I was thinking about going out for some cod before it gets too warm but a friend of mine said that the meat might be "wormy" this time of year. What does that mean? Is it still safe to eat?

yes it is safe to eat, after you have cut up the fish , hold the fillet up to a bright light, if you see any worms[ they look like a flatten spring in a circle] just take something an pull them out, no big deal. fish markets call them friendlys so the customers don't get upset an run away.

Thanks. Just curious, are they unique to cod or might I find them in haddock, pollock, or any other ground fish?

what happens if you eat one:confused:

RAW OR COOKED:confused: .........NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.



THERE'S ALOT OF FISH THAT SWIM IN THE SEA THAT HAVE WORMS.......LIKE SWORD FISH..YUMMMM!

so um after you hold the cod fillet up to the light and remove the worm and toss it into the fire is that "friendly fire" LOL :rocketem:
