IOL : Horror 'walking razor fish' has healing hand

In Singapore, they like the Dreaded Chinese Snakehead Walking Fish. They eat it, in soup or stir-fried. They wear protective gear when harvesting it, though. And they say it can only wriggle around on the ground during the rainy season.

He said it fights back when being harvested. If the fish strikes a person on the face or chest, it could cause some bleeding but the wound is not likely to be serious, he added.

"It doesn't attack humans unless it's hungry and you fall into the pond," Koh was quoted as saying.

You know, just like flounder.
