<1>Posted: 8 months ago by restlesschicken: i've seen another video article about this. it better addresses the question of "so why don't we catch and eat asian carp?"
the answer was, that the fish were too bony to efficiently prep for food products. pity, being they're so feaking easy to catch.
though, my questions still hasn't been answered .. would they bee good to use in organic fertilizers? or for fish oil supplements and the like? Score: [-] 37 [+]. Posted: 8 months ago by doggylives:

My thoughts exactly.
They are fine to eat
Taken from an interview with a fisherman who catches them;
"The fish weigh at least 15-to-25 pounds each, and some are much larger. They fetch about 14 cents a pound. That's not a lot, but Briney says the huge volume of carp he catches more than makes up for the low price-per-pound. Since he started fishing for carp, Briney says he's doubled his income."
"Some people say that smoked, it's better than salmon, but the name "carp" is likely putting non-ethnic Americans off trying the fish."
THIS article comes up with a brilliant win-win solution to the problem, feed them to zoo animals.
"The ground carp still has all the nutrition of the whole fish, but by restructuring, you have better control of the nutritional content." Score: [-] 27 [+]. Posted: 8 months ago by Moogle: I apologize in advance, but that wasn't punny. Score: [-] 9 [+]. Posted: 8 months ago by doggylives:

looks like you could have some fun with a helmet and a baseball bat! i am sure it would be messy though. Score: [-] 20 [+]. Posted: 8 months ago by doggylives:
