I chatted with an Eastern European bloke fishing the Ottawa river last year,he told me he had caught a 20+ Lb’er the week before,knocked it on the head and took it home.Supermarkets here cater for their customers,lots of polish and Chinese in an area there’s a market for table carp.

That's some size carp 20lber mate..biggest I've caught was 14lb it didn't look very appetising to me though..but no doubt if you are brought up eating them you would think differently I suppose..

A bit off topic mate..I remember you saying about Nepal or Tibet I think it was and you mentioned the dead being left out for the birds..

I can't remember if you did or didn't go to everest base camp..that's something I would love to do..

Dead are left out for Vultures in Pakistan on the towers of silence, Tibet and Bhutan for sky burials. Yes mate, did the EBC trek.

Carp were brought over as a fast growing and breeding food fish, but it’s crazy seeing it for sale now. Think polish have it on Christmas Day as well rather than turkey
