Two cases of ciguatera fish poisoning, in a husband and wife, were reported to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control on August 10, 2004; the cases were associated with a barracuda caught approximately 60 miles southeast of Charleston, South Carolina, and are the first known cases caused by fish caught off South Carolina. Caribbean ciguatoxin was identified by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry in a remaining portion of the barracuda fillet.
I heard the poor people on the Caribbean islands will catch them and bring them home. They gut them and hang em or lay them on a board and wait to see if flys land on em. If the flys won’t eat it they toss it in the trash if the flys do land on it, they eat it… Nah I ain’t eatin any of that!

It wasn’t meant to be. Sorry if it was taken wrong. Just wondering why someone would gig 5 cudas. I wouldn’t put one in a cooler with a flounder. If somebody is going to eat them it’s OK with me.

Understood. Sorry, just kind of touchy when it comes to the subject of whether someone can harvest a legal fish. I guess my patience ran out a long time ago with eco-greenies on the beach trying to make me feel guilty for taking a big shark. Don’t believe in wasting fish, but nobody is going to make me feel guilty about harvesting legal fish. American freedom is almost a thing of the past.
Agree completely. Please don’t mistake me for an eco-greenie, cause I ain’t one [:0] There are a lot of fish bones in my closets, trust me . Just wondering why somebody would want them.

Our Dive Master in Jamaica said locals would put a piece on an ant bed…if the ants avoided it, it was bad fish. If they ate it…he said he never took that chance and avoided eating baracuda.
