Yes, I have eaten several Asian Bighead carp but no Silvers as of yet. I have heard from Duane Chapman, the Federal fisheries biologist, that the Asain Silver carp are even better but I will state for the record that the Bighead carp are very good. They are nothing like the common carp in my opinion which I have yet to find a manner in which I like them prepared. The Bighead meat is white and flaky, very mild,and is very good smoked BUT it does have many more bones than say the typical skeletal system of other fish. I need to get the technique down on how to fillet these bad boys and fortunately there are a lot of them to practice on.
