Are Carp good to eat?
I just heard on the local news tonight that someone caught a 23 pound Grass Carp in Lake Erie.
I guess the reason it made the news is because there has been concern about invasive species in the Great Lakes.
So, since we’ve managed to deplete the waters of many other species of fish over the years, could a chain of fish restaurants make a feast out of carp and help solve the invasive fish problem.
If it’s not that good to eat, I’m just curious about why? Every year people go nuts for Shad which is so full of tiny bones everywhere that it’s just a frustrating mess. I never could understand that (except that the roe is reputed to be tasty). But people also eat the fish itself. Still can’t figure out why.
So, what’s the story on carp?
