Do you think we should be eating stripers that are feeding on pogies with these things?? Probable not, right? or would that even affect the fish that eats it?

Due to the Lead and PCB content, we shouldn't be eating stripers at all.

sounds like what u saw were anchor worms, parasitic crustaceans (i know, they don't look like crabs) that anchor themselves into fish. i see them in bluefish fairly often but rarely in bass.

its safe to eat fish with them

definately not myco




"never met a bluefish i wouldn't sell"
