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 provides background information about these fish and describes one of the first steps in the cleaning process- removing the filets. This segment is the first in a series of three that teach you how to turn flying fish into a great dish!

  • it is cheap in US ?

    

  • They taste great, but too many fine bones.

  • How about cutting under the gills to bleed the fish first, leaving more white meat?

  • I could imagine these fish being even more popular if they were built like a normal fish with regular pin bones in the front, not all the way down like this.

    I'm also amazed that there would be any form of catch limit on them, they're a invasive species, go all out with no catch limits and year round seasons.

  • At the rate these fish are spawning/growing in number and size, why not have fishing tournaments with no size or number limits allowed and clean/donate to the hungry, food banks/shelters. With this fish being as plentiful and lean as said, its a good cheap food for EVERYONE to eat.

    I personally have NOT tried it yet, but am more than willing should one land for Me.

  • BOO LSU, GO ZOU!!

  • Looks like alligator tail meat. Probably very lean.

  • Did a taste test between Bighead, Buffalo, Walleye and Catfish. All deep fat fried and the Big head was cut like the Carp wings and the Big head won.

  • This vid has got to go viral I'm in Alberta Canada I love fish but our catch limits suck why don't they export the fish

  • for a scientist...this guy can sideline as a chef
