About Eat The Enemy: Turning The Asian Carp Invasion Into
Product Description The Complete Guide to Catching and Cooking Asian Carp. There is an ecological disaster going on right now which has infected the major river systems and surrounding wetlands of America. From southern Florida to the Canadian border, Asian carp are ravaging ecosystems, destroying native fish populations and wildlife habitat, and now threaten to enter the Great Lakes. Millions of dollars are being spent annually by Federal and State Governments to control the damage done by these fish, with little or no impact. Natural resource experts firmly believe that the only practical solution to the long-term management of these invasive species is large-scale harvesting through both commercial and recreational fishing. Silver and bighead Asian carp have been a highly prized staple of nutrition in their native countries for thousands of years, but in America, they’re considered worthless “trash fish.” In recent years, however, scientists, health experts, and gourmet chefs have discovered that these fish are incredibly delicious and one of the healthiest on the planet! In Eat the Enemy, author Joseph Classen offers a complete guide to catching and cooking this organic, locally harvested food source, which is currently going to waste! This book explores the following topics: An overview of the Asian carp invasion and ecosystem destruction The autobiographical adventure story of a river rat catfishing kid turned Alaskan fishing guide, who upon his return to the Midwest was in search of worthy table fare A biological and nutritional profile of Asian carp Detailed Asian carp fishing and processing methods A cookbook component with 50 mouth-watering Asian carp recipes Review Joe Classen, a true river conservationist, was born in Missouri and grew up hunting, fishing, and photographing the Mighty Mississippi River. He is a well-recognized outdoor writer and has developed a passion for becoming part of the "united front" that battles the Asian carp. In this book, Eat the Enemy , he generously shares some of his recollections of how the mighty river has changed during his lifetime. This book also provides a step-by-step procedure for many different ways for catching, cooking and eating these delicious invasive species. This is a great book! You will definitely enjoy the "boat ride." Quinton Phelps, Ph.D Professor of Fisheries Science at Missouri State University. Make no mistake, the Asian carp invasion is a disturbing tale that has been told by many different organizations, conservation agencies and media outlets. However, "Eat the Enemy!" is a much-needed, refreshing look at one solution to the dilemma and crisis facing our waterways. Classen's new book, "Eat the Enemy!" explains why the invasive Asian carp should be on every menu and family dining table around the country. His book is a road map for one of the solutions to the Asian carp invasion.
