Flying Fish, Great Dish (Part 2: Making "Flying Carp Wings")

Asian carp is an invasive fish species that has rapidly taken over ecosystems in parts of the Mississippi River and Missouri River regions. These fish (Asian carp consist of silver carp (or "flying fish") and bighead carp) have been voraciously consuming plankton, leaving less food for native fish; which has a negative impact on these environments. In addition, Asian carp have been causing harm to people by jumping into boats. What can humans do about this problem? We can catch them according to individual states' laws, thereby helping to deplete their staggering populations. But, its not only about solving problems; Asian carp are also an excellent fish to eat- offering large, low-fat, nutritious filets. This video teaches you how to make Flying Carp Wings. The segment is the second in a series of three that teach you how to turn flying fish into a great dish!

your comments are harsh but true. However, being this fish is an invasive species to America it makes no difference whether the fish is caught and disposed of or caught and processed wastefully. This fish shouldn't be in our ecosystem and we have to do what we can to either eliminate it or try and control it's numbers in order to preserve our ecosystem and save our native species.

Yeah, he does waste alot of meat which could have been boiled to make a fish soup..That said these fish are plentiful and I don't think he's too worried about it.

what's up with lazy Americans? My mom would just cook this whole fish and eat slowly by slowly... picking out bones just like eating crabs and lobsters. My gosh.

I think it is a blessing in disguise . This fish . can feed all the hungry people in the world .. . The damage has been done . make the best of it . To get the bones out better . you should smoke them like Macrel . or like the canadin whitefish . . . sold smoked in florida . Then you can find the bone much better . , when eating the fish , Also they stay fresh much longer . Art in holland .

way too much hassle to mess with them. Make fertilizer and animal feed out of them and be done with it

Red meat doesn't have to taste gamey, it usually tastes bitter and unusual... The video also shows that there's very little of it, but you can put that in a stock pot.

I swear Americans are incapable of eating anything with bones in it. Always gotta filet everything, and they gotta be breaded and deep fried. If you are making something like a fish stew or fish soup, you are gonna lose a lot of flavor because a lot of flavor is in those skin and bones. Fish belly is very fatty and awesome. You can also eat fish liver.

Sorry but this video shows a lot of wastage. The skin on these fish are delicious.
