Potholes and Seep Lakes Carp

Question... what do ya do with 'em?  Are carp edible?  Or, do they get relegated to fertilizer status?  

I've seen big carp in a local lake here in Seattle... when I was growing up, I thought they were just BIG goldfish that people had tossed into the lake as they were moving... later... learned they were carp.  

Are they a good game fish, or a garbage fish in need of culling?  

Old Dog:
Most carp are labled as a deleterious species, and are not managed as a game or food fish.  The grass carp is the one exception.  No licence required, and no bag limit.

the common carp is classed as a food fish, i know this because i have to have a commerical food fish license, threw the fish and wildlife to guide for them. yes they are edible but not for me.

Thanks for what I suspected to be the case.  Sounds like pot-fodder for the back burner of an Asian kitchen... I don't think I'd care for layin' a lip on one.
