Chef Jimmy Wades of the Heaven City Restaurant in Mukwonago said the Asian carp menu for "invasivores" -- those who enjoy helping the environment by dining on invasive species -- will hit the restaurant in February as part of his Tapas Tuesday series, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Tuesday.

However, some conservationists warned creating demand for Asian carp could increase the threat to the Great Lakes and other bodies of water by slowing the eradication of the species from U.S. lakes. "One of the great things about North Americans is when they're dealt lemons, they make lemonade," said Marc Gaden, spokesman for the Great Lakes Fishery Commission. "But very often, they forget that they weren't drinking lemonade in the first place, and don't even like it."
