[#0000FF]Me too. Pretty tough to fillet them out of the fish. But they do concentrate in the innards and fat so a lot of it is removed during cleaning. Still, best to not eat carp or big catfish. But plenty of other good (safe) eating from that lake.
Some local families have lived off fish from Utah Lake for generations without any health problems. And all of the research I have conducted has never turned up any verifiable medical situations attributable to eating fish from Utah Lake. In fact, there are more PCBs in ocean caught salmon at the fish market than in any fish from Utah Lake. And ditto for a lot of canned tuna. But the big commercial fishing interests have better lobbies than Utah Lake sports fishermen.
Still, it remains for each person to make their own personal decisions about what they want to eat. Kinda funny though that some folks get all riled up about Utah Lake fish...while they are halfway through their second pack of cigarettes for the day.
