They are eatable mate, but like most large preatiory fish you have to beaware that they might carry ciguatera, so don't eat too much.

NICE work, nice to see some reds smashing the plastics...

OFF course they are edible, just nuke them in the fry pan

I dont know about the barracouta in oz but in fiji, the flesh of the barracouta gets so sweet that it actually starts growing worms in the meat i dont no how the hell this happends but it does. It only happens at a certain time of year aswell.

P.s the worms taste gross lol

Nice fish Bustoff!

I'm not interested in eating those 'coutas. I've seen a couple in the past that were full of worms. Kinda put me off them.

However, are they any good for bait?
