Cod worms

[Mr. Sandman]

I am surprised that the public is largely unaware of these worms. I think if they were demand would shrink and then maybe some of the comm fishing pressure for them would lessen. This would be a good thing.
Maybe we should post large photos of wormed fish outside the fish markets and grocery stores. That would be a novel form of protesting.


Several fisherman I know have stopped fishing for them and don't eat them because of the worms.

Then again...I remember eating an ear of corn when I was kid and it had a couple worms. I told my mother...her response was Ooooh, you have a good one! , A good one I said? Well if you were a worm would you eat a bad ear of corn?...just eat around the worms


I wonder what is causing them target cod and not flounders and other bottom fish? Could it be location?
