Re: Does a misplaced shot mean I have to throw away the fish?

Yeah, no worries about that kinda stuff man, If in any doubt, then just gut the fish right there in the water after you have stoned it. Over here in the Uk we have a fish called the mullet... they are gill feeders so will suck up a load of sand and sive it through the gills and take out what they want... basically means that the result is a fish potentially full of rubbish.

So what soem guys do over here, is gut them and remove the head as soon as they have been shot. This ensures that the meat isnt tainted in any way... not that it would really make you ill... just that it can ruin the taste.


Anyways, to be honest as a rule of thumb there is nothign really to worry about.

Cheers man,

Huw.
