AFAIK, yes it is. The commercials have, for years, candled cod. The cod is passed over a bright light. The worms are picked out of the fillets. Nasty but true. I have heard that cod love seal crap, and that is a main entry point of worms into the cod. |

Absolutely normal TT. Just hold the filets up to the sun or a bright light source and cut them out. Generally they all have worms, some more than others. I have found that inshore summer cod have more than offshore cod, but others may have their own opinions.  |

What they said, but would also recommend cutting any thick pieces of fillet in half, width wise as it is often hard to spot them in thick pieces even with a bright light. Do the same for any ground fish like cusk haddock etc. Pick them out with the back tip of a knife.

I just eat the whole thing. You'll never taste it and it won't hurt you. Look at it as a little extra protien

I eat the worms, too.
Then again I eat shrimp shells, liver, and all sorts of nasty things that most people don't like.

reminds me of my brother in-law at a buffet w/peel and eat shrimp. Or I should say, ready to eat shrimp. It's amazing how much faster you can put them baby's down if you don't mind a little crunch... Oh the horror. |

If you don't see a worm in a cod fillet, you're not looking hard enough.
They all have' em. I too, have heard that they come from seal poop.
