There are however carnivorous fish that are actually considered fish by Jews, like Tuna. In fact, I am pretty sure most fish are carnivorous.


Speaking of carnivorous fish, my uncle recently got grass carp to clean up his pond automatically.

Yeah, they’re not carnivorous, but they’re fish.

Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii) and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term "shark" has also been used for extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha, such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus, as well as other Chondrichthyes such as the holocephalid eugenedontidans.

So there.

I think most fish eat plankton.

And I think fish needs to be soaked from blood too.

Sort of is ...

Placoid (pointed, tooth-shaped) scales are found in the cartilaginous fishes: sharks, rays. They are also called dermal denticles. Placoid scales are structurally homologous with vertebrate teeth ("denticle" translates to "small tooth"), having a central pulp cavity supplied with blood vessels, surrounded by a conical layer of dentine, all of which sits on top of a rectangular basal plate that rests on the dermis. The outermost layer is composed of vitrodentine, a largely inorganic enamel-like substance. Placoid scales cannot grow in size, but rather more scales are added as the fish increases in size.

For me, I usually eat my pork blood in bún bò Huế.
Also, I looked up that dish, and it sounds exactly my taste, if a bit excessive if I tried to eat it alone: "pork offal (typically lungs, kidneys, intestines, ears, heart and snout) and/or meat simmered in a rich, spicy dark gravy of pig blood, garlic, chili (most often siling haba), and vinegar."

Indeed, the only carnivorous animals to be eaten are in the water, and not even all of those may be eaten.

The Maoris drink the blood of cattle. That should explain why they can easily overpower and kill lions with their bare hands.

Ostriches aren't carnivorous, and the meat is an excellent source of lean protein, though it is quite expensive, and their survival is guaranteed by their conservation on commercial farms which rear them for their meat.

Let's not beat around the bush when it comes to crustaceans, aka sea insects...crabs, shrimp and lobsters are simply spiders, woodlice and centipedes that learned to live under de sea.

It may be an exaggerated description.I think the truth maybe the Maori can capture a great white shark with their bare hands while swimming.

I'm practically certain no one can capture a fully grown great white shark with their bare hands.

As the Jesuits say, "Get 'em young, and the possibilities are endless."

Though I will say that if any could wrestle a great white into submission, it probably would be the Maori.

No great whites near Scandinavia.

Besides, experience shows that Vikings don't wrestle sharks. We turn them into horrible food.
