Title: Re: [NAFEX] Suckers andf groundhogs

One of the traditional uses for carp in Europe is gefiltefish (fish balls) in which the meat is separated from the bones in the making.  The Europeans devised such ways of using carp because of the boniness.

> I never saw a groundhog before. They are not in South LA. as  far as I know. Guess they don't like the low land here. That's the only reason I never roasted one before ...ha ha. But nutrias are mighty fine.
> As far as suckers (carp?) go, I have eaten them and they are really full of bones. We had a fish fry one time and had a bunch of those included, but no one really went for them too much. Too many bones. They tasted pretty good tho...lots of catsup!!!ha
