Rabbi Presworsky's book describing the various kosher/non-kosher creatures seen here says that piranha and barracuda are kosher fish based on their scales.

Are there any earlier poskim who have confirmed piranha and/or barracuda are kosher fish?

    It is unclear why you ask that, is there any specific problem with them that make them stand out of the rule of scales?

  • Why do you think they might not be kosher? They have fins and easily-removable scales. I don't see a problem with them.

  • I believe CrC published a thorough article listing every kosher fish around. See if you can locate it, and B"N, I'll see if I can.

    You have to act fast or they'll eat you first.

  • Here (Rationalist Judaism) is a mention that says piranha is OK. I'm sure he would give you his sources if you asked.

Although there doesn't seem to be much written online about the kashrus of piranha, Chabad and the Vaad HaKashrus of Ottowa both say baraccuda are kosher. The "Traveling Rabbi" appears to say some piranha are kosher and others aren't.
