after filleting some fresh run cod i noticed small worms embedded in the flesh and i was wondering are these parasites found in all fish and are they harmful to people ie mother in law?
its one I\'ve thought about a few times. Mackeral from the north east coast seem to be riddled with em in the stomach cavity, yet ones I catch off the west coast of scotland are completely clean, same goes with cod.
Read something on the net about the parasitic worms a while back...they fihs carry the worms in the flesh..the fish are eaten by seals...parasites then live in seals stomach where they lay there eggs which are then defecated back out to be picked up by the cod and the cycle starts again...apparently harmless to humans..just pick them out
