The habit gets a new name.
Parasites in fish fillets are surprisingly common, with up to 75% of wild-caught fish having them. Some commenters think it’s normal, while others are grossed out. Publix has policies to prevent parasites from going on display, but it’s not always effective. The parasite is harmless as long as the fish is properly frozen and cooked. And, of course, plants are still the best option, according to PETA.
Parasites are the new seafood seasoning.
