One customer bought some mackerel and one contained worms so she caused a huge scandal in the media. The supermarket spokesman explained that is a normal situation as the fish was caught in natural habitat and worms have the right to be living in such fish.   I tend to agree with him. Fish produced on farms contain harmful antibiotics and other substances from pollution which is higher near the shore than in the open waters. I prefer worms to mercury, lead and cadmium. That`s why I never make fuss when I find a worm on my veg - I am even glad. What do you think? |

Besides, it appears they are in the entrails and not the meat. As a teenager I worked in the meatroom of a supermarket and I remember some of the swordfish that came in had large worms in the actual meat part of the fish. The butchers always cut them out when filleting it because people would not buy it if they saw the worms. But if you are buying a fish whole, that's just part of the risk...if it even is a risk. |

I remember the first time I heard about parasites in fish, it was in communist times when shops sold a lot of blue whiting at very low prices to attract people into seafood instead of pork. But customers were reluctant because the rumour went that the fish contained worms, and indeed , each fish hosted one long worm along its spine, between vertebrae. That was enough to put most people off, however my family didn`t mind those fish as worms could be easily removed. But I still have this picture in my mind. That`s strange, I cannot find any image showing such worms. Does it mean contemporary fish have got rid of them? |
