Would you still eat it if you found a.......... in it? do not read if your having fish for tea!

So, do you think the worm came from the fish? Where did you buy it? Supermarket or fishmonger?

eewwww ! no don't think I could.

I think I would keep the evidence and confront the shop that sold you the fish. No, wild horses wouldn't persuade me to eat it!

Was it like this?

I wouldn't eat it. Seal fish and worm in poly bag, put in fridge and take it back on Monday.

Says here not harmful if the fish is cooked thoroughly.

Don't think I could eat it though.

What a shame!

Horrible - no you mustn't eat it! YUK!!! Take it back to the shop.

Well, that article says it only like getting an insect in an apple! Says it's not contamination.

Ask your DH what he reckons Biker. It's not going to do him any harm but perhaps it's better to tell him first.

oh I have thrown the "thing" in the bin.....woildnt be able to find it again....it ws so thin!
the pie is almost ready and looks lovely!!!! I will just take a look at the links it was As*a where I bouth the fish from..theres no way you could have seen this thing as it ws of similar colour I remember once buying a fillt of fish from Mcdonald when they first opened..and found small red worm...blaaaaaaaa I think I have decide I cannot eat it now! looks like beans on toast.... grrrrrrrr......

Extra protein? I eat fried crickets on holiday. Lovely!

What`s worse, finding a worm, or finding half a worm? No, I couldn`t eat it, but then I`m squeamish anyway. I`d do what`s been suggested, wrap it up and take it back to the shop. When I was a youngster, I used to spend my summer holidays at my grandma`s in Lancashire, she used to come over on the bus to fetch me. Once she stayed overnight, and in the morning she brought out some bacon that she`d brought for all our breakfasts. As she unwrapped it, my mother recoiled in horror, it was crawling with maggots!! My mother was going to bin it, but my grandma was aghast at the idea, so she cooked it and ate it herself!

numberplease

I am even gladder than usual that I'm a veggie!

I remember a story about someone who found a mouse in her loaf of bread
It was a sliced loaf

think we need a green "yuk" icon! and for all those with hangovers lol.oh well!! thats the end of my culinary delights

Yuk bikergran what a shame! I love fish but not with a side helping of worm! If you can fish (sorry) it out of the bin I would take it back to A... Have found their fish counter good in the past but will look very carefully from now on. Enjoy the beans on toast!

To be honest if I had cooked the fish all in a one piece..I am sure I would not have notice the offending thing! as it blended in ...it ws an off whitish pale brown colour......I have no chance of "fishing" lol it out...........Im sure it could not have been seen whilst filetingt eh fish........and don;t blam A*da...I shall be leaving fish alone for a while...but we were going to visit and have lunch/tea at a a fish n chip restruant in near Clevelys ..that won best fish n chip shop..!! hmmmmmm.....

This is one of my dreads. I am a veggie except for the occasional bit of white fish. However, a few months ago I read an article about how common worms in fish is. I went right off fish until a few weeks ago. Now, I'm definitely off fish again, this time probably for good.

I had skate tonight cooked in a bag with fennel butter form Waitsore - I don't think I'd have seen it if there had been one. Shame you binned it - I'd have taken it back and expected a VERY large voucher along with an abject apology.

I'm sorry Oxon but that really made me laugh!

I don't think I would have eaten the fish but I do wonder just how many "things" we do eat inadvertently

Lots of fresh fish have worms in, especially cod, haddock etc. Its the red ones inside the scaley bits on the outside of fresh mussels that I don't like!

Cod is well known to have worms in it, some people never eat cod because of it. I have heard that the worms can be quite big !!!!
I found a wasp in a tin of fruit once, also stones in a tin of Baxters soup.
When I complained to Baxters about it they sent me some vouchers (for more soup!!!!) and a letter saying how sorry they were to hear about the stones in the soup , they went on to explain that great care is taken in the production of their soups and only natural ingredients go into their soups.

Well stones are natural aren't they

In the same week in the early 90's I found a maggot embedded in a weetabix and a huge moth in a bar of Galaxy chocolate.
