The fish is not for eating. That's what Newark officials are saying to residents about the fish that have washed onto the streets following recent flooding.
The fish were caught or found in flooded sewers, rivers, streams, and ponds after heavy rains doused the city.
The alert was issued Monday by the city's Health and Community Wellness Department.
Officials urged people to not trap, catch or eat any fish caught on the streets because it's unclear how "exposure to elements outside of their natural domains will affect them."
There are several ponds and lakes in the region where fishing is permitting.

I saw some reports on the local news. Some residents were trying to trap the fish and get them back in the river. They were not looking to eat them.
Apparently, we have everything in FL.

In remembrance of its baptism
Eel can be quite good - I’ve had it smoked, in Asian dishes, and in Spain, where they catch eel in the rice fields on the Mediterranean and put it into paella.
However, nothing caught in the open sewage channel that was the Hudson in the 50s and 60s should have been eaten by human beings. Eels were simply the only thing that could live there.
As detestable as Pete Seeger’s politics were, he did an enormous amount to clean up the Hudson, and it really is thanks to him that the whole idea of cleaning up our rivers took off. It may pain me to say this, but ya have to give credit where it’s due!
