This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The sad thing is that carp doesn't even taste good.
It's protein that can be feed to other things than humans - any fowl, if you want the end result to be food for you - or pets. Some enterprising soul could start a company that buys carp from recreational fishers and funnels them to a cat food company. For instance.
They do look deceptively tasty, though, don't they? It's interesting how most invasive species seem to be not good eating for humans.
Fully agreed! However, invasive lionfish buck this trend in tasty, tasty fashion. I daresay it's the best tasting fish, bar none. I liken it to albacore sashimi with Kerrygold butter put together, but even better.
