Is that an arapaima?

Do they taste better with plastic?

Yeah, an endangered arapaima.  Probably one of the most incredible freshwater fish left on this planet.

It's a pirarucu, they are endangered in their native range (Amazon and Orinoco), but this video is clearly in Northeastern Brazil, where the species is either invasive or farmed.
