How To Fillet BARRACUDA! *SAFE *To Eat?
In this video we show you how to fillet a Barracuda. These fish often get a bad wrap as they can smell upon capture. The slime in their skin has an off putting scent, but once you fillet the fish it goes away. These are delicious fish. People also think all barracuda contain the toxin ciguatera, which is not true. Ciguatera is very rare to contract in the U.S and especially in smaller fish. The larger the fish. You have an equal chance of getting ciguatera from a big snapper or grouper as you do a big barracuda, as they both live on the reef where ciguatera is known to originate.
