yeah, the ones I saw were all curled up , and when you pull them out, they uncurl. dang, i dont know what to do. i guess if I see them again, I will throw the fish away. But from what I am hearing, you should be ok as long as you cook them all the way done.

Quit worring about them worms, they won't eat much..

You will find parasites beneath the skin of a lot of fish in ponds in Okla. Nothing new around here . You can flick them out with the point of a knife . If you skin the fish .

Aint nothing but a little more meat anyways.:rolleyesRofl

A lot of fish have parasites. Go to a sushi bar and watch the when they slice the fish. You will see them fling off the parasites.
