It's presumably wild caught fish. Fish live in the ocean. So do parasites. Now, if they were LIVE parasites in a canned product, that's some crazy shit
-
I used to work in a fish market that processed wild caught fish fresh every day. Nearly every single fish we cut had some worms in it. Cod was the worst, salmon was middle of the road, flat fish like flounder seemed to be the least wormy but still had it. Maybe they were just harder to spot idk.

Can we talk about your experience with swordfish, if any? I’ve heard horror stories about massive worms in swordfish
-
I wasn't skilled enough to be trusted with swordfish so I can't attest to that unfortunately lol

Is this unusual? I thought wild-caught fish often (usually?) had parasitic worms in it, and that they were generally not dangerous to humans, at least as long as the fish was cooked. There's a video I saw, which I don't suggest looking up, in which a chef explains that he knows the fish is fresh if the worms are still moving.
Usually farmed fish, or wild fish caught near fish farms, are the ones riddled with parasites.
Pretty sure parasites are widely present among wild fish. Not defending fish farms, but parasites aren't only present on fish farms
Pretty sure that's a selection bias, since most fish that are eaten - or would otherwise be examined for parasites - are farm-raised fish.
I suppose it depends on what type, and if they are hazardous to humans.
Worms- ok. Worms that also affect us - not OK.
