About Carp
Carp is a freshwater fish that has been a dietary staple in various cuisines, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Rich in protein and essential nutrients, carp provides omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B12 and D, selenium, phosphorus, and other minerals that support heart health, brain function, and bone development. Its firm texture and mild flavor make it a versatile ingredient for soups, stews, and grilled dishes. While carp is a nutritious option, its health benefits depend on preparation—baking or steaming preserves nutrients, whereas frying can add unnecessary fats and calories. Carp is also known for its ability to absorb flavors, making it popular in traditional recipes. However, some wild carp may contain higher levels of contaminants, so sourcing sustainably farmed varieties is recommended for optimal health and environmental impact.
