While the experience can be upsetting, finding worms in salmon is surprisingly common.

These “worms” are a parasite named anisakid nematodes, sometimes referred to as herring worms or cod worms. As for their ubiquity, a 2019 article from CBC alleged that “data cited by the B.C. Centre for Disease Control suggests 75 percent of wild Pacific salmon are infected with the parasite.”

Despite how common they are, this hasn’t stopped people from sharing their disgust for the parasite. Last year, a TikTok user went viral after saying she found the parasite in salmon from Whole Foods, and another family sued Costco after they claimed to find the worms in halibut.

Now, another user’s parasite experience has gone viral, this time thanks to TikTok user Rachel Lyn (@msrachellyn).
