I got 5 a few weeks back and no worms in any of them.

I always thought cooking would kill the worms so if you are making sushi I think you need to freeze if first but if they are cooked you shouldn't even notice the worms. I've seen guys throw away striped bass because they had leaches in their mouths so some people seem to worry to much. Unless the worms are really noticable I don't think I would worry to much. Of course I could be wrong, I was once before but I divorced her and fixed that problem. I think I need to carry a chart of minimum sizes so I don't keep the wrong sized fish.
