I was out fishing on the Daily Double on 02/21/02 and was lucky enough to score one of the two legal halibut of the day, of course my first thought was Man this is going to make a great meal for my girlfriend and I.

I cut the fish myself and took all the care of a proud hunter about to partake in the glory of fresh caught fish. My approach to halibut cooking is simple yet delicious, I marinated the fish in lemon for about 15 minutes, dipped it in egg then into a batter that consisted of; Contadina Italian bread crumbs, flour,garlic salt,pepper, and a dash of crushed red pepper (for that added bite!). I proceeded to fry the fish in a few table spoons of Star Extra Virgin olive oil, and all was going well until one of the last tail portions.

My girlfriend, (whom I just recently coaxed into the world of fish consumption) was standing next to me while I was frying the fish, and to my horror up wiggles a worm out of the fish, It happened so fast I let out a quick yelp, which of course led my girlfriend to say "what's wrong?", well being the quick thinker that I am I told Her "Oh Nothing" and proceeded to remove the worm from the scene! The worm was about an inch long and brownish in color. So I was just wondering if any of you guys have had these worms "magically appear" and if you know if they are harmless, harmful, or just added protein.

Thanks for reading this far!!!!!!!!
