Carp

Carp is a popular freshwater fish in many cuisines and is often used in traditional holiday dishes.

Choose fresh carp with clear eyes and clean gills. The flesh should be firm and have a mild smell.

Store fresh carp in the refrigerator and use within one to two days. For longer storage, freeze it in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months. Cooked carp can be refrigerated for up to three days.
