fish guts
Catch's discarded innards
Fish guts are the internal organs of a fish—the entrails removed during cleaning and preparation.
The term emphasizes the messy, unpleasant nature of the material: The dock reeked of fish guts.
Fishermen use fish guts as bait or chum.
The phrase can describe anything with a similarly rank, visceral quality.
