Does it taste the same as the grass carp of Miri?
ReplyDeleteI do not know for sure because I did not eat grass carp in Miri. Our fish came mostly from the sea: tingiri, duai, kerapu, pasong and of course prawns.
ReplyDeleteDavid, I like this photo showing you and the carp. Aren't carps tame compared to haruan (Swk belaow)? You look a bit tanned here; fishing the whole day I suppose?
ReplyDeleteHasmadi,
ReplyDeleteI caught that fish by hand, not on a hook. It was fun chasing him on the flooded compound of the club. Yes a Koi carp is very tame.
I am tanned because I spend a lot of time in the hot NZ sun! Mon-Fri golfing and on week ends, sailing. I have retired now for 6 yrs.
