This is so awesome. The Chinese would be buying our trash fish. Win! Win!

Gov. Pat Quinn says if you can't beat Asian carp, then you eat them.

Quinn today announced an agreement with a Chinese meat processing company and an Illinois fishery to catch the fish and ship them to China where they are a delicacy.

Quinn says the idea is to harvest the invasive fish from Illinois rivers before they get into the Great Lakes.

It's funny, just like in Japan, they hate bass and want to give them to us, they are a nusance there, but we love to eat them and fish for them here.

I've had Asian carp. It ain't that bad. It is borderline good eating. I still won't eat balut though.

Asian carp isn't bad if cooked right. Processed into fish cakes/sticks or fake crab meat, it could be quite good. But Americans don't like the idea of eating carp.

You sure can. Chinatown or New Chinatown on Argyle. You can get duck or chicken balut. You can buy them by the egg or by the tray.
