In Malaysia, a particular variety of carp, Hoven's carp, is known as Sultan Fish by the locals. The rulers of the land long ago were Sultans and they sure knew how to appreciate this fish! This particular fish is prized for the incredibly soft and delicate meat texture as well as the sweet flavour profile. I myself have tasted this fish and can say for certain that it cannot compare to any river fish out there. It does not have the usual muddy smell and taste of a freshwater fish.

Here in South East Asia, this fish would be steamed to preserve the amazingly delicate flavour and texture of the meat. Then served with finely sliced pieces of ginger, shallots, red chilli, rock sugar, and Kikoman soy sauce, as is normally the case for how we like to serve steamed fish.

And yes, this fish would cost a lot of money in a restaurant in this part of the world. Around USD 100 if you were to order this in a restaurant!

In addition, I heard they didn't start jumping until they were introduced to the U.S.A. Any vibration in the water drives them wild and they begin jumping can be dangerous to boaters.

CMON, most fresh water fish have so many bones, the only reason american wont eat it because of the name, change the name to AMERICAN SILVER FRESH WATER ROCK BASS and it will be price rocket and the population will be gone in matter of months

*Murica:* _"Eating them has been challenging. People just don't want to pick around the bones"_

*Filipinos:* _"Hold my tsinelas"_

Magikarp used struggle. It was very effective

[e.fifield]

as with any fish with alot of bones the best way to handle is to fillet and put the fillet through a meat grinder with the smallest grinding plate available. what this does is this makes the bones so tiny it renders them harmless, and as a fish patty it makes it easy to add spices and flavorings, have done this with other carp and pike and it works great and tastes awesome !! this is a good thing that these carp taste good and are usable it would not be cool otherwise as in keeping the population in check

Someone should catch these fish on industrial scale, freeze those fish and send them to Asia. Marinade the fish with Thai sauce and grill it in the garden over the weekend. Hmm yummy...

[tsingyuan]

Get some Chinese fishing company to those rivers please. They will be really glad to fish all these carps up. In addition, Americans need to learn how to spit bones when they eat fishes.

[cassiodomingues]

All I can see is wasted protein jumping out of the water. If I lived there I'd eat fish everyday.

[GeneticHybrids]

We pressure cook the fillets until the bones are soft enough to eat... only catch is the fillets fall apart. We then use a hamburger press to reform the fish into patties and then fry. These carp are actually pretty good if you stay out of the red meat...but they are a lot of trouble to prepare

[ahndeux]

Its a delicious fish. The fish can be processed into fish fish paste without any bones. With bonefish and other similar bony fish, you scrape the meat off instead of eating them as fillets.

[tishatisha]

They better start wearing helmets while fishing for Carp because of the damge they can do to fisher's. I can't believe one of them broke that woman jaw, that is crazy!

[darthvader]

Wear a motor cycle helmet that also protects your neck and shoulders.

[greggv]

Build boats with wire mesh shielding and a sloped front with a lot of knives sticking out. Also have a panel the knives on the front poke through so it can be pushed forward to remove the skewered fish. Run around the river fast and kill lots of those fish.

[wenaldy]

What??? This fish is quite luxurious in south east asia.

[rondhole]

Pressure cook it until the bones super soft and all the seasonings absorbed well.

All this video needs is a giant fire breathing carp laying waste to Chicago

My students are doing research on invasive species right now. This one is scary...
