Parasite/Worm ???

Alex, why do you think I gave it to you, I thought those where Phillipino delicacies... 

Hey Bill,

I was actually complaining I only found one! My family had to draw rice sticks to see who was going to get the price morsel

i guess these little ones are nothing compared to the stuff they blend and make the contenders drink (or eat) on fear factor...

When an "Old Timer" showed me how to cook stripers years ago he explained that it was important to take the fillets a step further by cutting them into smaller pieces, approx. 2-3" X 4-5-6", and then slicing,"filleting",  these chunks into into 1/4" thick cutlets. This way you can hold them up to a light source and clearly see any worms that might be embedded in the flesh and cut them out. This extra step has another plus - the thin pieces, when battered up in flour, egg and fresh sour dough bread crumbs, cooks really fast in a hot pan with an 1/8" of oil and everything cooks evenly. So, just take the extra step and enjoy!  Tom
