Probably one of the best ideas to come out of Illinois for a while.
I am surprised they didn't try to expand the export market more, but then again why would people import frozen when they can get it fresh in any fishmonger cheaper. And I suppose you must weigh the problems the industry will have with America trying to export a common foodfish to a big market while at the same time trying to block that markets exports of a common foodfish to America which would make business deals quite interesting.

Obviously yubba hasn't eaten much real food.

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!

Smoked carp isnt bad eating if you don't mind all the bones.

Really is kinda like having a mouth full of splinters.

Crap, carp can be considered good country crock pot cook'in considering the crap the carp eats.

I'm sure it's better than nothing and it's probably okay if it's processed right. Pollack isn't any high class fish and that's what they normally use.

We eat carp quite often. Not as often as a trout, but if we catch one young one it's grilled before you say carpe diem. Old carps, like eating a tire with bones
