Ciguayo

Ciguayo refers to a type of poisonous fish, specifically the two species of the genus *Mugil*, commonly known as mullet. While ciguayo isn't a term widely recognized in everyday discussions, it's important in certain regions as it can pose health risks when consumed without proper knowledge about its toxicity. The fish accumulates toxins from algae, which can lead to foodborne illnesses if ingested. This phenomenon highlights the importance of understanding local seafood sources and ensuring that fish are safe to eat, especially in coastal communities where fishing is a common practice.
