Tho I must admit that I would never get that close to the surface with my bare hands while doing this.
minus-squareFlying SquidlinkfedilinkEnglish57•8 months agoOk, so why would anyone want to catch a piranha? Are they tasty or something?
minus-square@thesporkeffect@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish53•8 months agoThey look like they are 90% gristle and hatred.
minus-square@deegeese@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglish57•8 months agoReading more, everything I see describes them as bony, salty and very fishy tasting, best served smoked or grilled to mask the flavor. Sounds like we’re not missing much.

minus-square@SolOrion@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish7•8 months agoThat’s interesting, I really like the fishy taste. If it’s overpowering it can be unpleasant, but in reasonably amounts it’s tasty.

minus-square@ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish2•8 months agoBecause felching is something…else… over here.

minus-square@ShinkanTrain@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish46•8 months agoThey taste like fish. I’m not joking.
minus-square@Nurse_Robot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish14•8 months agoAt least one source who couldn’t comment publicly stated they weren’t joking

minus-squareLvxferre [he/him]linkfedilinkEnglish14•8 months agoThe one that I tasted was the red piranha, the same as in the video. The taste is… okay, not delectable but not awful; it’s simply a bit too strong. It goes great on soups/stews though.

Fish are food, not friends
No Bruce, for the last time

They look like they are 90% gristle and hatred.
The Ann Coulter of fishes.
Wikipedia claims they’re quite popular.
Reading more, everything I see describes them as bony, salty and very fishy tasting, best served smoked or grilled to mask the flavor.
