Parrotfishes
are a group of fishes that traditionally had been considered a family (Scaridae), but now often are considered a subfamily (Scarinae) of the wrasses.  They are found in relatively shallow tropical and subtropical oceans throughout the world, but with the largest species richness in the Indo-Pacific. The approximately 90 species are found in coral reefs, rocky coasts and seagrass beds, and play a significant role in bioerosion.

We do not support sport fishing, illegal taking of sharks, we don't even eat in restaurants that serve Shark Fin soup due to the cruel and wasteful nature of shark finning.  We do not catch sharks ourselves.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: There is a fee we are required to pay U.S. Fish & Wildlife to inspect the package going outside the United States.  I may be able to discount this off for you depending on the size of jaw, though I still have to pay the fee.  Or combine numerous jaws and I can discount it off.  Yes, I wish I did not have this fee requirement.  But it is the law.
