They are GREAT eating. They do not taste at all like our "native" carp (no such thing, actually- all carps are from Asia or eastern Europe, including the common carp that crackinsack thinks is native. Common carp is probably the most damaging invasive fish in the USA, but it has been here so long that many people think it is native.) The problems come with the name (carp), the bones in the filet, and the fact that the outside of these fish truly does not smell very good. The meat is delicious and white, and on a large fish (a large one in Kansas would be about 15 pounds, but much larger ones exist) the bones in the filet are about 4" long, which makes them quite easy to negotiate. Frankly, they are much better eating than catfish. For more on eating these fish, see http://mdc.mo.gov/conmag/2004/07/20.htm
