MYFOXNY.COM/AP -

The fish is not for eating. That's what Newark officials are saying to residents about the fish that have washed onto the streets following recent flooding.

The fish were caught or found in flooded sewers, rivers, streams, and ponds after heavy rains doused the city.

The alert was issued Monday by the city's Health and Community Wellness Department.

Officials urged people to not trap, catch or eat any fish caught on the streets because it's unclear how "exposure to elements outside of their natural domains will affect them."

There are several ponds and lakes in the region where fishing is permitting.

walking catfish

Not too many in central FL where I am, but they've been trouble in the southern part of the state since back when I lived there in the 80s.

Authorities also cautioned Newark residents to avoid placing their heads directly under any anvils randomly falling from the sky.

Someone would actually eat them?

Well, if you live in this sewer of a place, it might not seem so strange?

If those damned Republicans didn’t hate poor people so much, Newark residents would already have fish stamps and thus wouldn’t be forced to eat road catch.

Well it is NJ and Newark at that; such warnings are necessary for that entire population, in addition they should have warned don’t eat those floating around who swim the fishes.

And if they knew what crabs or pigs ate, they would never eat crab or pork again,

Touring a slaughter house can make one consider becoming a vegetarian.

Some recent immigrants likely consider free fish in the streets part of the American dream.

Somebody did. And he gave this advice and some stone tablets to a guy on a mountaintop, 5000 years ago.

I’m a vegetarian and only eat vegetables, mostly corn which has been re-processed into cows, pigs, chickens and farm raised Mississippi catfish.

To get on a bus and go meet the girl he'd been yanking around on Facebook.

Don’t eat fish off the street — and it would probably also be a good idea to avoid ordering fish dishes at the local Chinese restaurants for a couple of weeks.

My first thought was the title referred to street vendors.

“Fresh Fish!”

Fish in the street?

Does this mean the EPA will declare NYC streets to be “part of the navigable waters of the US”?
