• I tried searching but didn't find anything. I have a hogfish I froze a couple weeks ago that had worms in it. I've heard of it in grouper too but have never seen it in my own fish. Can I eat the fish? Do the worms cook out?

  • Cook it up and let us know how it eats. Since no one seems to have tried it think of it as taking one for the team <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

  • You'll be fine. I've never seen it in hogfish but but it is common in other species. You wouldn't even know they were there unless you see them or someone told you.

  • Take them out and prepare the fish Italian style "Pesce con linguini". the worms will be the linguini. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">


    Seriously. I have never seen worms on hogs. As far as I know, once you've frozen and cooked it, there is no risk to your health.

  • I cooked up my last lobster in some pasta tonight, gotta polish off my last 4-5 pounds of mahi and then I'll tackle the hogfish, i'll let everyone know if I become deathly ill or have any other side effects
