I wonder what those giant fish taste like.

I've always been taught from my parents that you always want the youngest, smallest fish swimming in the tank (or if they are too small, to get two) instead of the larger ones. The flesh is more 'wat' and less likely to stick to the teeth. It also makes sense to eat younger fish because larger ones collect more chemicals and pollutants in their bodies.

you could deep fry the less tender fish

[yamchild]

you can stuff a turducken inside the stingray, and stuff the stingray inside the catfish to make firayturducken.

does anybody know why these things get so big?

[kamenriderv3]

the river creatures' tendency to abuse steroids and growth hormones.

That humanzee is scary looking. It's like half human and half chimpanzee.
