Copi were introduced from Asia, and have taken over the Mississippi River system. They have outcompeted native fish for resources in a large portion of their non-native range. This has far-reaching negative ecological and economic impacts. Copi is an extremely nutritious and clean fresh fish. Copi is high in Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids and rich in protein (it’s second only to wild salmon in protein). Because they are top-feeding wild fish that eat primarily plankton and vegetation, they essentially have no mercury or lead. Copi is a mildly-flavored, firm, flaky, freshwater, wild-caught fish. Its place is among the most popular white fish — more savory than tilapia, cleaner tasting than catfish, less flaky than cod. Accounting for over 90% of the fish found in the rivers, the presence of this invasive fish causes a decline in the numbers and a reduction in the size of our native fish. These fish have exceedingly high levels of Omega-3, protein, and iron. They have minimal contaminants and are heart healthy!
