Snakehead is very tasty. They've been an environmental catastrophe down thisaway but there are some areas, like the Loxahatchie Canal, which have become angler's paradise because snakeheads hit like Tyson, put up a vicious fight, and grill up yummy.
Ackcherley, lionfish - another environmental catastrophe - is also yummy; Whole Foods sells lionfish dumplings and fillets.
Interessin' factoid: both of these invasives started life as pet shop items. Maybe aquarium irresponsibility holds the key to feeding the masses. Maybe Biafra wouldn't have happened if it'd had more pet shops.
Other problems that more pet shops could help: posh London school girls who like to slum it a bit.
My dad saw snakehead on a menu not that long ago and said, "Guess they finally found some use for those things."
