I quite agree with irtrogdor... Please don't behave like you belong to another planet.. If you think that the insides of a fish (its favourite diet) is toxic than perhaps you should not go near that fish, because it is the product of its diet... Humanity has survived quite ok without all that worry, and man has only recently learned to clean and cook what it has been eating all along...

Well, in this part of the world too, parrot fish is a specialty and if you throw away the intestines etc. the locals will laugh at you because its the tastier part provided that you milk out and clean the juicy inside properly while rubbing off the scales... The experienced fisherman will put many freshly caught fish right into the pan as it is, without bothering to clean the inside, because he knows that if the fish cooks with its own juices it will taste better... (They throw away the inedible parts only during eating..) And believe me many of them has never been to a hospital in their life... They also know that certain fish should be cleaned properly not because the inside is toxic but because it tastes bad (or maybe that comes to the same thing, I don't know..)

Eat and enjoy your freshly caught fish, because that is the whole point, isn't it ?

Best regards,
