Where to fish

[e.welch]

So it wouldn’t be ok to eat?

I wouldn't eat the fleas if I were you. Apparently they don't taste very good. The fish should be fine though.

I removed the fleas when I cleaned the fish but would it still be ok the meat or would their be something wrong with it due to the sand fleas

[e.welch]

Also would it be best to smoke the Trev or cook It on the bbq in some seasoning?

Good work catching a trevally one of my favourites for bait and eating, my old man caught an 8.3kg snapper in WP a few years ago on a trevally fillet. It’s fine to eat though mate, don’t worry. Try not to think about it while your eating it though lol. I’m not sure why it’s only really the trevally that get those parasites. Cooking wise, I personally like the fishy, oily flavour it has so I would recommend just fry in a bit of oil with some salt, but it’s up to you. I don’t know what seasoning you should use.

I’m not a big fan of super fishy fish and the seasoning a South African spice mix it goes superb with most things

Go for it, wouldn’t say it’s super fishy so don’t worry too much.

Yeah parasitic louses are very common in some species of fish, you'll find a lot of garfish have them on their gills. They do no major harm to fish and shouldn't affect the eating quality.
