Carp is a popular food, but many people are hesitant to eat it due to its numerous bones. Follow these steps to debone a carp thoroughly and safely, ensuring you can enjoy this delicious fish without any worries.
How to Debone a Wild Carp
Step 1: Start with a live carp, rinse it thoroughly, and clamp it onto a grill rack. Grill the fish over hot coals until it’s cooked and golden. This method eliminates the need for scaling and makes bone removal easier, resulting in tastier, more fragrant meat.

Step 2: Using a sharp knife, scrape away the skin and scales to expose the delicious, aromatic, and well-cooked meat. Although carp don’t have pin bones, the fin bones are quite small, and there’s a row of bones running along the center, next to the spine (as indicated by the red line) and the belly bones.
Step 3: Split the fish down the middle and remove the spine. There’s a small groove along the spine; carefully extract all the bones from this groove, being cautious not to leave any behind.
Once the bones are removed, you can separate the meat into bite-sized pieces.
With this deboned wild carp meat and a few everyday spices, you can cook a delicious and cooling carp soup or combine it with dill and celery to create a mouthwatering and simple carp and vegetable dish for the whole family to enjoy.
