106 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.
