Food / Is there any other Polish seafood exept herring and carp? [30]

I've never seen carp in American supermarket and most likely never will.

Live carp are easy to buy in Asian supermarkets in the US, especially on the west coast. Lots of Americans of Chinese descent buy it. The taste is better than tilapia (usually sold next to carp) and I would say better than carp sold in Poland. Different cultures have different taboos on what is edible. Poles are reluctant to eat animals related to insects (like, say, shrimp).

Sweet potatoes are not potatoes that are sweet, they are not related to potatoes at all. They are related to carrots. Pierogies with sweet potatoes will be similar to pierogies with carrots. I doubt it will work, but no harm in trying.

I have an idea mixing Polish and American cuisines: a hamburger with a "kotlet mielony" instead of beef patty. Another one is (classic in Poland, liked it a lot as a child) is sauerkraut pizza. Although one may discuss if pizza can be considered American cuisine.
