Do you eat them?

[SHEEPhedz]

Eating amberjacks and bowfins does not sound pleasent at all. To my knowledge you can eat both of those fish though. I read an article that said that the amberjacks feed on an animal that creates something called ciguatera toxin. It doesn't kill the fish but it makes the flesh taste bad and some people get sick from it. the bowfin In my opinion is just a step above a carp. I guess you can eat them but the flesh is very tough, like a piece of steak. With so many good tasting fish out there I don't know why you would settle for either of those fish.
