Why do you say that? Their large size and ferocity?
There are convicts in all tropical waters of the US.........it is not "all over".

People down there know they are oscars, you make Floridians sound like idiots.

Yes, I make Florida people sound like idiots
.A large number of the people that fish in the everglades are older retired people that could care less about what the fishes aquarium name is. They care about if it's good table fair. Many know what they are and many don't. I'm not sure how you consider my statement and insult to Florida people. But I guess you have to troll every thread looking for some issue to start with anyone that cares enough to argue with you.
I lived in Florida for 30 years and fished the Glades extensively, I never ran across a person who thought an oscar was a "tasty sunfish"
My personal experience obviously differs from yours.
You like to throw in your "trolling whine" quite a bit. Others have a different opinion than you sir. Get used to it.

Everyone here is quite used to you chiming on on threads with nothing but negative comments. Just pull up all of your past threads and look at all of your postes. Largely nothing but petty remarks and jabs at anyone and everyone. You even went so far in one thread as to poste a singles add from some guy you were trying to smear. I guess you need to make all of those comments to make yourself feel good, who knows. I certainly do not.
If you fished the everglades for 30 years then I'm sure you have talked to and fished with many more people then myself. Some of the people that I have fished with must just be the idiots that you talk of.
After thinking about it I realized that almost everyone I have fish with down there are not originally from Florida and only spend a few months a year down there. That most likely contributes to several of them not knowing what the fish are.
I have eaten mayans, oscars, and now Texas cichlids here in Texas.
All are good food fish.
In a grocery store in Mexico called Gigante, they sell snook and arrowanas in their fresh seafood market.

not that its a cichlid, but rumor has it that they have had small colonies of RBP (yea, i mean piranha) breeding in the St. John's River in central FL

Never really thought about the Cyano's being food. I guess were ever there are fish there is someone eating them though. Haven't seen much about people eating aro's. I assume they were silvers or did you look that closely? I guess if arapiama's are considered such good food aro's would be very similiar. Sometimes it hard to look at a tank and realize that to the people were they originate they are just another fish or food source.
I remember seeing a picture of somewhere in SA of a local cooking up a bunch of fish scewered on a stick. They all looked like 7" extremely nice discus. They looked like dinner to him though.
