It is a good idea! I think one of the complaints was trying to effectively filleting the fish, but canning them with the bones was very effective. I guess most people that have tried it said its like tilapia or albacore. Though I hate the thought of those fish in the Great Lakes, at least they can be used for something useful.

I can't get the link to pull up now, but by the title I figure it's about feeding the hungry with them? The problem I see with this would be the cost. FDA would insist on regulations and inspections just like with any food and that would cost. There would be high costs in massive coolers to keep the fish before processing. Like I said, I can't see the article though. 2 cheap ways to get rid of these fish that could become profitable is cat food and fertilizer. Fertilizer would be best because regulations would be far less strict and organic gardening is on the rise more and more seeing that the produce that is getting people sick happens to be the chemically fertilized inspected by FDA produce. The FDA has let us down tremendously with their so called inspections, but you never hear of any sickness from organically grown produce sold at farmers markets. So turning the Asian carp into organic fertilizer is the best solution I see. Miracle gro is a chemical fertilzer that is sold worldwide, so why can't American made Asian carp organic fertilizer be sold worldwide. Sure would create jobs here in plants that would process the fish. Cat food is another possibility. Cheaper than catching/raising tuna and other species.
