Whether you fish for sport or to dine, everyone has to admit that fish of all kinds have some tasty possibilities. The freshest way to enjoy fish is to catch your own. With how inexpensive and easy it is to enjoy fishing charters in Cape Canaveral, your trip pays for itself if you are skilled enough to catch tasty—and, more importantly, edible—fish. But which common catches can you eat? You can't take home a just anything and expect to make a meal out of it. The ocean is a vast place. Eat These These are some common, native saltwater fish off Cape Canaveral that make great, healthy meals: - Yellowfin tuna
- Gulf flounder
- Hardhead catfish
- Red grouper
- Yellow-edge grouper
- Black grouper
- Tripletail
- White grunt
- Silver perch
- Hogfish
- Lookdown
- Spanish mackerel
- Tarpon
- Snook
- Red snapper
- Grey snapper
- Yellowtail snapper
- Black drum
- Red drum
All of the above are healthy and safe to eat in moderation. Consider asking for help identifying your catches when you fish, unless you trust your knowledge of marine wildlife. Don't Eat These Some fish to avoid eating, but are safe to catch for sport, include: - Puffer fish - They often have deadly levels of saxitoxin
- King mackerel
- Blackfin tuna
- Sharks over 43 inches long
Keep in mind that levels of mercury, a substance that can be poisonous to humans in high amounts, is more problematic in fresh waters than in the ocean. Most saltwater species off the coast of Florida have safe levels of mercury, if any. However, the Florida Health Department recommends that pregnant women and young children eat seafood in moderation. All other healthy individuals are free to help themselves to the wild marine fish listed above. If you take advantage of fishing charters in Cape Canaveral, you are free to catch and enjoy your own wild-caught seafood.
