those invasive river carp from China are worse. Tilapia is bad but the flavor is mild at least. Carp tastes terrible (hence the strong sauces they serve it in) and is full of heavy metals, pesticides, and toxins from living in a country where 80% of the water is full of carcinogenic poison.

According to the late Bourdain, tilapia is a "junk" fish that's only brought to market when there's a demand for fish that supply can't match. It's also incredibly high in saturated fat.

Bourdain also said we have to have so much interracial sex that we erase the concept of race and we're all "cappuccino" people so that there's no racism.

I've had good tilapia so it's good. Fat tissue in tilapia is visibly concentrated underneath the skin so you can easily trim it off.

This ain't the '70s anymore gramps. Most US waterways are clean, so the fish caught there are good to eat (though admittedly rivers flowing next to agroindustrial farmland are still off limits).
And the only truly bad tasting carp are either farmed (their flesh smells like cheap dog food due to the feed pellets), or detritivore species (a.k.a. muck eaters). Filter feeders like bighead and silver carp are neutral tasting, and the asp (predatory carp) is fairly neutral as well.

You need a fishing license for starters. There are usually minimum length laws and endangered species that you have to throw back if you catch them. Some states don't allow certain baits. Sometimes those baits are only prohibited in freshwater. Salmon usually have special rules. For instance, most places won't let you fish them while they are traveling upriver to breed. Sometimes there are bays or estuaries that you can't fish for salmon in at all. I know thats a thing in Alaska. Call up your states fish and game or check their website.

>I didn't say they did
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_carp_in_North_America
>In the 1970s, Asian fish farmers in mostly southern states began importing Asian carp from China to help clean their commercial ponds.[23][24] The rise in the populations of bighead and silver carp has been dramatic where they are established in the Mississippi River basin.[25] Although many sources cite the record floods of the 1990s as the means by which Asian carp escaped aquaculture ponds into the Mississippi River,[26] this is apocryphal. There is at least one known escape of bighead carp from aquaculture ponds in 1995, but bighead and silver carp were established in the Mississippi River basin prior to 1990.[27][28] Grass carp have been reproducing in the Mississippi River since the 1970s.[29]
