Just caught a big spaniard (maxed out the 25kg scale before it was 3/4 off the ground) yesterday in Hervey Bay (at 16mile ledge if anyone;s interested) Tried about 4 mouthfuls strait off the barbie when we finished filleting it. No symptoms at all early or now - 24hrs later. DO you think I could assume it's free of ciga or would I need to eat more to get a symtoms. Safe or not - what does the Ausfish 'hive mind' think?

IMO you had enough to be struck down if the fish was contaminated, less than 6 hours it took to affect my family.

ANYTHING bigger than 8kilos doesn't make it to my freezer. If it does, it's for bait purposes. Probably a little O.T.T., but I hate puking!

Used to chase the Spaniards up the Inside of Fraser, anything of size say over 7kg mmm well the "Poor Old Pussy Cat' would get first go (Pieces nearest to backbone). 8hrs later if Pussy showing no ill effects, out come the Filleting Knife (Always Fillet Them) oh and the Crispy Skin yum. Pussy Cat lived to be about 14.
