Walleye, one of the best tasting freshwater fish have a lot of tapeworms....if you ever put them in a bag to take home, then dump the dead walleye in the sink...presto...lose your lunch right there. Just a fact of life.
Cod roe & milt are a sushi/sashimi delicacy, you will see fluke (hirame) on the menu in every sushi/sashimi place you ever go to. Fluke don't get cod worms, and the worms never enter the milt/roe sacs of cod.
