Yes, the fruits of the fishbone cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger) are indeed edible! These small, often reddish-purple fruits are quite succulent and can have a subtly sweet, sometimes slightly tangy flavor, reminiscent of dragon fruit, to which it is related. They are generally consumed fresh and can be a delightful, exotic treat for those who cultivate this unique epiphytic cactus.
