Ok, so why would anyone want to catch a piranha? Are they tasty or something?

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.

Sounds like we’re not missing much.

Sounds right up my alley I love fishy tasting fish. Every time I go to sushi I always get the mackerel

At least one source who couldn’t comment publicly stated they weren’t joking

So much so that they’re illegal to fish in parts of the Amazon because they’ve been nearly fished out of existence

The 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.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
