wouldn’t waste my time, i hear they carry a toxin called Ciguatera… cellfish…
Ah Cellie, that's what the large barracudas carry and you loved the cuda you caught the other day...

Ciguatera toxicity is a food-borne illness caused by eating fish contaminated with Ciguatoxin. This toxin is a potent neurotoxin, and it is produced by Dinoflagellates, such as Gambierdiscus toxicus. They adhere to algae, coral, and seaweed, where herbivorous fish eat them. Larger carnivorous fish will suffer a toxin build-up from consuming these herbivores. Ciguatera poisoning is endemic to tropical and subtropical regions, mainly in the South Pacific and Caribbean. However, it can be found anywhere fish is consumed.
