Only common carp in B.C. at least last I heard

I have caught the and shot them. I have only eaten 1 and it was meh but it’s not like I was experienced cooking them. When I was a teenager my buddy was knew an Asian family that would buy them from us. It was a good way to get beer money but of course we never drank underage lol

When living in southern B.C. I knew lots of Europeans and Asians that would eat them so they must be decent if you know how to cook them. They thought it was crazy that in Canada they were declared trash fish and all most no one targeted them

Caught and shot some that broke 30lbs but most were 5-15lbs
