* [[Bighead carp]] is enjoyed in many parts of the world, but it has not become a popular foodfish in North America. Acceptance there has been hindered in part by the name "carp", and its association with the common carp which is not a generally favored foodfish in North America. The flesh of the bighead carp is white and firm, different from that of the common carp, which is darker and richer. Bighead carp flesh shares one similarity with common carp flesh – both have intramuscular bones within the filet. However, bighead carp captured from the wild in the United States tend to be much larger than common carp, so the intramuscular bones are also larger and thus less problematic.
* [[Common carp]], breaded and fried, is part of traditional Christmas Eve dinner in [[Slovakia]], [[Poland]], eastern part of [[Croatia]] and in the [[Czech Republic]]. In pond based water agriculture it is treated as most prominent food fish. Some recipes are specifically for carp such as the "[[sweet-and-sour]] carp" ({{zh|s=糖醋鯉魚|p=Tángcù Lǐyú}}) and "thick [[miso soup]] with carp" ({{langx|ja|鯉こく|Koikoku}}).
* [[Crucian carp]] is considered{{by whom|date=June 2019}} the best-tasting pan fish in Poland. It is known as {{lang|pl|karaś}}, and is served traditionally with sour cream ({{lang|pl|karasie w śmietanie}}).<ref>{{Harvnb|Strybel|Strybel|2005}}, p. 384</ref> In Russia, this particular species is called {{lang|ru|Золотой карась}}, meaning "golden crucian", and is one of the fish used in a [[borscht]] recipe called {{transliteration|ru|borshch s karasej}}<ref>{{Harvnb| Molokhovet︠s︡|1998}}</ref> ({{lang|ru|Борщ с карасе́й}}) or {{transliteration|ru|borshch s karasyami}} {{lang|ru|Борщ с карася́ми}}).
