CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to tell whether carp is wild or farmed? !

Wild carp will have scars from fishing, and are smaller in size, with delicious meat and rarely any fishy smell.

The scales of artificially farmed carp are relatively intact and neat, and the whole body is relatively black. Basically, those sold in the market are farmed.

Basically, the farmed ones look much more majestic than the wild ones.

My grandfather was a former fisherman in Taihu Lake. Every year when he went back, he could eat wild carp. The country has banned fishing for a while. I don't like fish, but wild carp really has no fishy smell, so I can eat it.
