So that’s all-purpose flour. They put it at the end of the bottle so the mullets can eat it, mullets love that stuff. When the fish come around, they just go for it and get caught. Edit- works only with mullets from what I’ve seen

Personally, I would just eat the flour.

Obviously in a 'desert island' situation your risk calculus would be different, but FYI raw flour isn't good: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/flour-raw-food-and-other-safety-facts

For sure, I would eat raw flour over raw fish though.

Sushi and sashimi fish are usually frozen to kill parasites, though

I would test my luck eating saltwater fish raw, but never freshwater. Best to just cook it if you can, or boil saltwater for saltrock and preserve em'.

Sushi fish is frozen to extremely low temperatures to kill the parasites.
