Thanks a lot Stephen for chasing the
info on Ciguatera down. Some will
benefit from your help.
A word to the wise is usually sufficient.

Negative. Very few bones. Take a (very - not difficult) little care in
separating the side bones, what few they are, and fillet as you would any
other fish. We had the rest of him (the first half grilled a few nights
ago) tonight, fried, lightly breaded (no milk, just bread crumbs pressed
onto the flesh), and it's just marvelous.
Folks are scared of barry due to ciguatera - but last year, the folks on
Cat
Island, where we'd caught our first on the way into the Bight, told us
that
anything on the lee side (no reefs), of any size, they'll eat. Other
sources say that if it's under 30 inches, it won't have had enough time to
eat enough reef fish to be dangerous.
So, given that they're very territorial (and therefor don't travel all
that
far), we'll eat one if we've caught it many miles from any reef. So far,
that's the only sort we've caught. Delicious, firm but flaky, grilled or
fried, and will take nearly any lure, but we've had the best luck with a
simple cedar plug.
YMMV, we're not doctors...

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a clear
night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you are
quite alone on a wide, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the
general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the
surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as
self-sufficient
as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and
one
that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly
appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin
