Go to Europe and Asian and people love it... But since it has the word carp in its name, us Americans hate it. Their certainly are bones in the fillets which can be a pain, and the flakes of flesh are big and sometimes it's a bit oily depending on where they were caught. It can have an off taste if caught from nasty waters. This is why most carp farmers purge their fish is clean water for a week or two before preparing them for market.
