Most of us include fishing as a way to secure a protein source in a survival situation. Targeting small fish species to include fish as small as minnows, etc. While most of us are familiar with the edible species of game and non-game fish. It dawned on me last night that I have not seen any discussion about the possibility of some smallish fish possibly being inedible or even poisonous. I know that one of the Gar species, I think (Florida Gar) has meat above the lateral line that is actually poisonous if not removed when dressing this specie. Again, I am drawing on a memory from years ago when I lived in FL so I may have the wrong specie it could be the Longnose Gar instead. I plan to investigate this some and thought I'd pose the question here as well.
