I'm wondering how long it would take them to return to good flesh/taste if they found adequate food...
Obviously the muscle quality and masswould heal. Would the taste stay bad????
Icould not sayabsolutely for sure, but my guess is that a fish that recovers would recover in flavoras well. I doubt you could tell that a fish had gone through a"roughpatch" by flavor. But I could not say for sure.
