Question Cod worms

I realize this is not a striper question, but who better to ask than avid fishermen.

I got a couple of keeper cod inshore off Gurnet Point in Duxbury this weekend. Upon filleting them I found they had worms/parasites in them. I have heard differing opinions on the edibility(?) of the fillets from these fish.

Is the meat bad, or as I have been told by one old salt - they are cavity parasites and do not enter the flesh, just wash them off and you are OK.

Any advice - I've got some nice fillets to cook or toss.

"Time and tides wait for no man", ... and neither do the fish.
