[quote=Anonymous]It’s called Ciguatera. The fish you have to avoid is barracuda and moray eel that live around reefs. This is because large, predatory fish that live near reefs, like barracudas, have a greater chance of passing along ciguatera fish poisoning. As its name implies, the poisoning is caused by a substance called ciuatoxin. Though ciguatera fish poisoning can stir up a highly uncomfortable spectrum of symptoms, it's rarely fatal. These fish are not in the markets because people will not eat them. Some locals will eat these fish but they are not selling them to tourist or restaurants. The people who get sick go fishing, keep the fish(locals, your boat captain or guide will tell you no) and the fish is big. There are places where you can eat barracuda with no problems. Generally the fish are barracuda, amberjack, moray eel, and certain types of grouper.[/quote]
