Snakehead is reportedly excellent eating. And that is apparently why some idiot originally released them into the Potomac River Basin.
The Washington Post even did a taste test some years back:
Snakehead taste test — can a fish this ugly really taste that good?

They’re in the Delaware River basin as well and I came across a sign for a Snakehead catching contest one day at the Tinicum NWR in Philly since they’re in the pond and creek there. Have a photo of one around somewhere as well.
