what pet fish are also fish that can be eaten for human consumption?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hmmm if you are raising them in a tank I'd be careful about what chemicals you put into the water. They could build up in the flesh of the fish over time like mercury does. I'd be real reluctant to eat something thats been in a tank for a few years. Pond raised probably wouldnt have a problem.

I eat my adult discus. I was curious if they tasted as good as they look and to my surprise the best fish sandwiches i ever made. a delicacy in my opinion. Here some of the discus strains i ate that were very good to my tastebuds. some i netted the same day i ate them. I prefer albino strains . they should be in the fish market i dont know why they arnt. very easy to gut and clean. i may try a spring roll with them and eat them raw but im not sure how to prep that. anyone know?

ill try anything, but those tetras are hard to fillet :naughty:
and it takes a few to make a meal.
 
All our ornamental pet fish are a source of food in their native lands, except maybe hybrids and carp type fish.
