Why Do We Never Eat Other Ocean Fish ?

The video explains the real reason why humans consume fewer than 20 fish species out of the more than 33,000 in the ocean. The cause is not about taste, but stems from three main factors:

Invisible toxins: Many reef fish or large predatory fish accumulate toxins (such as Ciguatera or mercury) through the food chain. These toxins cannot be detected by taste or eliminated by cooking, making them dangerous to eat.

Biological incompatibility: Certain species (like the Escolar) contain types of fats that the human digestive system lacks the enzymes to break down, causing immediate and severe gastrointestinal issues.

Deep-sea physiology: Most fish living in the deep sea have a gelatinous body structure adapted to withstand extreme pressure. When hauled up to the surface, the sudden drop in pressure causes their bodies to break down and turn to mush like "wet tissue paper," making them completely inedible.
