We have an age old recipe for carp in the Soutern US. From my lovely North Carolina wife:

Gut the carp and scale it;

In a baking pan, coat th bottom with a "cow dab" (meadow muffin, road apple, etc)

Stuff the carp with cow dab.

wCoat the carp with coe dab.

Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

Remove from oven.

Scrape cow dab off of carp and scoop from inside.

Throw away carp. Eat cow dab.
