gje Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Just wondering if any other Raiders have experienced a similar problem cleaning fish. After a nice day on the water off Cronulla yesterday, i was cleaning a snapper and thought that the fish must have had sand in its stomach contents because my hands felt very gritty. After washing my hands i found hundreds of tiny glass like spikes in my hands and fingers. They are really hard to remove being so small and numerous. Is it something the fish has eaten ?

Croydon Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 My guess would be sea urchin they love eating them and they break up really fine but who knows!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gje Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Thanks Croydon, but these were like very fine glass like fibres less than half a millimetre long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisha8 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 That is from the urchins and you will also get it if one poos on your boat and you wipe it of with your hand. Lasts for about a day, if you look in there gut it looks like cotton wool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
