Here is the link to the Today Show video for those yet to see it.
For those visiting The Pickled Tongue blog for the topic of Asian carp, please click here to learn the evolution of my involvement with this invasive species. At present, I am actively researching means to produce the fish on a scale that could have an impact on the problem, so stay tuned for that.
In addition to this unique undertaking, earlier this year I initiated a movement to bring food trucks onto the streets of Chicago. As a matter of fact, the first proposal is going in front of the City Council on June 9th. We need all the public support we can get, so please post your thoughts on this bulletin board. And for those here in Chicago, let your alderman know how you feel about the most prohibitive restriction on the great Chicago food scene since the infamous foie gras ban.
To say the VERY least, right now is a very exciting time in my career. And probably the best way for you to keep abreast on both of these topics - and the rest of my happenings in this quickly changing world – is to follow me on my Twitter account.

Thanks for visiting The Pickled Tongue, thanks to the the Today Show, and most importantly, an enormous thank you to all those past and present who put themselves in harms way to protect our way of life. Although often lost amidst the festivities, please take time out this Memorial Day to remember and pay gratitude to those heroes and families that have paid for our freedom with the ultimate sacrifice.
I am a fisheries biologist in Louisiana and work with Asian carp studying their
movement in the Atachafalaya river. I would like your opinion on the idea of Asian carp caviar. Do you think it has possibilities? Do you know of anyone who could bring a product such as this to market? There could be funding assistance for such an endeavor. Please let me know what you think.Thanks for playing such an important role in controlling the spread of this non-native fish in our waterways. Martin
Martin,
That sounds absolutely nuts, but I’m a tad left of center and would certainly try it if you bring it to market!
