Red Tide Question

[zacs]

Here is my semi-informed, possibly right answer.

I think that the toxins do not travel into the flesh (muscle) of the fish. They are, however in the digestive system. This is the same for shelfish. So therefore, shelfish like clams, oysters, muscles, where you eat all of the guts, viscera, etc..., are bad, but shelfish like scallops you only eat the aductor muscle, so they are OK. So, I guess if you ate the guts of a fin-fish you would become ill, but the fillets are safe.

I think this is true, but don't sue me if you die.

Catch and release.
