Old southern recipe for carp.
You scale and dress the carp fresh from the water. Then you nail it to a fresh cut pine board. You then baste the fish with a sauce made up of equal parts of yellow mustard, Ketchup, brown sugar, honey, salt and pepper. You insert board/fish into a 350 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes...remove from oven, dismount the fish, throw it to the cats and eat the board.
Got to be a use for these suckers, I have seen Documentaries of them at their worse and home raw film that is a wonder to behold.
Some of these best weigh in at 50 -60 + pounds. The fly in the air on their jump and often injure people when they land in their boat.
All this potential food source for the use of humans, and the weekend fishermen are crying about the loss of the native fish due to these big monsters.
Much like the Pythons in Florida, if one puts a price high enough on their head--- WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE , a bounty as it were make it worth while to spend a weekend out hunting the buggers. $1,000 per snake over the size of 5 feet. females get $250 extra. Under 5 feet, $500. with a $ 100.00 added on for the females .
Back to the Carp, if these things get in to the big Lake Superior now what ?
Only reason we have a declining population of some species has become humans finding a need for them for what ever.
So as a female were I 30 years younger, I would head for Asia and spread the word that Carp oil cured a mans impotence, only wild caught not farmed. Add in the best oil came from America wild caught Carp.
Before you know it the Asians will come over here with their big frozen food factory ships and with in a couple of years, clean out the problem for us.
