That's an interesting article Pete. I have eaten quite a few whiting and not had any worms in them yet but I've had loads of mackeral with them in. Almost all the mackeral I have had from Shields this year had worms in the guts when I cleaned them but all the ones I caught on the south coast had none.
Hey lobsterwells shame I didn't know it was you I could have waved at you across the bay
Interesting to know you didn't get that problem on the South coast mate, makes you wonder what the difference is. I have noticed it in some mackerel aswell, they don't tend to eat into the flesh of mackerel though so I wonder if that's because its an oily fish.
