Anyway we ate them, and all seem fine today!Barbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356146279347458771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-69654319750850201532010-07-06T01:41:19.594+10:002010-07-06T01:41:19.594+10:00On the American East Coast we often catch the drab...On the American East Coast we often catch the drab gray version of the trigger fish. It's an excellent food fish. Our sub-species has to be cleaned "inside out"...splitting the bottom of the carcass and running your knife between the skin and the flesh... if you try to fillet it the regular way it can dull even a good knife.<br /><br />A friend from Florida will not eat the Queen Trigger fish (a more flashy version here in the Colonies)or reef grouper because he says they can make you sick. Something to do with the small crustaceans they eat around reefs.iirc. <br /><br />Maybe it's what _their_ prey eats and it get's passed along.<br /><br />Anyway, you might have versions that are good and some that are bad because of that diet thing. Maybe it's like foraging for mushrooms. Since most people don't take the time to learn the difference they just say "stay away from the lot".Quilly_Mammothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233071648647457818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-85002223394356807342010-07-05T20:01:08.860+10:002010-07-05T20:01:08.860+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Reverance Pavanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217657347160811310noreply@blogger.com
