I never knew of such risk!

Post by skronkman » Mon Mar 18, 2019 7:43 am

I’m in NSW at the moment. Caught a few of the beach and wondered how they rate as a table fish compared to KGW.

The internet didn’t let me down.

From Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_whiting

“Sand whiting are a popular eating fish although can be dangerous to fishermen and children, when removing a hook from a whiting, if not handled properly may lead to the loss of finger due to their head rotation.”

The world is so unsafe now days.
