In fact, when I saw this, I thought it was very normal, because in the eyes of the Chinese, as long as it is alive, as long as it is an animal, it can be eaten, and nothing can leave China alive.

For example, crayfish first entered China as an invasive alien species, but now everyone who is eaten wants to flee China.

There are also many invasive alien species like this, and few of them are eaten by everyone, and they have even begun to be artificially bred.

So whenever something like lobsters or crabs appears in abundance abroad, and the locals have nothing to do, everyone says they should send a few Chinese people over to eat.

The same is true for the crocodile gar. When everyone found out that these two strange fish were caught, they immediately wanted to boil oil in the pot, because everyone felt that they were fish anyway, so why couldn't they be eaten?

Although it is different from a crocodile, it is still similar.

Since crocodiles can eat it, then such things must also be edible.

In fact, this thing is indeed edible, but not many people will choose to eat it. In fact, everyone who has tried it before has given up.

Why do people who try this food give up?

Mainly because it really doesn't taste good.

As long as it is just a little bit unpalatable, Chinese people may want to try it, but it is really unpalatable and poisonous. In fact, there are really many poisonous creatures in China, such as various species in Yunnan.

Mushrooms are poisonous, but people in Yunnan happily eat them every year, even if they go to the hospital.

Why do people in Yunnan eat those mushrooms even when they go to the hospital?

It's because those mushrooms are really delicious and fresh.

But the alligator gar is different. It is so unpalatable that no one can eat it, so even if they heat up the oil in a pan, not many people want to eat it.
