Funny how what we consider exotic pets someone else calls dinner.

To brazilians, they must be thinking we are crazy to raise fishes at home when they see them as dishes only.

I was in a PetSmart once checking out the little oscars and a Carribean guy walked by and commented that they eat those "back home".

Don't think so, they actually keep some Asian species down there

Ya its quite a culture change travelling. Some parts of the world protect cattle, some eat dogs, some protect pigs, others eat fish and reptiles we consider pets. My friend ate my TSN when it died and didnt think twice about it because he ate them in peru he said.

Yep,when my Emperor cichlid died my friend who is Puerto Rican seriously wanted to eat it.

Weird indeed. I can't imagine what aquarium raised fish would take like. Yuck

Better than anything else, we have filters and monitor what they eat ?!

I've heard before that the dechlorinator makes aquarium fish toxic to humans. I couldn't eat a fish that I had raised myself but I would definitely try some if I was visiting where they are from
