this is why there really isn't an issue for pregnant women to eat sushi at restaurants and such (of course not shellfish if it's raw)



I thought the big deal with women who are or could become pregnant and seafood was mercury content.

Yeah, well, that too, but mercury content is something that is monitored very closely in fish. As long as a pregnant woman doesn't eat fish from suspect sources all day, every day, the child will be fine. The mercury thing is very much overrated, in my opinion. There's a huge difference between slight exposure and the extent of exposure as in e.g. the Minamata case in Japan in the 1950s.  The major risk is parasites, really.

I worked in a fish and chips restaurant for a couple years.  We served wild Atlantic cod only.  Going through about 40 pounds of fish a day, five days a week, I would find maybe 1-2 worms a week on average.  Finding them is absolutely revolting and I understand where your coming from.

I come from a commercial fishing family.  I have been told that the older the fish, the more likely it may be to have parasites.

I must not Fear. Fear is the mindkiller . Fear is the little-death that
brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and
through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. ONLY I WILL REMAIN.
