Would you eat carp schnitzel, or perhaps a carp burger is more to your taste?
The invasive species has wreaked havoc on waterways across the Murray- Darling basin for decades.

While it can be a disappointing catch for amateur anglers, who toss it back on the riverbank, one of Australia's top chefs sees it as an opportunity.

Chef Mark Best said he served up a Thai-inspired carp dish at a fine dining feast in the Riverland during a visit to his home state of South Australia.

"It was quite a big statement to go to graziers and farmers and orchardists, who don't eat much seafood at all, and put a plate of carp in front of them as the first dish," Mr Best said.

"If I hadn't told anyone that it was actually carp, they wouldn't have had any idea."

Mr Best said he was pleased to see plates wiped clean.

"Usually, they're either knocking the fish on the head and throwing them on the bank or putting them in yabby traps or turning them into fertiliser," he said.

"I wanted to show that there's this valuable opportunity right on their doorstep. And they absolutely loved that."
