From the internet:
As an additional benefit the white amur meat is a delicious white meat that is considered a delicacy in many parts of the world. White amur was rated better than catfish, bass, or trout by a taste panel at Warm Springs, GA. and Auburn University.
White amur is another common name for grass carp...
Now whether you think they taste better than catfish, bass or trout, well that is up to you! I've never eaten one but I know common carp is actually better tasting than most people would think when they come from clean waters and are prepared properly.
Y'all know that I'll try most anything. And, I know Bruce likes them. The meat looks absolutely fantastic. But, I've tried grass carp multiple ways - smoked, fried, deep fried, pickled . . . Maybe it was just the ones from my pond that had an odd taste, but neither my wife, nor I, liked it. I guess it is an aquired taste. The bear got most of it when I threw it out behind the barn. He only left the scales.
