You will still eat the worms, not that it is necessarily a bad thing. When I go fish in the south of Norway I see these worms in maybe 1 out of 10 fish I catch.

You will still eat the worms, not that it is necessarily a bad thing. When I go fish in the south of Norway I see these worms in maybe 1 out of 10 fish I catch. I personally don't eat them but I don't think it's unhealthy as long as they are dead. Considering health and seafood, I'd be much more worried about is eating Norwegian farmed salmon, that stuff is poison [1]. The amount of toxins has not go down since this article was warning Norwegians. I never touch it myself and the wild fish you catch close to the mares are monsters compared to the fish that does not consume leftovers from feeding the salmon.

I read something recently about AquaStorm, which aims to move fish farms out of the fjords and into deeper sea water, with the purported benefits of avoiding sea lice and disease. Do you have an insider opinion on this?

  I'm not an insider, just a Norwegian that consumes seafood :) But that might help if they reduce the drugs they put in the feed. However I think what needs to happen is that they stop poisoning public waters and move everything to highly controlled on-shore facilities. I would still be worried about heavy metals etc as the feed contains left-overs from other fish like bones (high in toxins) and fatty tissues that humans don't want to eat. They take the "role" of the apex predator except for us and it's typical that the higher you are in the food chain the more toxins build up.

    As far as I know, most ( or at least All current export I know of ) Farmed Salmon are Deep Sea type Farmed Salmon. The idea is instead of having the possibility of them going to fresh water to spawn, they are kept at specific region of deep sea and greatly reduce the chances of getting parasites. So I am not entirely sure what the article is suggesting. May be for Salmon that is not intend to be served as sushi? Because Freshwater Salmon doesn't fit that bill.
