Agree! I kept some mackerel once. I smoked it, as oily fish take smoking very well. It was still nasty to me! I've never heard that barracuda are toxic. They are pelagic, so they move around a lot. There are resident specimens, but even those move in and out of the bays and the kelp. So I don't think they are any more toxic that a tuna or a YT.

If you want the best fish taco sauce.... Find some really good chipotle salsa. Fish around until you find one you really like, then go 50/50 chipotle salsa to mayonnaise. It's AWESOME!

In respect to their toxicity people may be treating them like the cudas around Australia where large predators often become toxic with ciguatera toxin. You aren't so posed to eat them once they get a certain size. I dont think we have that problem here though or we would hear of people getting poisoned.

I never knew for sure, some old timers on the pier used to tell us that so I just never kept them. They are fun to catch.
