I rather like Pacific Slimehead or as it was renamed,
Orange Roughy.

Just remove the poison spines first, OK?

If this is the case, they should do like they used to in SC for hogs; year long open season, no license/tag, any means.

Every state should do this on hogs.

I foresee an all you can eat zebra mussel restaurant. If you leave before you've eaten your fair share the host/bouncer will drag you back to your table like your mother did before you finish your brussels sprouts.

Only three more platefuls and you can leave.

I’m not eating muslim. Period.

[eastforker]

I didn’t think Syrians/Muslims would fry up very well.

If only I didn’t have this fish allergy...

Here in SW Pennsylvania they closed and drained some private fishing ponds in 84 PA. because there were Asian carp in the ponds. Maybe they would be good as fertilizer.

I can’t verify it from personal experience, but I’ve heard that the invasive Snakehead is a very tasty fish.

Eat an Invasive Species for Dinner

To control the spread of lionfish, ecologists and chefs are trying to make it a mainstream meal option.

American seafood enthusiasts have spent years dining on salmon, shrimp, and the occasional mahi mahi. Now a new, rather unexpected fish is starting to creep onto menus and into seafood shelves at supermarkets: lionfish.

As a growing number of people become aware of the vast environmental havoc this small fish can wreak, a group of fish vendors, chefs, and diners are realizing that the best way to control the threat might just be to eat our way out of it.

Seafood Watch, a program that assesses and rates the sustainability of seafood options, started looking into lionfish last year after fielding inquiries from local chefs and consumers who were interested in eating the species. At first, the organization declined to provide a recommendation because there is not yet an established commercial fishery for lionfish, said Ryan Bigelow, outreach program manager for the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch. But the more they heard, the more interested they became, and, in October 2015, the group released its first report on lionfish, labeling it a “best choice,” the highest available rating.

Eurasian collared doves are shot by dove hunters, frequently in the off-season, due to the fact they are considered an invasive species and they aren’t protected. I haven’t been dove hunting in years but seems like they would provide good shooting.

I went into a fish store and one of the fish called me “handsome.” I said “I’ll take thay lyin’ fish!”

Beef isn’t native to N. America. Does that make it an invasive species?

[Rurudyne]

Eat an invasive species?

Nothing, and I repeat “nothing”, would ever make me consider eating a so-called “progressive” ... the cannibal thing aside, they probably taste like the shit they believe in.
