Sundgau Sud Alsace, Routes de la Carpe Frite


What is fried carp ?

Fried carp is THE typical culinary specialty of Sundgau, a small region in southern Alsace.
It is not a carp and chips - unless you want that ! - the carp is fried. You can choose fillets or steaks, with or without bones, and savour it after the chef has fried it in corn meal, poppyseed or sesame, depending on his particular recipe.
