hey fella's and lass'es ..... after going for a fish today and having no luck on the mullet and bass front, i took home a pollack home for battered fish and chips . when i gutted the fish i found brown worm like creatures in the flesh . ive seen these on a few occaisions but dismissed any thought about them ..... so was the fish sick !! could anyone explain to me what they do/are/ ?
 
Found this on a cooking page, must hold also for pollock:

Oh, and one more thing: Do not eat either fish raw! They can sometimes harbor little parasitic worms that will pass on to you if you eat the fish raw -- that's why you will not see cod on a sushi menu. Although they don't die when the fish is frozen, the worms become harmless and are practically invisible once cooked. Reputable fishmarkets remove them when selling either fish fresh.
