    A few years ago, I saw a segment on the 10 PM news concerning a butcher (Alexandria Area, I think) that made & sold Carp sausage. It appeared to look like deer sausage, except it was whiter. Same casings, same texture. just carp sausage. I was always planning on trying it, but have since lost the address. Anyone know what I am talking about?

    And then, this question follows: Has anyone tried making their own? It seems like somebody would have. I am willing to try if I can find a recipe. Some years, finding carp seems easier than finding deer.

    I don’t see it available on their website, but Schafer’s Fish Market in IL http://schaferfish.com/theSite/ makes a Asian Carp sausage that was fed to prison inmates a few years back. They might still be doing it.

    I haven’t tried the sausage, but the smoked silver carp that they make the sausage out of was awesome.

    I did not see it on the news but here a few area shops.

    County Line Meats- Forada
    Minnewaska Meats- Glenwood
    Miltona Meats- Miltona

    I could see County Line doing something like that.

    Osakis meats closed at least a few years ago. Maybe it was them?

    I believe you are talking about my dad, he made sucker sausage and sold it/ took donations plus was on tv talking about it.
    He has his own recipe that he made and he has the only recipe for for it and I will ask about it.
    Have a blessed day.

    I think carp sausage could put you out of business. whistling
