Cuisine & Edibility

Great Hammerhead Shark

Oscar

Not consumed — popular ornamental cichlid kept for its bold patterning and personality; occasionally eaten in parts of South America but primarily an aquarium species.

Species Overview

Great Hammerhead Shark

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.

Oscar

The oscar is a large, intelligent cichlid native to the Amazon basin. Known for its dog-like personality, it can recognize its owner and may beg for food. Oscars rearrange their tank decor and require spacious aquariums with robust filtration.
