eww...
So are they going to replace Michigan’s $10 billion sportfishing industry?
the moral of the story is....
Soon this will be all that we can afford to eat, for those of us not on Food Stamps.
Cajuns will eat anything.
....or so the stereotype goes....
Most carp I’ve eaten taste like mud.
They can’t be caught hook and line (plankton eaters). Only netted or, if you’re feeling adventurous, try bow fishing and sticking them when they try to jump in your lap.
Add enough red pepper and garlic and it will taste great..........
I’m not sure how well Illinoisans would cotton to Louisiana style carp. Blackened seasoning and such isn’t hugely popular in, say, Chicago.
From what I’ve seen, the carp will destroy the sport fishing industry in the Great Lakes if they get there in any numbers. And apparently they multiply like rabbits.
I hear they are served in some restaurants under the phony name “silver fin” - but actually I’ve heard they taste pretty good. Considering farm raised talapia is fed by the poop of farm raised striped bass - I guess anything can make it to the table....

Carp... maybe. No one says good things about the snakehead.
These carp aren’t bottom feeders and taste fine.
BUT fishing for them will not prevent them from getting into the great lakes. The fed needs to fill in the canal. But Bongo will listen to Chicago of course, and there goes the fishing industry on the great lakes.
Recycling, man, recycling. Anyone with a cat with an indoor litter box, and a dog, knows about this. To the dog, it's Tootsie Rolls.
More waste of tax dollars
they come in a yellow box that says “Gorton’s” on it
That was just totally unnecessary. Funny, relevant, but totally unnecessary...
These fish are not natural the the US and are very destructive. They should just catch and kill them. I know someone who wanted one for his pond because it had a green growth problem. The state gov’t told him he would have to sign his life away to get one and it would totally kill whatever else that was in there. He passed.
