Fish Gills

The fish gills are often the first indicator of poison. If they appear dark pink and are no longer smooth, it’s best to discard them along with the surrounding meat and cheek areas before cooking.

Fish Eyes

Cloudy, immobile, or protruding eyes are a telltale sign of poison. Always check the eyes of the fish before purchase or consumption.

Fish Body

A poisoned fish’s body will often appear distorted and rough, with yellow skin and a green tail. Sometimes, there may be tumors on the back. Other signs include flaky, clumpy scales, indicating severe poisoning.

Fish Odor

Poisoned fish often emit a strong, unpleasant odor. Additionally, they may feel dry and lack elasticity when touched.
