[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Not all chubs are created equal. Some are a subfamily of carp while others are a subfamily of salmon. Some of the larger varieties are highly sought after when smoked - as in the Lake Michigan Chub which supports a very active commercial operation in the Great Lakes region.
Smoked Lake Michigan chub is one of the best eating smoked fish I've ever had. Haven't tried any of the Utah chubs smoked, but wouldn't hesitate to try it if given the opportunity. I've never caught one in Utah so haven't had the opportunity as of yet.
I've eaten pickled sucker and it was delicious. I haven't eaten carp, but in Germany, streams are leased exclusively for carp fishing and the fish are all consumed. And I've been told that carp is a mainstay food in Asia.
Using the term 'trash' for any fish species is very subjective. It is only so for that individual that uses it. One persons trash could very easily be another persons treasure.[/#][/font]
