| Re: Can you Eat barracuda's and live? I've eaten barracuda - it was caught whilst we were on a liveaboard in Zanzibar - two hours later it was on our plates, grilled steaks, with garlic and lemon juice - delicious. As for cleaning it, I have no idea, didn't see that bit.

| Re: Can you Eat barracuda's and live? Well, I grew up in puerto rico, I was alaways told that It was OK to eat the smaller ones, but not the large ones. And if I did there was a lining or something that needed to be removed from the stomach. Im going to the middle florida keys next week, I just want to know what can, and can't grill. LOL. thanx for the info |

| Re: Can you Eat barracuda's and live? We have a rule of thumb here in south Florida, and it does sounds goofy but it works. We throw the cuda on the dock, and if in a short period of time flys land on it, you can eat it. If flys don't land on it, it's got ciguatera. This only works with the small cudas, the large ones always have it. Jim |

| Re: Can you Eat barracuda's and live? I have eaten barracuda also while diving in Mexico. They literally caught it from our dive boat while we were on our saftey stop. They grilled it on the beach and it was good. After researching Ciguatera, it doesn't seem worth the risk to eat it again. |

| Re: Can you Eat barracuda's and live? Ever wonder why Tahitians like parrots and surgeons so much? In some places in Polynesia they wouldn't even hunt grouper, snappers and similar apex predators. Barracudas from coral reef regions prone to have ciguatera-fish are to be avoided; ask the locals (if friendly...), eat only the small ones and don't eat any barracuda or big carnivor predators (groupers, snappers jacks etc) caught from reefs recently beaten by storms. We eat barracuda in Brazil all the time, BTW.

I ate Parrot fish and barracuda in Tahiti, I was actually suprised that they had barracuda on the menu since I knew that they usually aren't edible due to ciguatera, but they probably know better! It was very good by the way! Said

Barracuda is great - the theory about flies on it is right as far as i know. In cayman they reckoned if the ants ate it it was good to go... |

| Re: Can you Eat barracuda's and live? you liked parrot fish sara? i always thought the locals are the onloy ones who like it, and by locals i mean local fishermen. I actually never eat parrot fish and although some of them are quite large i never shoot them. They just don't like your typircal edible kind. Maybe i should try it once
