If you live in the Great Lakes states, by afraid. Very afraid.
The Asian silver carp is coming.
If this species gets into Lake Michigan through the Chicago River, or into Lake Erie, you'd better get used to the taste of carp, because they might be the only fish left in the Lakes.
Why are they so big? They take over the river and eat everything in sight.
On the plus side, they do make excellent gefilte fish. Make sure the horseradish is fresh and hot.

It's an ethnic thing, and for sure an acquired taste, but a great protein source. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif[/img]
