black ooze in coral trout

[mick]

started filleting a coral trout last night, when a black ooze started comming out around the back of its head. it looked like sump oil but was water soluble. the flesh didnt smell bad at all. just curios if anyone knows what this is or if anyone has had the same thing?.
