^ I see creatures that resemble that at Metro all the time :heckno:

god damn...

They survive winter under the ice of northern lakes; some have even recovered from being frozen! The Northern Snakehead, in particular, thrives on conditions that are similar to many Canadian waters. It is a voracious predator, and it grows rapidly to an adult length of 1.5 metres or more.

I wish laws preventing the importation of live and potentially invasive species were more strict and comprehensive. Snakeheads have decimated ecosystems in the United States and given the opportunity may do the same in Canada, they're illegal in Ontario for that very reason. It takes only one idiot with a bit of cash to purchase and release enough Snakeheads for them to establish a presence in British Columbia, which would then potentially cost hundreds of millions or more to eradicate.

^ Agreed. There are plently of types of fish you can eat.

If you REALLY want to eat this fish, then you can buy it, but already dead. It doesn't come into the country alive.

It's completely ridiculous that this loophole exists

I have never seen or heard of this fish. What's the chinese name if it's a dish?

They are known as Life fish.. because they are rather tough to kill even on the cutting board.

It is not a problem to the Federal Gov, since they have cut so deep at DFO etc.. there will be no one to monitor those fish, they can say it is not a problem.

Ohhhhhhh. I always hear them being sashimi in HK restaurants. Haven't tried it though.

They are fresh water fish, and a lot of times have parasites since they live fresh waters.. you don't want to have them as sashimi, they would have a strong taste of dirt.

i thought this was "seen" in cantonese... the roundish fish with a lot of bones

.. Some dickhead put one of these in our lagoon at Central Park..

Now if confirmed ALL the fish (Koi, turtles, native fish) will have to die because of 1 fucktard. This kind of shit pisses me off. Let's tie up the asshole and feed him to the Snakeheads. =|

That's just the lowly eel.

this is def not "seen" LOL, ^what he said, "seen" is eel

Just do what Springfield did with their pidgeon problem, let the Bolivian Tree Lizard take of it, then when the lizard population goes out of control, throw in the Chinese needle snakes. Of course, those have to be taken care of with snake-eating gorillas, then when wintertime rolls around, the gorillas will freeze to death.

^ but then what happens when

they felt bad for the mother duck and yet, they did nothing to try and stop the fish from taking a duckling :facepalm:

lol...

Circle of life bro, circle of life...

hmmmm... I googled 活魚 sashimi and this picture doesn't resemble anywhere near OP's picture of the snakefish.

+1. That fish reminded me of an ex-gf too. Man eater. :heckno:

Tell the asian population that it does wonders for their skin and helps longevity.....:ilied:

thats enough to make any species exinct in a matter of months

My Staffy will wipe out the snakeheads. She jumped in after the ducks yesterday at Central park.
