next time, take a picture and upload it here in the forum.
itsaboat is really good at identifying fish :-)
I'd say most fish would be eatable - but some might not be very tasty.

Are starfish eatable?

I don't think it's poisonous - but you'd be having a hard time eating them 😊 They'd be hard as rocks.
Maybe for soup stock? I doubt anyone eats them.

Some starfish can be eaten (edible).

However, starfish are filter feeders just like shellfish. So, be careful since your location has high levels of heavy metals.

You beat me to it Mark :)

It is good to see you are having some luck when you have only just started fishing.

My advice would be, if it is not shown on the chart you posted earlier, then don't eat it. In future if you can take a photo I am sure we can identify it for you.

Sounds like you are doing pretty good 😊

If it didn't work...I would not be here.

If it did not work, Fishing Reminder would not be here.
