Today on a delivery from Buffalo to Albert Lea in Minnesota, I stopped at a rest area just south of Owatonna on I35. I read the historical marker about the history of canneries in the area. Look at the bottom of the sign and ask yourself WHY? Canned Carp? Was this experimental or was there a market for it?
