Carps in US taste totally different from the same species farmed or wild caught in Asia. They have tried to process and export US carp to China and Vietnam but it did not work. One explanation I heard is that carps are bottom feeders and sediment along Mississippi water ways are often polluted with heavy metals, the taste of which accumulates in the fish.

I just learned a while ago how some fish eggs can survive being digested by birds. I can understnad how quickly things can get out of control.

As someone who lives in the Great Lakes region, they should just completely cut off the Des Plaines River from the Chicago River. Backfill the locks and replace them with intermodal ports that will shift cargo from a barge on the canal to one on the river, instead of letting barges travel all the way through. If the carp get into the Great Lakes Basin it could destroy economies throughout the region that are already hurting from deindustrialization.

These fish are perfectly good to eat. In fact Grass carp is one of my favorites. You can do a number of things to remove the bones - make boneless fillets (more difficult and wastes a fair bit of meat), pressure cook or can them - turns the bones soft, or grind them into carp burger - grinds up and screens out the bones. I have done all of the above. They are delicious fish and agree with the name change.
