I have never seen carp sold here as food either.
I've seen them at the local Chinese market here in Boston
Americans as a whole would see it below themselves to partake of carp or catfish. It's psychological. These fish are viewed as garbage, bottom filth suckers. Channel catfish, the most farmed food fish in the US, is not marketed as catfish. No, no, no. It'd not go anywhere. It's silver fish or white fish or some such nonsense at a restaurant.
As for the trout and the sturgeon, what excites me is not at all what they taste like. I couldn't care less but the possibility to keep them. A sturgeon like this in the US at a pet shop would probably be tagged at $100-$300 a kilo, granted they are not priced by kilo
just for easy comparison. Vitaly, take a boat on your upcoming trip across the pond and bring over a few hundred of these 
That'd be a trip to remember

ha. i wish i had the means to do that))) i am actually thinking about comming back to US in april or may. i've brought 2 stingrays 5 years ago from europe. but now, i dont have any place to dump them in once i get back. i will need to find a place for myself first (i got rid of my florida appartment)
In my area channel cat and yellow cat are eaten and sold in resturants. Blackend channel cat is pretty popular actually.
But a lot of foods are very localized. Im sure I could list some foods most have never heard of, and im sure others could list some things I have never heard of.

Catfish is a big seller here in midwest down to New Orleans and I know people who fish for carp. Most complain of it being boney but dont know how to cut and clean it to elimainate the bone issue.
I work at a sturgeon farm here in the U.S. and $10 per kilo is a great price! Those sturgeon don't look so hot though. The white lines on the head could be from damage or infection. Even ozone doesn't eat them away that bad.
Sturgeon is a unique fish. The meat is firm and very high in lipids. I think our fish are something like 18% lipid (mostly omega 3's). A lot of the time they will have marbled fat in the meat. Because of the high fat content they are best smoked or grilled. But really anything other than fried is best.
Carp are actually the most farmed (and second most farmed) fish in the world. People do eat them!
And you can buy sturgeon in the aquarium trade in most U.S. states. I saw one at 5" going for $25 at a chain pet store. If you want to order I believe 5D tropicals breeds them.

what's the most farmed fish in the world? ))) in europe there is a wild form of carp in revers. we call it Sazan in Russian/Ukrainian. they are much slander and sporty than the typical domestic carp
The top 3 farmed fish species are grass carp, silver carp, and common carp.
