Carp is delicious. As is eel. As is Catfish. It's all in the prep. The thing is, food items move in and out of acceptable fashion according cultural & historical context - it's not always to do with taste. Read up on the history of Atlantic Cod or Maine Lobster and you'll see that at one time these delicacies were also once considered vermin, fit for the dogs and not for the table. What we have to do is secure a better understanding of what we are doing when we categorise animals. Simply calling them 'pests' removes invasive animals from the very viable option of hunting and eating them.
