Sinopse

A fish by any other name will still taste just as good, as Lula Luu of Fin Gourmet in Paducah, Kentucky found out when she and her business partner John began a social enterprise fishing operation that sells Asian Carp. An invasive species with no natural predators - except for humans - Asian Carp have become a major concern for some North American freshwater ecosystems. Where many saw a destructive enemy, Lula and John saw an opportunity - to turn Asian Carp into a sustainable, delicious, and sought-after Kentucky Proud product. Their operation, Fin Gourmet, also relies on Second Chance employees - victims of domestic violence and former addicts - making their business beneficial to all involved from source to plate. Boneless Asian Carp and other Fin Gourmet products are available in restaurants and grocers from coast to coast. For more information on Fin Gourmet, visit http://fingourmetfoods.com/.
