They can get pretty big around here, a couple years ago I wnet carping a few days before Rosh Hashana, ended up bringing back a bunch for some poor people in my area, the Rav of my dad's shul needed a head, needless to say he was happy to find one at the last minute.<BR/><BR/>My grandparents used to pick up live carp for kapparot, put them in the bathtub for a day, then bash the head on Erev Yom kippur and make carp stew. Boy did that stuff smell!Freshwater Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214539605710658200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638057204126621755.post-65655614442380883842008-09-28T10:52:00.000-07:002008-09-28T10:52:00.000-07:00It's a red snapper head this year.

Not terribly impressive, but we were making sushi last week, and I like red snapper sushi.<BR/><BR/>When I was younger, my grandmother would bring a carp head. I'm not sure if it was actually as big as I remember, but I'm pretty sure the wobbly bits of fish jelly around it were as . . . unappealing as I remember.<BR/><BR/>It's a little odd that I like fish as much as I do, given that youthful exposure.Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291618747552170257noreply@blogger.com
