As a side note my family had a cottage at Longpoint and in the spring the locals smoked carp . My dad attended one of these affairs ( generous libations ) was sicker than a dog that night and next day , blamed it on the carp ?? (Next legend ) talked about pickled chub , I new people back in the sixties that speared suckers ,and pike in the spring and pickled them , no more bones . When I was a kid we fished for suckers in the spring in Otter creek . Fried them up a couple of times , very boney , soft white meat but no off taste . Of course everything back then over a campfire was 5 star !
