Cuisine & Edibility

Cornuda gigante

Critically Endangered — consumption strongly discouraged. Fins are historically traded but the species faces severe population decline; eating this fish is ecologically irresponsible.

Lucio

Lean white flesh with a mild, slightly earthy flavor; notable for Y-shaped pin bones that require careful filleting. Excellent in fish cakes, fried, or baked with herbs.

Species Overview

Cornuda gigante

The great hammerhead is the largest of the nine hammerhead shark species. Its distinctive cephalofoil (hammer-shaped head) houses an array of electroreceptors that allow it to detect stingrays buried beneath the sand.

Lucio

The northern pike is an apex predator of freshwater lakes and rivers across the Northern Hemisphere. With its elongated body, duck-bill snout, and razor-sharp teeth, it ambushes prey with explosive bursts of speed.
