The problem with Carp is exactly what Lochnar pointed out. it is IMMENSELY Greasy. I have heard several people talk about smoking it, and how it ends up being fantastic to eat at that point. The problem is, Smoking something isn't the type of process that a "chain" restaurant is going to do, and the small "mom and pops" around here, are big on the perch and walleye, leaving only a few places that would offer smoked carp, and then, with that small percentage of restaurants that are locally owned mom and pops, you would have to convince the population to try and eat it.

I've also heard that it's supposed to be really good smoked. The other problem, at least with the type of carp we have up here, is that they are thickly-scaled and full of bones, so it's a pain to clean them.
