Black Objects in Flounder Meat

[Tone Loc]

Went out today and caught four flounder. I have not caught many before, but when I was cleaning one of them I noticed, small black objects in the flesh. These were located just under the skin. This is the first time I have seen this in Flounder. Anyone know what the the black objects are? I cut them out, but should keep the flounder?

you got pic of the black objects?

I know what you are talking about. Somewhat common... most flounder don't have them but a lot do.

They are about the size and shape of a grain of rice. Not long and spermy looking like a trout worm, but they are in the flesh of the fillet too.

Pretty easy to get out since they are short, just rub them off. Doesn't harm the taste and I'm sure they won't hurt you. But then again, I will eat anything

Seasoning...

I did not take pictures, but Milkjug describe them to a tee. I thought that would be the case. Thanks for the info.

Any thought and info of the specled trout consumption advisory would be appreciated. I see from the post, most people are enjoying them as a meal.

LOL, eat 'em up! Trout worms too. People ask about eating the worms in the trout and I say to them, "You aint' a piscatarian are you?".

when people ask me about eating trout with worms I ask them what is the worm living in, and consuming? The answer is trout, so what will a trout worm taste like? ...Trout, doesn't bother me any.

They get like that from ingesting too much funky cold medina.


















Sorry, had to.

[Tone Loc]

I asked for it, but that funky cold medina is some bad stuff.

my old biology prof said parasites are tasty-he started P.A.T.E. = Parasites Are Tasty Eats. Just don't eat raw frog meat.
