- 1 whole live carp (about 5 - 6 pounds)

- 1 cup white wine
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

How to cook German Poached Carp in White Wine:
- Kill carp by striking a blow on the head (do not remove head or tail). Scale and clean.
- Cut in serving-size pieces. Rinse and pat dry.
- Rub salt lightly on each piece. Place in saucepan. Add wine, water, onion, mushrooms, pepper, and parsley.
- Bring to a boil. Cover and poach gently over low heat until the fish is done (when the eyes pop out), about 20 minutes. Remove the fish from saucepan and place onto a warmed platter.
- Cook pan juices rapidly to reduce them. Pour over fish.
- Mix horseradish with sour cream and serve with the poached carp.
