    asian, threadfin, gizzard. Asian clue is the double gill black slit behind the main gill.

    And the asian carp smells like egg rolls

    Table etiquette rule #12, if you smell it you have to eat it.

    No, but that is a good name. Could also be Mississippi Tuna, Indiana Tuna, or what ever state you are in Tuna.

    My son and I unknowingly ate some last fall in a resturaunt. See article.

    Kentucky Tuna - YouTube I watched this KY Afield video and dug around a little more. According to what I read there's a movement to start calling asian carp "kentucky tuna" so people would start eating them more. I will say that the idea of eating a carp is not appealing so the name change may not be a bad idea.

    I went with #1 because i thought the shape of the nose and mouth looked different (a more upturned and pointier).
