Snakehead gumbo? Brochette? Sauteed? In a hot pot?

You may recall the panic over the spread of the Snakehead, Channa argus, a fish from Asia that's voracious and eats everything.

But, it turns out to be highly edible itself! And, apparently, really really good. Good enough for hoity-toity high falutin' eateries frequented by the plutocrats . . .

Oh, the irony! Even better than eating bear, alligators, or sharks.

WASHINGTON - The northern snakehead is known as "Frankenfish" and the "rattlesnake with fins," and some chefs say one way to stop the predatory, fast-spreading fish is obvious -- with a fork.

With a reputation as fearsome as its name, the voracious snakehead fish has intruded throughout much of the Potomac River basin in Virginia and Maryland in the last decade, snapping up anything that gets in front of it.

Putting the torpedo-shaped snakehead on the menu is Washington-area restaurants' way of helping to control the Asian newcomer. Chefs said they have a key weapon on their side - humans' zest for eating up other species to the vanishing point.

"When man turns its attention to an animal, it's very difficult for the animal. He (the snakehead) is dangerous, but chefs are more dangerous," said David Stein, executive chef at Tony & Joe's Seafood Place in Washington.

He praised the snakehead for its dense, meaty, white flesh with a mild taste that is ideal for anything from grilling to sauteing. But given the name, snakehead ceviche might be going too far.

"The guy that orders that gets it for free," Stein said.

Sounds delicious! those things are pure muscle...

I knew somebody who had a pet giant snakehead. It was a beautiful fish but would kill anything that entered the tank. I remember the owner told me it ate a 300 dollar silver arowana, i think that was the end of that snakehead lol.

Reminds me of the lion fish invading the reefs in Fl and the Bahamas, turns out they taste amazing. We eat them all the time. A nice triple prong shaft on your spear, a bucket of dead lion fish and your ready for a great meal.

I would be wary of eating the lionfish. Seems they have a high concentration of the ciguaterra bacteria.
