Yeah USA has tons of Homeless & Economically backward people. (the flip side of capitalism coin) Carp is a delicious fish if you know how to prepare (if not you're just a bad cook) & can feed those who are below a margin of comfortable sustainance
A Chinese fish processing plant opened I believe in Kentucky and buys them from the fishermen. The process them then ship them back to China to sell. With all the fish being caught and sold it's been a win win for everyone.
That's a great solution. They love this fish there, and it's really tasty. It's also popular in Eastern European countries, but they prefer to buy it fresh
Yeah win win.. except for the environment of course and whatever used to live in those lakes. The utterly irresponsibility of releasing such a destructive feral animal is appalling.
I know a guy who used to catch em for catfood, but even he tanked them for a few months on a corn diet before turning them into said catfood. Really cheap though, once you get it going and the cats loved, it raw or cooked. His dogs ate it to. For those wandering carp are bad for the local fish population for a lot of reasons but the mainly its because they wipe out aquatic vegetation.

@@LanceWeakley No, they aren't. Common Carp are from Eastern Europe. You're literally on the internet. There's no reason beyond extreme laziness for you to not know that.

Carp are way different from Bison. Carp are generalists, meaning they can eat anything, live anywhere, and reproduce a lot. Bison are not generalists, they're large grazing herbivores that don't have many babies.
Those carp are no joke when your boating, my boys mom got hit by one when they were going along at a decent speed and it straight up knocked her out, at first it was kinda funny until she didn’t get up and started shaking into a seizure. Shes fine now but shits no joke everyone stay safe and alert out there please.
asian carp is actually kinda delicious if you know how to properly cook them.fun fact,in their natural habitat,their max size is way smaller then those living in America
What if people hate eating these fish? Unlike your usual fish, the asian carp have a zillion tiny bones distributed all over that detach so no simple pulling of the spine to remove most of the bones. They also tasted "dirty", so their flavor is unpopular in the USA.
@@kenxiong6830 what does "third world countries " mean to you lot because it's seems like you genuinely think that anyone who's not from America or Europe is starving and living in a slum.
@@zm_headhunter not sure where you’ve been but there are a lot of countries where there is a large portion of the population living waaaaay below the poverty line. Most of Africa, parts of Asia, some South Americans nations. You don’t need to be an expert to figure out which countries can benefit from free food. If you need help just check the UN foreign food aid list
Bighead is a different species than silver. Asian Carp is an umbrella term consisting of several species. Grass, Silver, Black and Bighead Carp are all "asian" carp.
At least they taste good smoked! If you can clean them with their y bones they taste better than common carp. They also can be baked and ground up bones and all into a paste that makes great cat and dog food. Can save you some money in that regards but you don't wanna overdo it.
Most damns on the American side of the Great Lakes are similar with Asian carp cuz on the Canadian side with the Great Lakes we’re making sure we don’t get them
Seems in the US, all carp are not liked. I was always taught to throw them and suckers on the bank if you caught them. I’ve seen the docs on the Asian carp though.. having to kill all the fish in the waters just to get rid of them is sad. They are a sport fish in the UK, and have had Mexican and black friends that eat them like regular fish. I’ve had smoked Carp, and enjoyed it, otherwise was always told they have too many bones. The crazy thing is when I was a kid, the adults told me they were a “trash fish” because they eat off the bottom, and just about anything, yet went cat fishing and acted like they were some prize.. They definitely eat anything, and love sucking up food off the bottom.. 😂
They are very damaging to our ecosystems in the U.S. it’s not sad when you see what they do. I would eat them too if they come from cleaner lakes, just a lot of big reservoirs are pretty dirty and I don’t want to eat something that’s been cleaning junk from a lake.
Yes, you can eat Asian carp, and some say they are a safe, healthy, and tasty food source. However, they are considered an invasive species in the United States and are not often found on restaurant menus. Here are some things to know about eating Asian carp: Taste Asian carp have white, firm, mild flesh. Some say they are clean-eating fish with white, flaky meat and not much fishy taste. Bones Asian carp have intramuscular bones in their filets, which some people find undesirable. They are difficult to process into products like fish sticks, patties, and fillets because of their Y-shaped bones. Preparation To prepare Asian carp, you can fry them in hot oil until golden brown, then remove the bones and serve them in a sandwich or as strips. Nutrition Asian carp are high in healthy Omega-3 fatty acids and have lower levels of toxins. Invasive species Asian carp are considered an invasive species in the United States, where they threaten rivers, lakes, and indigenous species.
Great for the veggie garden. Dig a hole, drop it in. Cover with some garden powdered lime/dolomite lime, back fill and plant your veggie seedling. By the time it breaks down the roots will start feeding. Also here in Australia we have a liquid fertiliser called “Charlie carp” which is made from carp.
Oh why have I never considered that as an option 😂 I havent eaten them personally but I've read recipes and looked at videos and theres some ok white meat but a lot of bones
They have tiny bones, so just cook em in a pressure cooker to soften the bones. Maybe also add soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and spices like bay leaf, black pepper. I'm sure they'll taste great.
there are multiple "edible" species of carp And this is one of the most expensive ones And for us Chinese we much more prefer steam fish so the freshness and taste of the fish is really important And this bighead carp well know for front half of the fish the head for its super tender flesh less bones and clean taste , but their tail have many small bones And a dish of steam fish head could cost 1/3 of the whole meal with 5 dishes, could be more expensive than pork or beef dish Or a head could be 2~5x the price of a tilapia The fish has been overfishing and require fish farming to keep the supply going
Here they r called "grass carp" bc it eats all of the plantmatter in every river nd pond...they released them abt 20yrs ago to keep aquatic-vegetation in check...pain in the ass those fish...
Uses for Asian Carp - Food (Very Bony, but really good when you get past that) - Pet Feed - Fertilizer - Small chunks can be recast as bait - Trophy Mount - good donation fish If you ever overcatch them, if you have everything you need already, they’re just generally great to give to shelters who need food
We don’t got those in Florida but we do got tons of pleco which are arguably some of the worst invasive species of all time. They’ll sit on the beds of native fish to where they can’t reproduce unless they pleco are removed.
They taste awful too! At least you can eat carp and they taste good smoked and at worst you grind them into cat and dog food. Cats, dogs, and even raccoons and osprey won't eat the plecos!
There where i live, we had a reservoir created after the construction of dam named Tarbela, the authorities to increased the fishes introduced this Silver fish, now this fish is everywhere, and it has eaten up the native species
Largemouth bass are only fully native to the central United States, check if they’re invasive to your state or non native and if they are leave them on the shore
What we need are a couple of major-league celebrity chefs to make them a signature dish the way Paul Prudhome did with blackened redfish in the 80s, and that'll overfish the bastards down all right.

People need to start a company to overfish them and sell them as cheap fish. Have the state subsidize them to make it so its suuuper cheap.
They also can also be processed in to pellets to make organic fertilizer.
@@raclark2730That sounds like a better idea if you overfish. Not popular in USA to eat this one
It’ll cost startup money, which governments are allergic to, so they’ll never try it.
