What to do if you find a worm in fish?

Chef's answer
Freezing a fish for 24 to 72 hours at minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit or cooking it to 140 degrees F for at least 10 minutes will kill any living worms. Chances are you had a cod fillet sandwich containing tiny worms that had already been killed by freezing, cooking or both.
