io6 MARVELS OF FISH LIFE 



carp are herded like a flock of sheep, and are moved 

 into the next pond as soon as the food supply in the 

 first is finished. Enormous quantities are both eaten 

 and sent away. The orthodox method of preparing 

 this fish for the table is to have it cooked in beer. 



I tried carp cooked in this way, and came to 

 the conclusion that the beer could not have been very 

 good.
