I catch a bunch of drum on KY pulling cranks and don't have any desire to eat one. I'll bet if folks were fed the silver carp (or freshwater drum) without knowing it was carp, they would like it and ask for more. I felt the same way about rattlesnake until I cooked some. My family loves it. That doesn't mean I'm going to start lifting rocks to find one.
