Some fish are loaded with them. Seen them slurp back into the flesh, so there are probably some that you missed. Cook em up

Yep, that's an anchor worm. They're common parasites of our local fish. But that's a damn big one. If I recall correctly anchor worms are actually copepods related to sea lice. Any way, the fish is safe to eat so enjoy. Mike

Just protein. I'd be willing to bet in some Asian culture those things are a delacacy.

Just when you thought parasites couldn't be any nastier.... something else comes along.
The yellows I filleted here in Korea the other day had worms in the meat too. |
