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 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.

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.

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

Thanks for the replies everyone
Dannowar
It's funny you read it that way
Cuz I was wearing my Shakeperean actor outfit when I wrote it
Still workin on my accent
Harry Hill
Yup pretty much
Big cluster but not moving
Dave Legacy
I remember reading an article here bout it
Anywhere from a few months to maybe a year ago
Tried to use the search on it
But for some reason search wasn't workin at all yesterday
Jorluivil
What kind of vacuum sealer you use and recommend
I'm interested in pickin one up
Be nice to package em right
For my own freezer
And for friends and family
Papadave
Should I wear a tinfoil hat when I cook em up
YakDout & taggermike
That's exactly what they were
That helped a lot
Thanks
Appreciate it
Onetriphudson
HAHAHAA
A laughable moment indeed
Maquinapescado
We did this afternoon
Cut the fillet in half
Threw some house seasoning and herbs on it
Few lemon slices on top and threw it under the broiler
Was delicious
Gonna throw the other half on BBQ grill tomorrow
Fishin Phil
I will make sure and try and save any worms I find for you
Maybe have a vacuum sealer by then
Try and package it nice for you

Thanks again everyone
On a charter in a couple weeks
Hopefully get on the kayak before then
Either way
Try my best to get a few more fish
I'll let you guys know how it goes

Bring the fillet to me, I'll eat it and if nothing happens it should be fine. Then again, it could just be luck. Bring me another, and we will continue this process until you are absolutely confident it is safe for the family.
Could take 10-20 times before you can be sure nothing will happen. Better to be safe than sorry. I am willing to sacrifice for you. So that everyone can be safe.

A man is fishing at a resort lake when he sees a car pull up with just married on the back window, he watches while the groom carries the bride over the threshold but five minutes later the husband comes out and starts fishing.
A little later the husband runs back to the room but five minutes later he is back out fishing.
This goes on quite a few times and curiosity gets the best of the first man so when the husband makes about the 6th trip he decides to talk to him. He says to the husband, you must be really in love with sex with your new bride. The husband says no sex, she has gonorrhea so no sex.
The man asks, is the oral great? and the husband answers, no she has pyorrhea so no oral.
So the man getting really curious asks, is it anal, is that what keeps drawing you back? The husband says no, she has diarrhea so we don't do that.
Now the man is really curious and says if it's none of those things why do you keep running back to the room? The husband answers, well, she has worms, and I really love fishing.
