You're doing something wrong then, as Google clearly redirects you to the word without the typo.

The "fish that was used when sharks weren't available" hint refers to the Dr. Evil hint, not the Chinese dish one.

The oceanic whitetip shark cannot be compared with the other 3. The only information about oceanic whitetip sharks attacking people were after the USS Indianapolis torpedoed on 30 July 1945. And the infomation might be false, beacuse no one can guarantee that they were indeed oceanic whitetip sharks.
