| | Big Cuda = Ciguterra, spellin, from eating other scavenger fish on the reefs, is sometimes deadly, and sometimes not much worse than food poisoning. I'm not suggesting you eat them, nor do I have any scientific evidence. But, I can remember many many Sunday afternoons after many beers and lots of rum and kamakazies, going out trolling the edges of the Blackwater Sound mangroves, catching a few dozen 16" - 18" cudas, filleting them up, toss in a pan with lots of veggies and some taters, cover with foil, bbq til nice and done and party down with a bunch of other half inebri-ated buddies. No brain damage I can remember, and no-one died. |

| Juvenile barracuda such as the 18 inchers you speak of are also called sinnet. They spend the younger parts of their lives in the backwaters before going to sea which is where they actually hit the reefs where they obtain the ciguetera poisoning which trust me is an ugly thing, I have seen it. The sinnet however are tasty as hell, fun to catch and I have eaten lots of them in the keys.
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters. |

| They taste a lot like grouper but have a different texture.
Eat only the small ones that have not built up high levels of poison and cut out the blood line.
