You would be surprised at the number of species of fish people once looked upon as they do carp but now consider them as sought after delicacies.
Take soft shell crab for instance. Vile and dirty bottom feeders a species that even smell like what they eat, poop. Never a market for it really until after civil war when the economy tanked and food was scarce. It made for a cheap and easily attainable food source which people could make money off. Today a savory delicacy sold for big bucks.
A federaly imposed moratorium on Red Snapper licenses? Big whoop! just go find a new and unregulated species nobody ever heard of before like Talapia. Another poo eater which good advertising now tells us is a delicacy at $12.00 or more a pound, served at only the finest restaurants.
I can almost gaurantee, you'll be hearing in the news soon how great the nutritional value and tastiness of carp is. Carp are everywhere and better yet an unregulated species so it's only a matter of time before someone discovers a market for them. And wa-la we have new delicacy!
