Check your next Long John's (or Mrs Paul's or Gorton's) fish and you'll see that it's loaded with these ugly parasites. Incidentally, Cod are usually full of 'em too- and the worms live for DAYS after the fish is dead, and they don't mind being iced down. Check your local grocery store seafood market for cod with little pink blotches in the flesh. Cut into one and I guarantee you'll find a live worm.
interesting about the COD, never knew that and I'll have to check it out next time I am at Farm Fresh.
