Eat the Enemy: Turning the Asian Carp Invasion into Healthy, Delicious Cuisine: A Complete Guide to Catching and Cooking Asian Carp,

The Complete Guide to Catching and Cooking Asian Carp.

There is an ecological disaster going on right now which has infected the major river systems and surrounding wetlands of America. From southern Florida to the Canadian border, Asian carp are ravaging ecosystems, destroying native fish populations and wildlife habitat, and now threaten to enter the Great Lakes.

Millions of dollars are being spent annually by Federal and State Governments to control the damage done by these fish, with little or no impact. Natural resource experts firmly believe that the only practical solution to the long-term management of these invasive species is large-scale harvesting through both commercial and recreational fishing.

Silver and bighead Asian carp have been a highly prized staple of nutrition in their native countries for thousands of years, but in America, they're considered worthless "trash fish." In recent years, however, scientists, health experts, and gourmet chefs have discovered that these fish are incredibly delicious and one of the healthiest on the planet!

In Eat the Enemy, author Joseph Classen offers a complete guide to catching and cooking this organic, locally harvested food source, which is currently going to waste! This book explores the following topics:

• An overview of the Asian carp invasion and ecosystem destruction
• The autobiographical adventure story of a river rat catfishing kid turned Alaskan fishing guide, who upon his return to the Midwest was in search of worthy table fare
• A biological and nutritional profile of Asian carp
• Detailed Asian carp fishing and processing methods
• A cookbook component with 50 mouth-watering Asian carp recipes
