Unagi is delicious. Too bad they're being dangerously overfished :(

It's also the first thing that comes up if you google search "toothy light bulb fish".

Hardly surprising but still a sad commentary on our world to see that only 40% of quiz takers recognize Tilapia as a common farmed fish while over 80% know that a stingray killed Steve Irwin.

What is sad about more people knowing about the famous and outlandish death of a beloved conservationist than about a fish that is not a household name, can be hard to spell, and has a reputation as not being very good?

I agree. I think the death of a good man is much more memorable than a bland fish that got trendy for twenty-five seconds.

I've always called an anglerfish, a monkfish and from the wiki it seems they can also be called frogfish and footballfish too. Why has it got so many names?

There are many types of anglerfish. While all of them have the three appendages with the foremost one being used to a lure in prey, not all of them have "bioluminescence". The "Football" fish does as does the answer that QM was looking for. However, Monkfish, do NOT have bioluminescent "esca". It should not be accepted as an answer.

You could probably also include Lantern Fish for the bioluminescent fish question. Technically, that would be a correct answer for the question. Thanks!

Why not accept "ray"? Stingrays are a type of ray.

Pure pedantry, but - the type of fish eaten for breakfast in the UK is herring.

When smoked they are called kippers when gutted or bloaters when not.

15/20. Apparently I took this quiz 8 years ago and got 7/15, which is weird because none of these questions really felt like something I didn't know or couldn't guess (at least out of the ones I got right this time lol). Maybe my quiztaking skills have just improved since then.

Also, is "U,K," a typo or is it referring to something other than the United Kingdom? I feel like the commas shouldn't be there.
