Cod worms

[FishNH]

I put the fillets in the fridge for the night and the worms seem to come out or to the top of the meat. Just pick them out and all is good.

Buy a freezer that will freeze to 7 degrees below zero..will kill the worms....that is what real shusi food places do with their raw fish.

Most of the worms come from codfish eating seal feces off the bottom...the futher away from the seal population the less worms.

Buy pork chops from your local grocery...pour some coke on it...see the parasites or use paper towel with coke and rub on your cheek or forehead and U may see parasites

Ok I did my time working in a fish market and have seen my share of the cod worms and I can handle worms on my corn but this just made me a little.....

Yep... they're actually not cod worms per se, they're really seal parasites. Cod are just a vector so they can end up back in the seal, the final host.

Yet another thing we can blame the massive seal population on

Sounds like a nice TFCTFN contest, who has the most parasites coming out of their forehead!
