This fluffy menace is not the friendly critter it appears to be. Nutria devour wetland plants and ruin habitat for fish, birds, and native wildlife. But nutria also happen to be…delicious? That’s right, nutria gumbo is on the menu. Helping wetlands has never tasted better.

Silver carp jump 10 feet into the air, wreck habitats, and crowd out native fish. But there’s one place they belong: your dinner plate. Grilled, blackened, or crispy, carp is surprisingly tasty. Carpe the fish sticks.

Oh carp, we're going to need a bigger boat! Silver carp are easily disturbed and will jump up to 10 feet in the air. This can happen in response to boat motors or when the carp unexpectedly find themselves in a tight place. 📷 Ryan Hagerty/USFWS
