Slicing of Fillets as an Aid in Detection and Removal of Codworms from Atlantic Cod Fillets

Slicing cod fillets longitudinally into slices [Formula: see text] inch (13 mm) thick can increase the efficiency of candling cod fillets for codworms to over 95%. The increase is greater in the larger fillets than in the smaller fillets if sliced. If fillets are not sliced the candling efficiency decreases with increasing size of fillets.
