Wow, I can remember the warning placards not to eat the White Croaker back in the '80s, but it is a super bummer for them now to add Sand Bass to the list of species to avoid. Makes one wonder about halibut. Too bad that was the main portion of your fish clip. Kudos for reviving the rockfish and thanks for the report.

Yes they also mentioned Croaker. Those were the two fish mentioned not to eat. I asked if Calico was also affected and they said no. So even though the two can be caught side by side, I guess the diet of the Sand Bass is different.
