Baaaaaaaah

Get a dive light and shine it through the fillets to find worms. Adi, you catch so many halibut you might want to build a light box to candle your fish.

If you cook halibut to 140 degrees internal temp and hold it at that temp for ten minutes you are going to have a dry, flaky, flavorless mess. I prefer halibut cooked until the center just loses the translucence, so I guess I'm taking a gamble. If you use dry ice to freeze your halibut, you can easily achieve the -31ºF needed to quickly kill the parasites.
