See wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciguatera
"barracudas, moray eels, parrotfishes, groupers, triggerfishes and amberjacks, are most likely to cause ciguatera poisoning." Of these, barracudas, eels and parrotfish are not commonly eaten by North Americans. Groupers are rare to altogether disappeared in Culebra's waters, and triggerfishes are right behind them. That leaves amberjacks, which are a little more common. Yellowtail snappers are also more common. To be completely responsible while eating seafood on Culebra, go for the aquaculture, locally raised cobia. You might also try imported Maine lobster from El Eden, as they are abundant this year.
Please consider consulting the Seafood Watch guide prior to consuming any seafood. Thanks for allowing me the soapbox.
