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. |
