Asian Carp Processing Plant in Kentucky

Asian Carp Processing Plant Kentucky Two Rivers Fisheries in Wickliffe, KY is taking a run at the Asian Carp market. With an abundance of Bighead and Silver carp in nearby waterways, the fish market is set to process and sell these fish for consumption. Commercial fishermen have often said if you pay us for the invasive carp we will catch them and that is exactly what is happening in Western Kentucky.

Two rivers fishery is a great business. It sends fish to feed people as far as China to the east, and Poland in the west. Not to mention shipping then across the country to various markets that sell the fish. Also they have a line of carp food products of their own, from hotdogs(taste like normal hotdogs too) to dumplings.

I am so grateful for asian carp. This fish "problem" has been a real blessing to my family. Saturday, my son caught a 20 pound big head asian carp. That night I grilled the collars and the belly. Today I deep fried "fish wings" and cooked the back 1/3 over a low wood fire for 3 hrs. So much delicious fish. At this time I don't need to eat the red meat, but there is piles of white meat on this fish. If we get too many carp, I can them. Smooth and mild. No sharpness like canned tuna has sometimes.

I had the opportunity to work in the former Soviet Union for several years and am now married to a Ukrainian woman. They LOVE carp! (called "Karp" in Russian also) There are bunches of them for sale in every grocery store in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus. They also sell what we call Northern Pike, another fish a lot of Americans don't like to eat. They are called "Shooka" in Russian. Also at any of the street markets they are for sale by local fishermen and the old women (babushkas) sell prepared carp in containers. We should get Ukrainian commercial fisherman to come and take them. And while we think Russia has unlimited supplies of beluga caviar (sturgeon, black caviar) much more common and much less expensive is "red caviar"...salmon eggs!

They do taste good and when you fillet them out then take the carcass and bury it in your garden. I use a blender and puree the guts and carcass, people pay me for my jugs of fertilizer. My compost pile is pretty big and I pour it onto the top in the morning and its dry by dark. Problem was critter would come around, but since the fish was so finely pureed they couldn't get much, so the raccoons dug up my compost pile for me, but after awhile they figured out the pickings were slim they stopped coming around. The crows still pick through it though so I had to rake it in some. I have awesome growth in my garden and the trees I put some of the watered down puree on have grown fruit unbelievably well. Organic fertilizer and no poisonous pesticides, but rotenone works for most bugs as does the diatomaceous earth that chokes bug's breathing paths. My garden is a great and healthy hobby. Just a couple of fish a week is all I use.

The Asian Carp are tasty fish. They are much more cleaner, healthier, and more nutritional than Tilapia and many other fishes we get used to eating in America. They are also easy to catch. So the cost should be lower. Americans need to learn how to eat fish like the Japanese and Chinese do. All fishes have bones, and it is easy to remove the bones. Steamed the whole fish, or pan fried them. Super tasty and nutritional. Please do not waste foods. Feed the hungry animals and people. Make the fish lower price or free if needed, until the population is down then start charging more.

@@howardfortyfive9676 *You are off your nut.* How damaged do you have to be for your xenophobia to extend to _fish?_ Asian carp are too well-established to be eradicated. Two avenues of action remain available: *1. Close the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal* in order to preserve the Great Lakes fisheries. The canal physically connects the Mississippi River basin with the Great Lakes ecosystems, where sport fishing pours over $4 billion into local economies and commercial fishing draws about 65 million pounds of fish per year. A single silver carp has already been detected in Lake Michigan, making this an urgent matter. *2. Sustain downward pressure on the numbers of carp* already established in the Mississippi River and its drainages. The only practical way to accomplish this is to establish demand for these carp and drive it to consume supply. We'll never be rid of them but their numbers can be controlled in a manner that allows native species to largely coexist. *You Trumptards are too busy hating* to recognise (much less formulate) scientifically workable, economically viable solutions. _It's making you downright stupid._ Fortunately the carp are delicious, so demand for them can be more readily developed. They are also filter feeders-they escaped from impoundments where they were introduced to control algal blooms-so ideally a managed population would make the rivers a more healthful habitat, whether you like it or not.

[@Bbfishman]

its really kind of funny how a few years back people were in hysterics wondering what we were going to do about these fish and just having an all around freak out attack thinking that this would be the end of our fresh water river systems and even lakes. Its crazy that we were spending so much money coming up with these intricate traps and repellent systems in an attempt to stop them from breeding and moving north into the great lakes. All we needed to do was start fishing them commercially and selling them to foreign markets like this. Its funny that the answer was right under our noses but we were too busy having a panic attack to see that. The best part is that this fish will soon be classified as an endangered species or "protected" after about 20 years when the commercial fishermen over harvest them just like every other commercial fishery around the world hahahah. Seems that the best way to decimate the population of a species, is to simply allow people to harvest them. Happened with shark fishing back in the 70's and 80's and they're still recovering....and its happening with Tuna populations all around the pacific. If we really want to destroy the numbers of fish in a body of water, all we have to do is open it up to commercial fisheries with no regulation. Asian carp problem would be solved in 15 years if those bad boys attacked those rivers and fished them dry. Then we would have to worry about the algae blooms since there wouldnt be enough fish to control the algae population for a few years....but hey, i'd rather deal with algae for a few years while our domestic species rebound, and eliminate those carp if they're just going to completely take over again if given the chance.

I asked for asian carp at the grocery store, they had no idea what I was talking about. This fish escaped from fish farms in the 1993 floods - it was brought to the US as food! I'd rather get wild-caught asian carp from Kentucky than wild caught cod from the Atlantic.

The problem is that in the US they only advertise Salmon, Bass, and a couple of others. These fish are perfectly eatable people need to stop listening to the propaganda and pay $20-30 / LB for salmon.

[@georgeford6056]

The stores carry what people want, so if they were actually good tasting fish, the stores would be selling them. There is no anti-carp propaganda, people in the U.S. just have easy access to better tasting fish and choose to not eat fish that have to be drowned in spices in order to cover up the taste of the fish.

[@howardfortyfive9676]

JoJo you go right on ahead and eat $20-30 a lb for Salmon. Gimme CHEESE instead in sanwiches. Grilled toasted or nuked. Now *THAT'S sum GOOD Eatin'. Checkout myselfreliance on YT.

[@GplusGains]

@George Ford, dude go peddle your lies on salmon.com. Carp meat is a clean tasting meat, much like catfish and somewhat like bluegill. Drowned in spices to cover up the fishy taste...clowns like him during the early 20th century were attempting to convince the public not to eat lobsters, calamari, garlic, and awesome spices we now have and enjoy. Stick with your bland foods like mac n powder cheese, over buttered mash potatoes and meatloaf w/ ketchup.

These can't be that bad to eat. Compared to catfish are they more gamey tasting? When fish is fried and with a little sauce it sounds like it would be good to eat. In China and korea they prefer salt water fish but these carp is good for soup. We have some fisheries in Chicago that should put this on the menu and I'm sure the late night patrons after drinking at the bar or club will eat them.

[@DrDemento456]

carp are apparently very bony and dry tasting as opposed to Catfish tasting more like frogs but people eat frog too so maybe they just enjoy Catfish more. Also if you cut it wrong and forget to soak it in salt water prior I hear its a very dirty tasting fish since they are bottom feeders.

[@carlpeiffer291]

Gamey tasting?? what is that? This could be the most ignorantly used adjective of all time. What's chicken taste like? Not Gamey?

[@kellymelton9207]

they're actually very nice to eat. They are top feeders or filter feeders really and the meat is light and flaky has no strong fishy taste or odor. There is a very small commercial market for them as there is very little profit to be made and sportsman anglers don't take many of them as they don't eat baitfish or anything you would pitch with a rod and reel. They are bony even down the filets thou.
