Does anyone know what this is? I got a YT with the same thing in its belly minus the external sore. It's tubular and was not moving...can't find anything on the net other than this post a year ago. No one identified what it is....meat looks fine but not sure if there are microscopic parasites. Love my sushi but hesitant.

U shouldn't eat it, I'll be happy to dispose of the meat for ya. Just put it on ice and I'll come pick it up.
Jk.
It's a fat body. Normal in fish. Not a parasite.

No matter what it really is, I'd have cut away that area for sure, and then some. I would have frozen before eating it too. CA law requires all served raw fish in restuarants first be frozen, before being allowed to be served.

Dos ballenas please reply lol. Doesn't look like a gaff wound. My guess would be lamprey or raymora

You didn't turn your back on that thing, did you? You know some of those guys crawled off the table and are now hiding under your bed.

Yeah that is the digestive gland.... every yellowtail has one.

Doubt it was from a cookie cutter.... you really only see cookie cutter wounds on larger pelagic fish that frequent more tropical waters.... like swordfish and opah.

Def not a remora....

Def not lamprey as they live mostly in coastal and fresh waters

The wound could have come from many things. Hard to say. Yellowtail are tough fish and survive all kinds of wounds and battles.

The internal organ with the worm-like structures is the pyloric caecum (not parasites). A normal part of the digestive system attached to the stomach. I wouldn't hesitate to eat fish but if you are doubtful, freezing and/or cooking kills almost all parasites.

I hope he didn't eat it. Who knows what raymoras carry. Just looks dirty.

Poor fishy.


Why take chances or gross yourself out?

Give the poor guy a respectful send off to the afterlife, and catch another healthy fish for your dinner table.

Just looking at the pictures kills my appetite. I think I'll make a margarita and give this thread a rest.

I appreciate the advice guys but this post was from last summer. Still don't know what it was. I did grill it and had no problems.

Pretty conclusively pyloric caecum, iow, a natural - edible even, if you didn't have to look at it - part of a fish, as reported above.
