We could cook up some Zebra mussels and serve them as a side dish.edit on 23-9-2011 by MichiganSwampBuck because: typo and last lineedit on 23-9-2011 by MichiganSwampBuck because: another typo
Look, the bottom of bottom feeders are tasty. Oysters, crabs, mollusks, etc. I don't care what they filter as much as how soon can I "safely" eat them.

They don't even consider that it may flood and spread the invasive carp through the whole Mississippi watershed. They don't even provide realistic solutions to preventing them from entering the Great Lakes.

What they do is pull the head off, suck what is inside of that out, then dig out the tail part, to eat!
I nearly vomited when I saw people doing that, but, that's how they do it there! Just watching the process to cook the things made me sick. They put them in a huge vat of some sort, and pour in enough salt for 50 people to consume in a year to get the crawfish to vomit before cooking them.
After that is done, they put them in a boiling pot with other spices and MORE salt.
Nasty!

I think a lot of people are missing the point here. Do some research on these fish. They have destroyed and/or are destroying river systems ecosystem. It is actually pretty sad. And almost nothing can be done to combat them, although I don't mind the idea of getting rid of them per people who need food.
The following meal advisories for fish found with elevated levels of chlordane, methylmercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are based primarily on protecting sensitive populations, most particularly women who are pregnant, nursing, or of childbearing age, fetuses, and children younger than 15 years of age. All advisories may be overprotective for women beyond childbearing age and males 15 years of age and older.
