Snakeheads are from Asia and were brought to the U.S. as part of the aquarium trade and aquaculture. "They're considered to be good table fare," Bourgeois says. "The biologist up in Arkansas said he prefers them to catfish."
Officials have also tried saying this about Silver Jumping Carp and Nutria. It did not catch on...not sure it will with snakeheads.
We should definitely consider eating invasive species. This includes iguanas in Florida, as well as blue catfish in the Chesapeake Bay.
Nutria... the giant swamp rat?
These have been in the US for a while now. I remember when they first turned up in Lake Michigan. This isn't a great article, but it's from that time period: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna6254302
I suggest we collect them and a bunch of other Asian fish, then go about returning them to Asia.
That sounds mildly terrifying.
I've seen "Snakehead Terror". Those things are monsters.
This sounds like an absurd story someone would make up as a joke... but its real!
