Clean fish promptly after they die to prevent scombroid poisoning. If a fish dies on the stringer, you should clean it on the spot and pack it in ice instead of waiting until you get home. Histamine will begin accumulating as soon as the fish dies.

What does scombroid mean?
Scombroid food poisoning is a foodborne illness that results from eating spoiled (decayed) fish.[1] It is the second most common type of seafood poisoning, second only to ciguatera. However it is often missed because it resembles an allergic reaction. It is most commonly reported with mackerel, tuna, mahi-mahi, bonito, sardines, anchovies, and related species of fish that were inadequately refrigerated or preserved after being caught. Scombroid can result from inappropriate handling of fish during storage or processing. One of the toxic agents implicated in scombroid poisoning is a chemical called histamine. Other chemicals have been found in decaying fish flesh, but their association to scombroid fish poisoning has not been clearly established.
