I caught a bunch of bugs in Key Largo last week and promptly cooked them. The wife and I enjoyed several each with a little drawn butter. YUM!
However, I put the leftover picked meat in the fridge and the next morning some of it had turned a real ugly black on the outside skin of the meat. I tasted it and it was still delicious, but it looked ugly so I shaved it off.
I have caught thousands of lobsters, both Maine and rock and have never seen this before. Has anyone else here encountered it?

High Iodine content exposed to the air = oxide 100% fine to eat, just do it in the dark.
