I'm sure if you'll stick to Riga sprats or spicy Tallinn sprats, you'll be fine - no catfish teeth to scare you, I promise!!

That's enough to take a bite out of anyone's appetite!

I would have to defend Riga Sprats as well. I'm a half Lat myself and eating those sprats brings me back to time I spend with my family in Latvia... Ditto on Tallin Sprats. But Russian Catfish... you shouldn't even be talking about the Baltic states and mention Russia, considering their history. (I guess that would depend on who's side you're on. My grandmother would spit on you for such a comparison.)

This is a fake....
The can says "herring"

Well, either that is some type of fake or a fish other than a catfish. At least a catfish as I am aware of as I have caught many different varieties (none in Russia though!) and none of them have teeth that would puncture your skin, much less to that extent.

That set of teeth looks like a doctored up lower jaw from a housecat or ferret. No catfish in the world has teeth like those. Even the small sharks that occasionally get mistaken for catfish don't have that kind of teeth.

Real catfish teeth are very small and grow in multiple rows. If you run your finger over either jaw of a catfish you will feel the teeth. They feel like a very fine rasp. I was once bitten by a 53 pound catfish and all I could feel besides pressure on my arm were all those tiny teeth trying to pull me into that mouth. I was not hurt by the experience.

In Soviet Russia, canned catfish eats YOU!

What BS... for starters, the label on the can says "Herring". Photoshop is a lovely software, but please, get serious...
