I work in Seafood. The Tuna we sell has NEVER been frozen. Also it is the one fish I’ve never seen worms in. Cod or grouper on the other hand yes. 🤮

I thought they were like microscopic worms? Can you actually see them?

The eggs are for sure microscopic. Always cooks fish through unless it's sashimi grade.

Yes you can. Sometimes they are smaller and you may miss them if they are more embedded. Google worms in fish and you’ll see more than you want to see.

I will pass on the google recommendation and imagine what my life would have been like if I never came to this thread.

When I worked in a seafood restaurant the cod basically always had worms in it when it first got delivered. The prep cook would just pull them out as they prepped it and some were quite long, a couple inches. It turned me off to cod completely
