Name That Fish Disease!

Before you go ahead and click the images below, be warned, its pretty nasty! However, this disease is fairly common and can effect multiple species of fish. This particular case is the worst I have seen to date.

Yikes!!!
Talk about a fish with Frakles…
Don’t know if I have the stomach to handle a fish in that condition even though the disease does not tranfer to humans.

The Disease is called:
Uvulifer ambloplitis (“black spot” in fish)
Other Common Name: Black grub.

Very well explained in this link.

Cheers,

From The Table of Adam Guy – Japanese Flounder

Like all flatfish, the flounder are cut into four fillets, rather than two as for normal fish. Then the fish pieces are skinned, and the 'wings' separated from the meat. The best part of the flounder are the fatty wings which are delicious as sashimi, and the fact that they comprise so little of the total meat of the fish makes them a rare treat. The skin is also tasty deep-fried or parboiled. But the fillets themselves are also quite delicious in their own right, here I have salted and pressed them between konbu kelp leaves, and then cut and served them just like sashimi. The flesh of the flounder is quite sweet and firm, and is complemented perfectly by the perfumed flavour of the kelp.
