Worms in fish
 

Apparently there are on average 5 parasitic round worms for every 3.2Kg of fillets of white fish sold in the UK. The maximum amount of worms allowed in fish is 5 for every 1 kilo. And only worms that are 3mm in diameter and 1cm in length are counted :shock:

Pud :twisted:

I wish I hadn't just read that!

I guess it's all added protein... :?

:barf:

Thank you, Pud...you always know how to make my day!!!

:barf:

Too late, Pud, too late! By some strange coincidence, just about everyone who met at the bar before this evening's show was tucking in to fish-finger sandwiches. I tried to inform them as to the error of their ways, but to no avail ...

It depends what make of fish fingers they are. Just like sausages, fish fingers only have to contain a certain amount of fish to be technically called a fish finger and out of that only a certain percentage has to be fillet, the rest being made up of reconstituted fish.

Pud :twisted:

Or reconstituted worms :lol:

So, what you're saying is that if they were cheap fish fingers then perhaps there were pretty good odds of each fish finger not having any worms in it?

I'm sure they all feel a lot better at that news ... :twisted:

Dave

you learn something new everyday..

They were rather tasty fish finger sandwiches last night. The best I've had in a long time worms and all!

I agree, rabblerouser, they were jolly tasty, so :-P to you, Daveake!!

P.S. it was nice to meet you both at last!

I thought the fish finger sandwiches were rather good, a bit of worm or not they were soo good. Glad to see th ususl suspects last night and to meet some new faces xx

And here are the infamous fish-finger sandwiches, with our without the Phocanema decipiens protein supplement ;-)

Lol British fast food never fails to surprise me :))

It was brill to meet some like minded folk. It looks like we have more than meat in common! So bring on the fish fingers!

And worms apparently...

Please remind me to skip fish products in December...on the other hand...to be in England and not eat fish and chips is a CRIME...so whatever...

does that statistic include fish caught with worms on hooks??? lol

Who the hell took the photo of my hand holding the sauce?!! Bloody hell, I know we're a strange bunch sometimes, but really!!

Sarah ... how do you know that's your hand????

Well me, obviously, since I posted it! :roll:

But what's so strange about your hand? :lol:

Dave :twisted:

I'd recognise my hand anywhere..... that firm grip, those painted nails!

I'm intrigued now Dave..... there's obviously more photo than my hand holding the sauce?

Oh, if you insist ;-)

Here they are :-)

These are of Bath, our group and of course some fish fingers ;-).

Dave

I find myself somewhat respecting someone who felt the need to photograph a fish finger sandwiche.

Well we weren't allowed to photograph Meat, so fish was the next best thing :twisted:

Dave

Excellent photos Dave..... now about these intellectual property rights..... should you be contacting Heinz ..... ? ;)

If they do ask for money, the closest they'll to mine is when I buy a tin of their beans so I can fart in their general direction :twisted:
