Wild animals (including fish) have parasites. It's life. No way around it.

I second this.
Thanks to "health regulations" fresh fish in the US isn't really fresh unless it's illegal.

the cost to dry ice and liquid nitrogen for freezing is very expensive. ok when selling 500 lb tuna, not so cost effective on taliapa.

I prefer to source my fish from the Kenai Peninsula- Kasilof River has a decent run of red salmon to dip for.
Cook Inlet also yields a bounty of Halibut and Cod that I've caught over the years. And yes they get worms from time to time- just pull 'em out.

well, i buy a lot of my fish from a wholesale market in jessup, md it is 10 miles south of bwi. all interested can fly to bwi. when i posed this post, i was interest in procuring fish from locations with a wide base of distribution. not an individual, and limited beach or dock source requiring 3000 miles of travel.

Yes. Halibut, just like this beauty. My 14-year-old self named him Hal Booty. The red hole on his head that looks like an eyeball is an exit wound from a 22-gauge shotgun round. It was the only way to get him on the boat without him knocking someone overboard into 200 feet of icy water.
As we were leaving the harbor at 4 a.m., one of the guys on the boat said that women on a fishing boat are bad luck. Well, sir, I agree - it is bad luck for you that this 110-lb lunker picked my hook instead of yours.

i think they got screw worms out of american cattle, but pigs still have tricinosis. most vegies and fruits have worms of some sort.
of course, all can be eliminated by pumping some nasty posions into the animals, and spraying the fruits and vegies with the latest version of ddt.
