Subject: RE: Is "Escolar" poisonous?
I'm trying to identify this fish: it almost fits the description of a fish I
know of by another name. Can someone please attach a photograph for my
benefit, plrase?
Thank you.

I hear it's cheaper than Xenical and natural too!
In the Philippines, this is sold extensively as a substitute for the Black
Cod or Sable fish. It's sometimes referred to as "local gindara", gindara
being the Japanese name for the Black Cod or Sable fish. I think there was
an article in one of the seafood magazines that suggested limiting portions
to about 6 oz to avoid the diarrhea problems.
Problem with this fish though is its tendency to quickly develop
histamine...

Speaking on behalf of all us old folks in Florida, I have never heard of
such a thing.
It might make for a very interesting marketing campaign though. Just think
of all the possibilities.

Someone once told me that he had heard of doctors in Florida prescribing
small amounts of this fish for old folks who were constipated.
