My frined caught a grover (mangrove snapper) down here in Florida and when We gutted it, it had a very thin black worm in the egg sack. We decided not to eat the fish since that never happend before. We thought it might be Ciguatera or something. If Anyone knows wut it might be please inform me. thanx

I demand the same treatment when I do it!! Anything less will be considered an insult.
