#InvasiveCarp are Delicious. Here's Why You Should be Eating Them

Posted July 11, 2022

Excerpts: "And that brings us to the meat of the subject. We should be eating these fish. Unlike their sometimes muddy tasting cousins, the meat from silver and bighead carp is firm, white, mild, and flaky. It is often compared to cod in texture. I have grilled, fried, broiled, and steamed both bigheads and silvers and the results are always surprisingly good."

[...]

"Despite their excellent flavor, #BigheadCarp and #SilverCarp do have a big drawback as food. They are a bony fish. Besides the standard spine and rib bone structure found in most freshwater fish, they have an additional set of two rows of unattached Y-shaped bones that run the length of the fish on each side. That means they can't be processed into the large boneless fillets most American consumers tend to prefer."
