Food / Is there any other Polish seafood exept herring and carp? [30]
Live carp are easy to buy in Asian supermarkets in the US, especially on the west coast. Lots of Americans of Chinese descent buy it. The taste is better than tilapia (usually sold next to carp) and I would say better than carp sold in Poland. Different cultures have different taboos on what is edible. Poles are reluctant to eat animals related to insects (like, say, shrimp).
I've never seen carp in American supermarket and most likely never will.
