I read somewhere that if you want to eat these "vegetarian" fish you shouldn't open the gut cavity. It has a black lining that can apparently taint the flesh.

Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
I made the mistake of gutting right away rather than filleting. When you gut the fish, the black line remains. Either way, the texture wasn't too pleasing. A little mushy. Fun to catch, they fight surprisingly hard, but once bitten, twice shy, there are better fish to eat.
