Carp has too many bones to be enjoyably eaten. But since you mentioned the
Great Lakes, I'm surprised you didn't say anything about lamprey. From
Wikipedia:

"Lampreys have long been used as food for humans. They were highly
appreciated by ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, they were widely
eaten by the upper classes throughout Europe, especially during fasting
periods, since their taste is much meatier than that of most true fish. King
Henry I of England is said to have died from eating "a surfeit of lampreys".
On 4 March 1953, the Queen of the United Kingdom's coronation pie was made
by the Royal Air Force using lampreys. Especially in southwestern Europe
(Portugal, Spain, and France), larger lampreys are still a highly prized
delicacy."
