I always knew there was a reason why I loathe the taste of fish. I’m feeling vindicated as some cruising buddies are making a slow recovery from a nasty case of Ciguatera Poisoning.
Cigautera is a food borne illness caused by eating reef fish contaminated with toxins. The main symptoms are gastrointestinal and neurological though there can also be cardiac symptoms.
Leave the fish on the reef!
