yeah you could eat it probably taste like bluegill

matter of fact i get closer and closer to eating mine everytime he bites me while im doing water changes! :angry:

yes you can eat oscars, they are a food fish in some parts of the world

Paul will fill you in on the details. He got into keeping oscars as a food source, although he keeps them as pets now

Sure. Your "Dad."


Riiiiight.

I would think they would taste like tilapia or something. I'm never gonna know.

Paul used to eat them and I am sure he can give you a good recipe.

yes you can.... and it taste like tilapia....
how would like it be done?????

yes...Nicki and delboybully is right... i started this hobby
as part of my backyard food production program... i love oscar
because they grow fast....and very meaty.... same is true with
the pangasius.....

but i stop grilling them now.... the last one i took was a big tilapia
who became mean to all other fish.... it lasted with two bottles of
beer...
