My mom was raised in extreme poverty. They raised or hunted for their food. They would catch carp by throwing wash tubs over them when they spawned in shallow water. They would "can" (preserve in mason jars) the meat and cook it so long that the bones would become soft or even dissolve.
When I was growing up my mom would make "salmon patties" using canned mackerel. She said that was the way they would eat carp. By the time you add bread and spices I am sure it did not taste much different.
