What's so great about Asian carp?

🐟mild-flavored & flaky
🐟caught in the Midwest
🐟more savory than tilapia
🐟cleaner tasting than catfish
🐟firmer than cod

It needs a name as appealing as its taste so more people will eat it, help restore waterways & protect the Great Lakes.

@eatguineapigs Interesting! Are you going to make a report on USGS NAS? I don't see anything currently in Idaho for this species.

This summer we'll be with @FoxValleyParks @STCParkDistrict and @ForestPreserve pulling rusty crayfish from local waterways & talking all about #invasivespecies during their annual Rusty Rodeo!

Thanks to @CGLLiteracy for co-sponsoring this event!

An original haiku for National Crayfish Day:

Mudbug in the stream
Decapod, ten legs to flex-
Scuttle all summer
