Tried this method tonight with bighead carp. It did not work: the bones lay flat against the cutting board. There's no slicing through the meat down to the cutting board as shown here, at least not with a 7-8lb bighead.
Well, I just gave it the old Louisiana try. I haven't eaten it yet but for what you end up with and the work involved, I doubt I'll be bringing too many home.
seems like this could be a win / win situation for everybody. if you could develop an industry around the fish it would reduce numbers while providing jobs and food. instead they've been mass hunted and left to rot?? only in america...
awesome series, thank you for uploading this series of videos, very informative. I don't see much waste, the bones can be ground up for fish food and used for fertilizer, the red meat is unappetizing and can serve the same purposes, and that's a 12;b fish that mostly head, so I see this as a good job for the circumstances, I would hate to eat bones.
@flamedrag18 don't forget the pet food industry, cats don't mind red meat at all and also aquaculture and fish food can use the blood and bones.......
So much waste.....All the bones and red meat. There are a lot of fish that are a lot easier to clean. Hopefully the coonasses in Louisiana will catch the fire for eating these things and wipe them out. I'll bet these carp make good fertilizer
shit i need to move down south and start working on a fast way to de-bone these things so resturants and people who have a taste of the fillets won't have to waste time doing this
You can't get ciguatera from freshwater fish. And predacious fish are more likely to have a buildup of the toxin because the toxin bioconcentrates through the food chain. So that is just silly.
Thanks guys. I've watched all three videos now. These fish just moved into our local river here in Kentucky and we have been trying to figure out a reason to go after them. I'll be frying some up shortly. :-) Keep up the good work.
Really why not use them as a food export to country where the fish is sought after for its meat? That would be a good way to make money.

I hope they use the boney meat. You can grind in all in dog/cat food. There is alot of wasted good white meet with bone.
Fish has ALOt of white meat though.

Will this method also work on common carp? That is, is the skeletal structure the same between the species?

You're right. My bad. Reading further, i found the dinoflagellate "Pfiesteria".. thats WORSE than ciguatera o_o

Its dangerous to eat such a large filter-feeding species.. Someone's gonna end up getting ciguatera.
