Black dots

[Special]

Well I had a great day on the water. I caught my first decent sized smallmouth (probably tiny for many of you all, ie 2 pounds) and then another and more and more. My friend and I were pulling feathers through the shallows and it was like magic. A local filleted the fishes and I cooked, but I couldn't help noticing black dots in the meat that are perhaps parasites? The fish is tasty regardless but I am wondering if it is safe to eat them again (although I do not regularly kill smallmouth)

Still leftovers if anyone wants . . .
