This is very normal for cod to have worms - you weren’t slighted by the supermarket lol it doesn’t make the fillet inedible - you can easily pick them out...as long as you cook your fillet like any other meat or fillet, you’re perfectly fine..
I agree that fish (in nature) have parasites. But this product is neither wild caught, nor is it organic. Therefore it should have been treated to eliminate parasites while being raised in the fish farm. I realize that I'm able to safely eat fully cooked worms. But I choose not to, especially when they're big enough to be garnish.
@@torontochris9 no one in Grimsby U.K. eats cod because it’s notoriously riddled with worms... wild would be worse, I’m surprised there is even a place that farms cod tbh
This is completely normal. The amount of people that are clueless about things like this when it comes to eating wild caught fish and game really shows how rich and spoiled we have become. If you don't like it, don't eat wild caught anything. The truth of the matter is the worms are harmless when prepared properly.
These aren't wild caught and farmed fish need to be properly medicated. I know they're harmless. But my rich, spoiled ass doesn't eat worms big enough for a fork.
Some people just can't stand the anxiety so shut up and mind ur own business. This guy has a point in saying that farmed fish shouldn't have parisites. This is why we don't assume things and fill in the gap by ourselves. I have been scrolling through articles and videos of these trying to determine if they r safe but it isn't helping cuz most articles say it could lead to severe abdominal pain.
Years ago I had a friend that told me never to eat the Cod. His uncle had been a Cod fisherman. His uncle told him that the cod always has worms in it not to eat it. It's very common to see worms crawling out of cod that's been defrosted sitting in the refrigerator section of the supermarket.
As far as I'm aware this isn't a sign of low quality and it actually showed the fish was fresh because the worm's were still alive, if you eat fish you will always inadvertently eat these parasites...
I agree that most fish has parasites. I still eat fish. The size of these particular ones is what I found notable. If they're large enough to be garnish.... it's harder to ignore. :)
You can't keep fish in the fridge!! You have to keep them in the freezer! Otherwise fish is quite good for you. Even though it is unlikely to be a problem when fully cooked.
Worms I've realized is in everything once you can identify them. Buy a full chicken do that enough look through the meat and you'll notice the same worms often in the thigh meat.
When it comes to the parasite lernaeocera branchialis, they have been in EVERY SINGLE COD GILLS THAT I HAVE CAUGHT!!! And im sick of it! And because i cant find enough relevant information of this little sh*t, im cutting one of the cods gils, and taking it home to do my own set of research. By studying it, examening it, if im lucky to get one hosting eggs im examening that, see how it reacts with different chemicals, and find out something new cause i cant search it up myself
Vegetables are covered in pesticides these days and most lack nutrients like they used to. Good luck though. Hope you get yours from a reliable source.
@@gabbyk1391 have you never heard of rinsing food, or organic food? The health hazards of eating animal foods far outweighs and potential issues with plant based foods. This is why the cardiac care field is full of sick and dying patients with clogged arteries and dying hearts, and cancer wards are full of people with cancerous colons.
@@JohnvanGurp You realize plants absorb water (including chemicals) right? You can't get rid of the chemicals completely as they're inside the vegetables. The only way to avoid them is to grow your own. Also, I don't agree about the cancer. Look up the stories about benzene in products. Things like that and radiation are what causes cancer, not meat.
@@JohnvanGurp One more thing. If you're so assured by your claims about meat causing cancer feel free to link me to some studies that you got your knowledge from. I'd love to see them.
The fish market is supposed to deal with these, but often times they slip past or perhaps the fish market has gotten lazy. Either way, they often get to my workplace & I have to deal with them, because my coworkers' failing eyesight prevents them from spotting the worms.
Its the fishes fault, Dolphins drop poo which parasites sit on, then fish eat it, pretty much you take responsibility trying to get worms out, or cook em.
The worm is the guaranteed quality
I mean.. its cod.
I'd just throw the whole house away at that point

torontochris9 actually wild caught fish are far far more likely to have parasites. Professional chef here

As the parasites were still alive actually shows the fish is fresh! 😅🤢
@@Frilleon That was his point. He is saying that it especially should not have them because its farm raised.
No extra charge for the worm

I work at a processing place, they are in all the cod, and the crab
I remember as a child sifting weevils out of flour. If you knew how many things living or dead you really ate.
Wild cod, can’t beat it!
next time you order cod and chips, enjoy your worms, we all have been doing for years, harmless to us as they are killed in the fryer
Makes you mad when the worms appear... two is not bad
$8 for that tiny piece of cod wow
GROSS!
Make sashimi from it. It's "authentic" if the worms are still alive when you eat it.
Glad to have given up all seafood and animal foods years ago… so disgusting.

Soak in milk. Cod fish will always have worms.
Worms in cod? Extra protein.
"Quality Garuntee", eh?
Poor quality, that's for sure.
Not at all. If anything a parasite still moving means the fish is fresh. Plus this is totally normal for most fish.
wrong
This is why I don’t eat fish 🤢🤮
Ewwwwww 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Even though it’s normal they should have taken it out bro
The fillet line can process up to half a million lbs a day and is moving too fast for the removal
The fish market is supposed to deal with these, but often times they slip past or perhaps the fish market has gotten lazy.
Either way, they often get to my workplace & I have to deal with them, because my coworkers' failing eyesight prevents them from spotting the worms.
I do not work where this specimen was acquired, but I am refraining from saying where I work for privacy.
🤢🤢🤢gross ewwwwwwwwwwwww
Haddock have worms too .kill off the seals will help solve the problem
you should sue the supermarket, it’s clearly their fault some parasite eggs have hatched
You can’t sue for something this minor lmao. They aren’t harmful if you cook your fish to FDA temps.

@@Valkarons In America you can sue for anything, you may not win, but you can try.
Devin M. Albeit you’re right, that’s a pretty scummy thing to sue for.
@@nesian13 That’s correct ... they come from seal poo etc!
