Wisconsin Smoked Carp Festival Draws Big Crowd

Wisconsin Smoked Carp Festival Draws Big Crowd

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WXOW) – The third annual Wisconsin Smoked Carp Festival drew a big crowd to Riverside Park in La Crosse Saturday.

The festival celebrates the lowly carp, which is considered a nuisance by some but a delicious delicacy by others.

"It's definitely an acquired taste. But once you get it, you really get it," said festival attendee Jeremy Snopek.

Carp are abundant in the Midwest and many people say they are at their best smoked.

"I think they're a unique fish. I don't think you can find them anywhere else, smoked or otherwise," said attendee Ryan Gauger.

Attendees could buy smoked carp tacos, carp bratwurst and even smoked carp ice cream from local vendors. There was also live music and activities for kids.

Organizers say the festival is designed to show off the versatility of this often maligned fish.

"People sometimes have a misconception about carp that they are this muddy, bottom feeder fish. But when it's smoked correctly, it's a really delicate, wonderful flavor," said organizer Jami Freeberg.

Scientists study whether heifer poop can reduce greenhouse gases

Scientists study whether heifer poop can reduce greenhouse gases In an effort to find ways to reduce greenhouse gases, some scientists are studying whether heifer poop can be used as a fuel source. A heifer is a female cow that has not yet had a calf. Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. This warming effect can cause problems like climate change and global warming. Some of the gases that make up greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Carbon dioxide is the most common and longest lasting of these gases. Humans create carbon dioxide when they burn fossil fuels like coal and oil. Methane is created when animals digest food. It is also created when people break down trash in landfills. Nitrous oxide is made when fertilizers are used on crops or when manure from animals is spread on fields. Scientists think that using heifer poop as a fuel source could help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. One wa...
