Are those asian carp edible? Sure would make a lot of fish sticks and cat food!
Yes and from what I understand tasty too. There is a market in Asia for them and they are trying to develop a market here in the U.S.. There are commercial fishermen who fish for them but I don't think they bring much money.
There was a tournament on KY Lake in 2013, 21 teams caught about 83,000 pounds. The winning team had 28,670 pounds. I don't remember how many days they fished.
