Leather Carp

Leather Carp

EverydayRaw

Leather carp is a freshwater fish distinguished by its nearly scaleless, smooth skin that resembles leather. This wild-caught or farmed variety of common carp contains leaner flesh than scaled carp varieties, offering high-quality protein with moderate omega-3 fatty acids. Its firm, white meat adapts well to baking and pan-frying, though careful bone removal is recommended due to its intricate skeletal structure. Particularly popular in European and Asian cuisines, this fish thrives in slow-moving waters and is often valued for its minimal muddy flavor compared to other carp species.
