Do fish like hotdogs? This is a question that has long been debated by scientists and everyday people alike.

Some people say that, because of the way a hotdog is constructed, it cannot be enjoyed by fish. Others believe that, given the opportunity, fish would enjoy a good hotdog just as much as any other human being.

One thing that is known for sure, however, is that fish do like to eat bread or even fake bread. In fact, many fishermen have been known to use stale bread as bait when fishing for certain species of fish.
