LittleNoah Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 No idea about the spots, but, "if in doubt, throw it out" 1 feed of fish isn't worth getting sick over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta agree with that, if I was you and caught an obviously diseased kingfish with brown spots and no doubt a bad odour near the tail fin after having a subtle sniff, I wouldn't be bringing it home that's for sure, in fact if eaten as a sushimi it could even carry an undiscovered form of mortuous underarm excrusiosa and excruciating soccodaemia betwixt the cheeks, in fact I wouldn't hesitate not to even gargle the eyes down with a middy of scotch.

huntman Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 post up a photo. It should be fine to eat, but there is no way to be sure unless we can see what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
