Don't see the problem with eating Carp. Catfish is a freshwater bottom feeder, but catfish filets with Emeril's Lemon Catfish recipe is sublime.
Deboning fish is something you can do in your kitchen, with deboning shears. It's not a hard process, youtube must have lots of videos.
I read an article recently where Florida is starting to advertise different ways to eat python. No thanks on that, but there will plenty of people willing to try it. The same should be done for Carp. After all, the idea worked well with gator meat, which is common in many Florida restaurants.
If it's done right, trendy restaurants could feature Carp, prepared in a variety of ways and people will be paying top dollar for it. Reminds me of humble Kale and how it's now featured in many upscale salads and entrees.
As a kid, I caught a lot of carp in the Potomac. My dad and uncles always ordered a summary execution. We usually brought them home to use as fertilizer in the garden.
One day I caught a good sized one and insisted we eat it. So we did.
Tasted like mud.
Exactly! I grew up eating just about any fish, but, there are BIG differences where and how they are raised. Catfish farming is notorious for "off" tasting fish.

Americans catch and eat a lot of fish. Carp and suckers are usually not kept or eaten. They are thrown on a bank to die and rot or planted in a garden for fertilizer usually. I'd link using them as a food source akin to eating a raccoon, possum, skunk, groundhog, rat or some other such similar PEST!
Why eat garbage fish when a bluegill, perch, walleye, trout, catfish is the very next cast away? It makes no sense to me to do it.
