OK, Carp, according to a friend of mine who works at Rodbaston Aquaculture centre.
"Carp are a very easy fish to farm, they put on flesh very quickly and can grow to saleable weight in no-time if fed on a high protien diet. They can also live and thrive in conditions that many fish species find intolerable. They were bred in the middle ages for food, but you have to remember that people were not as fussy about what they ate in those days.
Most, well, nearly all the carp we breed is for the angling market and a few for the ornamental fish market, there are relatively few bred for the table in this country, there is very little flavour in carp, and what there is is not particularly nice, it is also a fish that is very difficult to fillet. These days, farmed salmon is probably cheaper and certainly more edible."
So there you go try it and see.
No matter what, it can't be as bad as snails can it? |
