas Eve dish in the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland.



Despite having food and angling value that is celebrated in most parts of the world, in North America, Carp are viewed unfavorably. In Australia Carp are despised, and it is even illegal to return the caught Carp to the water.
