If you can’t beat them, eat them. That is the idea at the Illinois Department of Natural Resources as one approach to managing the ongoing invasion of invasive carp in the Mississippi and connecting rivers. They even propose renaming the carp and marketing the fish as copi, to make the invasive species more palatable on restaurant menus and in store refrigerator displays.
The department has even created copi recipes to persuade restaurants to serve mouth-watering dishes such as “copi fresh fish tacos, a copi firehouse fish burger, and copi smoked fish dip.”
In the 1960s and ‘70s, four species of carp were introduced into the United States from Asia. The bighead, black, grass and silver carp were imported to eat algae in wastewater treatment plants and aquaculture ponds, as well as to serve as a source of food.
