Catfish has become a monster in the Indus River. Why don’t local people dare to eat it?

Because of its in-depth research on food, China is known as the country with the best and most delicious food. Maybe Chinese people don’t know the origins of animals and plants, but they must be familiar with how to eat them. Many organisms are overrun in British and American countries, and have even caused a serious biological invasion crisis, but when they come to China, they become perfect feasts on the dining table. But in India, there is such a creature. Not only the locals will stay away from them, but the Chinese will not dare to say anything when they see it. Let’s take a look. Catfish are rampant in India. Why are the locals so hungry and unwilling to eat them? Foodie: Just look at it and you’ll be full!

India is located in Southeast Asia and is a relatively backward developing country. The local people mainly rely on agricultural production, and most people are below the subsistence line. Because of the lack of economic development, nearly hundreds of thousands of Indian people die every year due to malnutrition. But even in such a state of poverty, the locals would rather starve to death than eat catfish in the river. Catfish is an inescapable nightmare for Indians.

Situation

Catfish are overrun in India. A wide river is densely packed with these fish. When traveling to India, some tourists will throw the bread in their hands into the river to feed them. But a horrifying scene happened. The catfish jumped out of the water and pounced on the tourists one by one. They were numerous and ferocious. If you have trypophobia, this kind of picture will definitely leave an indelible impression on you. There are so many catfish, why don’t the locals eat them? Many tourists come here and can't help but feel very confused when they see such plump fish and then look at the skinny Indians.

The local people’s feelings

First of all, catfish is a very ferocious fish among many fish, and they will eat everything. They can eat the larvae of other fish and even the same species. Why don’t the locals in India eat them? The first reason is the environment, and the second reason is the issue of faith. As a result, local people are sometimes hungry and unwilling to eat catfish from the Ganges River.

Secondly, catfish have extremely strong survivability. No matter how harsh the living environment is, they can live happily and flood immediately. This kind of fish is invincible in the Ganges River, which has a dangerous sanitary condition, and can be called the overlord of the river for a generation. As we all know, the sanitary condition of the Ganges River has reached an unimaginable level, because a large amount of domestic garbage and industrial waste have caused various aquatic organisms to die one after another. Only this kind of catfish not only lives healthy, but garbage is also their main food source. Therefore, the local catfish appears to be extremely plump.

Local people are not afraid to eat catfish not only because they grew up eating garbage, but also because of a custom. Indian people are accustomed to water burial. Their deceased relatives and friends will throw them into the river to soak, and then slowly decompose. In our opinion, it means throwing it into the river to feed the fish. Therefore, the meat of these animals is also the favorite food of catfish. The locals know this truth very well. The focus is on religious beliefs, so they would rather starve than touch any fish in the river. This is a sad situation.

Even in this situation, we foodies still have principles. For such a terrible catfish, some foodies and netizens lamented: I am full after seeing it, let alone eat it. Even if there is a reward for eating catfish, I don’t want to eat it. Ah, this is the first time I think catfish is so scary!

After reading this, Chinese netizens who are sharpening their knives, do you still dare to eat it?
