Invaders !

[eppie]

I've also heard that it's supposed to be really good smoked. The other problem, at least with the type of carp we have up here, is that they are thickly-scaled and full of bones, so it's a pain to clean them.

I see a pattern here.
We are still so spoiled we are not considering eating a fish that we consider an invasive species, because although it tastes allright, it costs a bit more time to clean. For the same money we can easily empty some piece of water in the deep pacific or south china sea and ship it over.
So instead of just dealing with the situation, we 1; don't make use of a sustainable source of high protein/healthy fish that if we catch lots if it actually helps solving a problem and 2; we just continue destroying the seas in other parts of the world, because we still can.?

This is one of these situations where I rapidly loose faith in human kind.
