Check out those Paiche



The Amazon is home to a prehistoric monster fish called the “paiche”. It is the largest freshwater fish and the most expensive fish meat in the market and extremely delicious. We visited a paiche farm on the way to Monkey Island and were able to feed them some little fish snacks. Watch this video and keep in mind that these are “small” paiche being raised in a controlled environment. There used to be much bigger ones in the Amazon before they were hunted so frequently for their meat. These monsters make me think that perhaps Jonah, if he were a tiny little man, could have been in the belly of a fish.
