Cuisine & Edibility

Bonefish

Edible but extremely bony flesh; rarely consumed as table fare in modern sport fishing. Almost exclusively caught-and-released; the species is prized for its fighting ability, not flavor.

Corydoras

Not consumed — a small ornamental bottom-dwelling catfish beloved for its peaceful temperament and role as a substrate scavenger in community aquariums.

Species Overview

Bonefish

The bonefish is the premier shallow-water flats species, prized by fly fishers for its blistering initial run. Found in tropical shallows worldwide, it feeds by rooting in sand and marl for crustaceans and mollusks.

Corydoras

The peppered corydoras is a peaceful bottom-dwelling catfish native to South American rivers. It uses its barbels to sift through substrate for food and should be kept in groups of six or more. It can gulp atmospheric air in low-oxygen conditions.
