As for the carp idea, it is highly regarded in Europe as a sport fish and as table fair. Most things are tasty if prepared well, but I don't think I want to put in the effort to try with carp. Plus, most of the carp in So Cal come from polluted places. Maybe one out of Silverwood would taste all right...
