are asian carp edible?

national geographis reports that the asian carp have invaded the illinois river and are eating up too much alergy. i wanted to know if the the fish were edible and suggest eating them as a solution. are they tasty? are they too bony? do they have any valuable oils or eggs?

Yes, they are bony but are sold to Asian markets. If you know how to clean and prepare them right, I hear they are alright.
