We are undertaking a volunteer effort here in Nebraska in an attempt to get carp (particularly bighead) on the menus of more people. The wheels are already turning to get a market established for silver carp (will call them silverfish), but we'll be setting up a lakeside fillet table and have a couple local guides bring their catches for us to fillet, cook and serve.

I've never had bighead carp and am as skeptical as the next guy. But I have close friends who swear by it. This is definitely not a solution, just an attempt to pull something good out of an unfortunate situation.
