But seriously we catch a lot of salt water fish in Florida that do commonly have worms. I personally will not eat fish if I know there are worms, but I probably have consumed fish that did, but thank goodness I never knew. I find them mostly in Speckeld Trout, but have found them in Grouper, Amberjack, and even Redfish, and probaly a lot more I can't recall. I usually just cut out that part of the filet unless the whole fish is infested. Sounds kinda gross doesn't it? I know if I was cooking fish and worms started coming out of the fish that sucker is going to Davey Jones Locker, STAT!

Can't argue with that.

I shot rabbits that had worms under the skin (before the first frost), and I was told that was OK, but I chucked them!!

Stomach didn't agree with "That was OK".

Haha.  I like all the comments everyone has shared.  Didn't know this post would go this far....

-Bear, thanks for the info about the worms.  I pretty much found the same information online, it's all good to know and the more I know the better I feel.

-Venture, Amen; there are starving people all over the world.  Its a good thing i'm not trying to win a beauty pageant nor' am I on dual survivor.  If I were in a situation where I had to eat them I'm sure I           would.  Anything tastes good when you're hungry enough.

- African Meat, YES I DO mean that!  Times ten!

- Alaskan Bear, Very true i'm sure we've all eaten them plenty of times in a lot of things.....  

Now I can agree with who ever doesn't like the MES with a window for one reason and one reason only.  But I'm sure I'll be back to eating salmon and other fish again in the near future.  Thanks all!

For the insects in flour:  Use lots of course black pepper, it makes them disappear!

Bear, we only ate the rabbits we shot in the winter and early spring when it was really cold.  Only cottontails, the jack rabbits went to the hog farmers (illegal now).

Good luck and good smoking.
 
Not me...if I can see them crawling around I ANT eating it...Period .My BIL ate some goat in Afganistain and 2 yrs later the Dr`s took a 18 in. worm out of him as big around as a cigar.

PA's first cottontail season used to open around the 1st of November, and sometimes we would not have had our first frost. I don't know if that is still the season.

Then it would run until after Thanksgiving, open again at Christmas until late January. Early in that first season is when we'd find worms.
