Worms in Fish

[onerabbit]

"I once saw footage of guys hosing worms from jemfish fillets in NZ prior to packaging for export, the vid zoomed right in on the fillet and it appeared to have about 3 to 4 worms per square inch. Apparently this is standard practice for these fish."

Interesting, I have caught quite a few Jemfish and have not seen a worm in them yet, but they do have VERY flabby soft flesh, which takes away a lot of the appeal of eating them, but they do taste very nice once cooked.

One fish that I DO find worms in a lot is sand flathead, caught on the 32s.....
I have found heaps of them with black intestinal worms 2-3 inches long and about as thick as a bit of spagetti.

We caught some parrot off Bundy a few months ago(when there was no wind ), and was told the worms in the flesh were common for that area.I just cut them out and did not tell the missus !

There are always heaps of worms in the Coral Trout up here...Always in the gut cavity...Likewise, just slice em out...

That video is the most feral thing I have seen in a long time!!!

Flathead is my main catch, but also whiting and Jack and from now on an extra carefull eye will be cast over the catch.

Kev for a wonderfull thread.....

Ugh! Rotten film. Rotten.

Can you imagine what a bastard you would have to be in this life to be born one of them in the next??? Thank God I'm not a friggin' Buddhist.
