How's that working for ya?

WHOLE FOODS Bethesda - are you reading this? That is disgusting and you need to do some quality control on your products.

That is disgusting. I never knew salmon had worms and will watch out for it in the future... the very far away future as I have now lost my appetite for salmon....

The fish at whole foods bethesda is HORRIBLE. I can't eat any if their fish- smells and taste like garbage

Wash it down with some wasabi. That's what you do when you eat sushi.

OP here.

Put the kids to bed with strict injunction to wake me up if they have stomach pains or diarrhea.

I'm not buying any fish, wild or farmed, for a long, long time - that's how it's worked out for me.

I called the Bethesda Whole Foods fish department to let them know.

You bought an entire salmon? How much was that? A King as $24/lb+ would have been three figures for a weeknight dinner....

It was on sale for $10.99 or something. First time I've ever bought a whole salmon.

Why on earth do I keeping checking this thread? I have to forget all this ever happened otherwise I'll start having psychosomatic symptoms.

$10.99/lbs, obviously.

I baked it for the correct length of time, served it to the kids, and lo and behold after 5 minutes of eating, DD peers at her fish and asks: "what's that moving around on my fish?" Turns out it's a tiny little white wormy thing wiggling about, and there were others like it on her piece of fish.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Apparently according to the internet, we could all be infected with tapeworm, or some nasty parasite. Dead worms wouldn't have mattered, I had to cook it for a longer period (the rest of the fish is in the oven cooking away, it's going to be inedible).

What would you do?

vomit.
that's it. sorry I can't be of more help. Frankly, I'm trying not to vomit my dinner now, which was not salmon.
I have no one to blame either, you clearly listed the title.

+1 and I did have salmon and I'm trying not to heave and/or pass out now

And I thought my frozen pizza is a health risk--I am glad now!

Sorry, OP. I don't know if I would ever get over it.

Now you know why it was on sale.

Go to the drug store and buy enough Pin-X to give everybody a dose. That should prevent any worm infestations in you or your children.

Just bought and cooked and ate some filleted wild salmon from the WF on P street yesterday. Do you all think it's from the same batch? I'm pregnant and have a toddler.
