yum..fresh! Maybe you should stick to your fish fingers mate...all that processing should keep the worms at bay.

Big deal. Cut the worm out fry the fish up and eat it.

Well that just proves how fresh Waitrose's fish is!!!! Yes it is NORMAL for that to happen. You may have a problem though if you like to eat cod raw though!!!!

Totally normal... I'm a fishmonger that has removed many of these worms from fillets of fish. I've been in the business for 25 yrs and I haven't killed any one yet.... To my knowledge ;-)

we find those worms in our pacific halibut all the time.if I see them before we freeze the fish,I pick them out alive.after frozen and you cook them well,they wont hurt you.after skinning a filet,I hold the filet up to a light,locate the worms and pick them out.I do that for the wife and guests.They are what they eat,and if well cooked,I believe that they will not hurt you.alot of people just cook the fish and eat them.no joke.

Worst case ever of worms I ever encountered was not Waitrose. Bought eel from the market. Oh my days when I got home that eel was walking out all by itself with worms. It was riddled to the core, right through. Probably more worms than eel at that stage. I couldn't stomach it at all so it went right in the bin :(

(never eaten eel since)
