Chinese Food - warning - not for the squeamish

I hate to spoil the fun, but that's not any kind of catfish. . .that's a whale shark and they are filter feeders, so unless the drowned people came in very tiny little pieces, this guy wouldn't have eaten them. . ..
Chinese food remains safe for the masses to consume!!! Yay!

I'm glad someone else noticed it was a whale shark. And it's a baby one at that

Even though whale sharks grow to something like 60 feet and have huge mouths, their throat is actually very narrow. I saw a special on Tv where the Atlanta(?) aquarium had a few in their display and they had to feed them with a little bitty bucket at the end of a pole.

Thanks for the info guys. That thing looks spotty like the mud catfish we have where I grew up...never EVER saw one nearly that big...and while they do eat all manner of things humans aren't on the menu.
