Is smoked carp the new bacon?

As the global demand for bacon soars, could smoked carp be the new bacon?

In Asia, where carp is a common freshwater fish, smoking carp is already a popular way to prepare the fish. And now, as demand for bacon grows worldwide, some entrepreneurs in the US are starting to experiment with smoked carp as a bacon alternative.

So far, smoked carp has only been available at a few farmers markets in Illinois and Minnesota. But if the taste of smoked carp catches on, it could start to become more popular.

Smoked carp is described as having a "delicate flavor" and a "slightly smoky" taste. It is said to be especially good when served with tartar sauce or barbeque sauce.

One advantage of smoked carp over bacon is that it is much healthier. Carp is high in protein and low in fat. In contrast, bacon is high in saturated fat and cholesterol.

Smoked carp also costs less than bacon. A pound of smoked carp typically sells for between $4 and $6, while a pound of bacon can cost up to $10.

So far, there hasn't been much publicity about smoked carp as a potential alternative to bacon. But with the growing global demand for bacon, it's likely only a matter of time before this tasty fish starts to catch on.

Smoked carp can be cooked in many different ways, but my favorite way is to smoke it over oak wood. I like to use a smoker with a wood box, but you can also use a charcoal grill if you have one. I like to keep the temperature around 200 degrees F when smoking the carp.

The smoke from the oak wood gives the carp a delicious smoky flavor that pairs well with the natural sweetness of the fish. I like to season my smoked carp with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder before smoking it.

I usually let it smoke for about an hour, but you can cook it for longer if you want it to be more tender. You can also wrap the smoked carp in foil and put it in the oven on low heat for about an hour if you don't have a smoker.

Smoked carp makes an excellent appetizer or main course. It is also low in carbohydrates and gluten-free, making it a perfect choice for people who follow a gluten-free diet.
