I'm sure some will say as long as you get all the red meat off the fillet they're fine, that's where toxins are stored in the body fat. Any fish swimming around in the waters off the turnpike while they have my utmost respect, don't have enough red meat to cut off to the extent I'd consume them.
Dan I'm not familiar with the location from the picture in your post. Any chance that area froze up (brackish water) during the winter and the kill happened earlier but wasn't noticed until ice out. Might explain why the gulls didn't feast on them if they weren't accessible.
