You probably have to go to a resturant in Botswana or South Africa to find Tigerfish on the menu. In fact, Tigerfishing is sometimes done with a dry fly, in Botswana. I’ve only seen Tigerfish (Alestidae, genus Hydrocynus , usually Hydrocynus goliath ) in two contexts, but I’ve seen a lot of them. One is on the plate, as dinner.

Either way, I hate these incredibly intelligent animals being "harvested" as "product." It will allow China to bid for more than 100 tonnes of ivory stockpiled in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe through culling and natural deaths. Britain was one of nine countries which supported the move.

They are not necessarily the biggest African animals, but represented those that were considered a real hunter’s worthy prey or “game” – the African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Black Rhinoceros, Leopard and king of the jungle, the Lion (which of course doesn’t inhabit jungle but savanna!).
