Yes considered good eating in asia,one of the reasons its here some asians wanted to be able to eat them here so imported,more or less same thing with snakeheads.
While the snakehead gave the potomic a fighting fish,it is invasive,they however dont attempt to commit hari kari on your boat or you merely because you motor by.
And from what I recall an Illinois plant does make cat food out of them.
As for eating ohio river fish,lol fish advisories up the yin yang.Used to fish the ohio a lot but moved so could eat fish.Ohio river valley should be renamed chemical alley.
