Crustacean

[mC1988]

Hello guys, i went to rose bay yesterday, caught myself a nice trevally. When i tried to bleed it, i saw these light orange white crustacean that looks like yabbies. there was so much in its mouth and it in stomach. I took the trevally home still, i am not sure what they are and if the trevally is still eatable or not?

Mate they're only there to clean inside its mouth after it has eaten. You can eat it no problems

Cheers,

If it's one of them, they are normally referred to as "doctors".
