If you can't em beat, eat you em.
This is the battle cry for environmentalists that setting are cooks - and fillet knives and pans - to combat invasive species.
The latest target of SNAKEHEAD fish, an aggressive animal has after Asia and Africa, which was the waterways of Maryland and Florida with alarming speed in the last decade population. A predator eating fish as large dominated rivers and Lakes such as perch and bass, the SNAKEHEAD location, as soon as they are.
But this week of the SNAKEHEAD went aquatic pest to delicacy on a fundraiser for an Annapolis-based environmental organisation, the oyster recovery partnership. Nine prominent chefs - including national geographic fellow Barton Seaver - grilled, fried, grilled pale fillets and served them then a curious audience.
That dressed until dinner plate strategy was in trying to invasive species to eliminate, or at least contain. And there are varying degrees of success.
It was difficult with some problematic fish such as the Asian Carp, which has over the Mississippi River, which people to customize their palate of the environment's sake. And coral reef defenders still hope that the appetite for lionfish will take effect.
But that's no problem with the SNAKEHEAD. A traditional cuisine in Viet Nam and Thailand is SNAKEHEAD, among others. And John Rorapaugh, Vice President for sustainable initiatives on Profish, a seafood company based in Washington, D.C., describes the fish as a "Very clean tasting, mild, and just a great, great delicacy."
In the past, Maryland Department of natural resources, or MDNR has tried, drain and poison the ponds of SNAKEHEAD to stop spreading.
However, Rorapaugh hopes that convincingly by commercial fishermen to pursue and to market the fish markets will be more effective fish. The biggest challenge is contagious because it usually in large schools not gather.
Promoting this particular fish as a food source removal is an ironic choice strategies, because ", which is unfortunately likely as they have here from the outset", Donald Cosden of MDNR says the salt. The U.S. fish and Wildlife Service is, list the probable cause of SNAKEHEAD branch in the United States as "individuals release these fish produce a local food source."
While Rorapaugh is hoping that fillets to sell in local grocery stores, he says SNAKEHEAD, that there are no plans, a genuine fisheries set up. "I would be very happy to sell, sell, sell, sell, and then have no longer to sell," he says. In the meantime, he says, recreational anglers can help by looking for fish in rivers such as the Potomac where the SNAKEHEAD has set up shop.
