Looks like there are two articles:

We’ll take the Mexicans, Guatemalans, Syrians, and the Chechnyans, BUT WE DON’T WANT ASIAN CARP!

Put them through a grinder and you have an absolutely amazing fertilizer

I was watching an episode of “Zatoichi, The Blind Swordsman” a few days ago. Ichi was at some town in Japan and mentioned that the carp were really good there.

I guess they can be prepared to be OK.

They are big! Good youtube video. You can eat 'em. American carp are bottom feeders and has lots of tiny bones but I love the stuff smoked. Love sturgeon, too.

Filleting and cooking recipes. People taste tested boneless fillets (takes a little skill to fillet and bone them right). Out of 307, a majority really liked them, some better than tilapia and catfish. Can't imagine I'd like them better than catfish.

Now this is a thread that I can really enjoy reading!

Looks like good shot gunning , but for the crowd.
