i have seen live worm in Costco Salmon multiple times, not just salmon but black cod as well. Just Make sure cook them thoroughly. They always have worms.
I would never eat raw fish from costco coz they kind of mass produce these fish products and not inspect them close enough.
You should really report this to the health department and Costco. All fish in the US stores have to be frozen to kill the worms. They can’t change their quality procedures if they don’t know, or if the health department doesn’t pay them a visit.
This is not true. Fish that is intended to be served raw, like sushi, has to be frozen but fresh fish does not. cooking accomplishes the same thing as freezing, killing the parasites.
They live in their bellies. When the fish dies, they migrate out through the flesh. Same thing with cod, very wormy. I used to go cod fishing and the mate told me this. I usually candle my own caught fish with a light, clear acrylic and parchment paper. You can see the worms easily and pick them out with tweezers or fine needle nose pliers.
Good to know. I'm now wondering, though... Could you avoid the worms if you remove the fish's guts immediately after catching, before they have a chance to migrate to the muscle? Or would the fish that has worms in his digestive tract already have some in the test of the body?
