What kind of fish is this?

[BRNO17]

And more importantly what does it taste like?

Looks like carp.

Looks like carp.

I dont think its carp, more likely bass but im not sure.

That is a carp. That is most definately not a bass.

Some folks eat them, after leaving them in an old bathtub for a week with fresh water running through it, or so I've read.

 

[KodiakHntr]

Incidentally, predatory fish (bass) have mouths that are in front of their heads, so they can see and bite something.

Bottom feeders, (carp, suckers, sturgeon) have mouths on the bottoms of their heads, so they can suck mung up out of the mud.....

Was it caught near a Necular Facility?

 

[BRNO17]

I have caught carp before and they didnt look like this. Is there different types of carp?

 

[5440fight]

I think they taste like where they hang out; muddy.

Are you planning on eating it?

Looks like a carp mutant. Feed it to the cat and watch it glow.

Looks like carp (young) but never seen that kind of head on a carp.
Caught in Southern Ontario: I would never eat it.
Two other observations:
Your camera sucks!
You definitely mastered contre-jour lighting!

My advice: DO NOT EAT that fish.

lol Im going to throw it out now, good thing I posted this up before they defrosted lol.

I live in russia so theres no need to notify the MNR

It's a Large Fathead minnow or some similar species, Most people here have clearly never actually seen a carp before, completely different fish.

Those pictures aren't exactly 'picture perfect' so I don't recognize the exact species, but its a coarse fish (carp, sucker, etc) based on the scales. They are all edible with white flesh, but the typical north american palate doesn't regard them highly. What does the mouth look like?
The 'bumps' on its nose are a big WTF.

Anyways I still have a 60cm rainbow I caught last weekend to put on the grill!

Oh, you posting from Russia? You can eat that thing, just wash it down with vodka. You guys are tough.

Your iphone is fine! Hand is not steady (don't want to know details), lighting is crap!
