Jon: Hey, Garfield, did you ever wonder why they always have commercial at the good parts? I wonder if fish have taste buds. Garfield: I hate it when Jon fishes. His mouth starts wandering. Jon: Where do the ripples in the water go? If people had fur all over their bodies, would they have to wear clothes? Why do light bulbs burn out? Am I boring you, Garfield?
Fish have tastebuds, just like humans. Fish tastebuds have the ability to distinguish the difference between sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Tastebuds are inside the fish’s mouth, on its tongue and on the outside of the body including fins. Fish that live on the bottom of the water, such as catfish, have tentacles coming off the head called barbels. Barbels also have tastebuds.
