Yea I know people eat carp, I just didn't realize they are shipped alive, and then taken care of later. Seems like it would be easier and probably cheaper to kill them here. Freeze them and then transport.
I always figured the meat was chopped up for kitty litter or something else with the carp from around here.
Since these fish will be consumed by humans. Perhaps they have to watch/test them in a special tank for a period of time and possibly give them some vitamins or something.
Yea it does make me wonder now when I order fish at a resturaunt what I'm eating and where it came from. For some reason I kinda pictured fish coming out of a fish farm where they were raised their whole life.
