Fish probably have better taste that you

Can fish taste?
Short answer - yes - Long answer - Probably better than you!

Fish have taste buds not just on their tongues but also on their lips and bodies! Since taste buds work by moisture, and fish are surrounded by water - hopefully all the time - taste buds can exist and do exist on their bodies and fins.


Like a snake tasting the air to find nearby food, they're able to do the same with greater precision. Sometimes wonder how a fish is able to find that pellet the same colour as your gravel, it's not their eyesight that helps them.

"Bottom-feeders like catfish are especially keen tasters, which helps them locate edible morsels in muddy, dark waters. The channel catfish has around 680,000 taste buds all over its body, including on its whisker-like barbels. That’s an especially high number of taste buds compared to most other animals (humans have about 5,000 in their mouths)." - Mental floss

Keep this in mind when you're feeding fish!
