This makes sense. We have them in our rivers now. From what the article says if they're prepared right they're really good. My cousin is a net fisherman on the Wabash river and I'll ask him about it.

I'll try it!

So I called my cousin and he said he netted about 200 lb yesterday. They usually kill em and let the anals have they're way with them, but there are some people that want some and he'll give them away.


I asked him if he'd filet me some. So I've got a few pounds saved for me. I think I'll like it. Evidently they're not that hard to work up.

We ate your basic carp a couple times as kids. It was flavorless and most bony. The
bones are what I remember most. Bunches of them, all through the fish. Not like your
basic catfish or striper.

Let us know about the bones. I'd think a carp cannot be filleted (sp?) because of the
bones being everywhere.

Eating it sure seems like a practical solution. Maybe we can eat
enough of it to make it an endangered species.

Are you judging the abilities of others by your own mediocrities?

krause is constantly eating Crow....so ask him about that.

The article claims the the reason Asian Carp isn't popular is because of the name. "Asian carp" is aw nice species. However, if it's known as "Silverfin" that's different.

In a town 40 miles from me a seafood market makes a fried fish sandwich using Silverfin and I've heard it's pretty tasty.

Next week I'll be going through there and try it.
