I really want to see Asian Carp for sale in the U.S. as surimi/imitation crab/Japanese fish paste. All the Asian Carp going overseas is ground up into fish paste/surimi, and sold as a cheap protein source (surimi in Japan is like the equivalent of hotdogs in the U.S.). I feel like it would do well here in the U.S. if packaged well and marketed to people as a quick and easy snack full of protein and Omega-3.

The Seafood Snackers packs are sold at Walmart for $1 a pack. I usually have a pack in my lunch every day. Tastes great! Pollock is the primary fish in the Seafood Snackers, simply replace the pollock with Asian Carp and I think it would be a real hit! It would also be easy to hand out at events raising awareness about Asian Carp, like Asian Carp Fest coming up in June!
