Were they alive when you thawed them out?

Finding worms in your fish is gross but it's also normal and common. And it really doesn't matter if the fish come from the bay or ocean. Like others said, most of the nematodes, round worms, are around the gut area. Just inspect the fillets and cook em all the way through. I always end up kinda dissecting my fish as I'm filleting them; gender, reproductive state, what they've been eating, parasite types. The more you look the more you find. Trematodes, copepods, and isopods on the gill, same on the body, anchor worms on the eyes, worms all through and around the gut, even worms occasionally in the swim bladder. Mike

Anisakis Simplex...

Cook thoroughly, freeze fillets before eating if paranoid...

More halibut I come across have them, that don't...
People just don't like to talk about it
