Anyone know anything bout yellowtail and worms
Ended up on a private boat this morn
Went out to Catalina and caught a yellow We cleaned it up at my friends house There was a bunch of worm lookin things in it Up by the heart area Didn't think to take a pic of it Woulda been smart to take one Then you guys could see what I'm talking about So I point it out to my friend He doesn't know if it's normal or not But he says it's cool as long as we freeze it He says he's gonna just freeze it and sashimi his fillet Says if it is worms then that'll kill em I'm a little unsure Wanted to sashimi it till I saw what I saw Looked like half of its guts were worm like Anyways don't feel like sashimi anymore Is this normal Is it safe to eat if I throw it on the grill Or is that just what their guts look like Only other yellows I've caught have been on charters They gutted em for me And I never payed any attention to the guts So I got my fillet on ice in the fridge Not sure what to do with it Don't wanna feed it to my family till I get some info Thanks everyone |

There are parasites in most if not all fish, I always find them in halibut. Just pull them out and you'll be fine, no need to go all CSI on this. Every so often I miss one and end up vacuum sealing it with the fillet, I end up finding it when I get ready to cook the fish, I just pull it out and move on.

I think they are aliens trying to infiltrate our planet.

There was a thread here some time back where someone found a huge cluster of something that looked like worms, but I think it turned out to be something different. You should search for it.
Freezing in your home freezer won't do it. You need to get down to like 14F for 48 hours or something. You'd probably need to get some dry ice to pull that off. |

Google pyloric caecum. If that is what it looked like, then no they arent parasites. And no they arent worms. Ive had yellows with it before. Just part of their digestive system. Sashimi it up.

If it looked some thing like this it is pyloric caeca and normal. About all fish will have parasites, both internal n external. Mike |
