They have a row of small "sand-paper" like teeth on both the top and bottom jaws. Each row consists of hundreds of teeth and these predominantly soft and are used to grip the prey; they slope inwards toward the back of the mouth. In front of the throat cavity are two crushing plates, which the cats use to squash its prey prior to swallowing. They also have a number of short spikes on the edge of the gills. These are used to manipulate their pray prior to swallowing. Although this description might sound horrible it is quite safe to put your hand (and arm) into a catfish's mouth as the teeth are soft and only occasionally scratch.
The sharks (all types of sharks) have sharp teeth to maim and catch their prey. They don't always chew their catch. Many times they will swallow human limbs whole and fish too. The sharp teeth are also used for defense against an enemy.
It really depends on the type of fish. Some fish have extremely sharp teeth while others do not have teeth at all.

Sharp teeth
Fish isn't a cat, end of.
A wild cat compared to a domestic cat has the sharpest teeth. For example a tiger will have sharper teeth because of hunting in the wild for survival.
my son caught 2 fish in the river near mt Crosby which is not far from Brisbane. The water is tidal and the fish was about 2 foot long, has no teeth, a tail like a cat fish, two fins toward the tail and two fins on the under belly and is brown in colour. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it may be. Regards Bronnie
Many fish do have teeth.
A cat could have small front teeth due to still having its baby teeth. Cats lose teeth and regrown their adult teeth just like humans.
