Aischgründer Karpfen

Traditionally prepared during Lent as a meat substitute, the Aischgründer mirror carp is an extremely healthy fish, high in Omega-3 fatty acids and proteins and low in calories. The carp are reared for about three years or until they reach the desired weight (adult fish can weigh up to 30kg) and their meat attains its special flavor.

Every year from September to April, all regional restaurants participating in an Aischgründer Karpfenschmecker festival offer a variety of carp specialties, serving delicious carp breaded in beer batter, braised in wine stock, or prepared as carp sausage.
