More on those tapeworms

Evidently sensing a potential crisis, the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute has posted a two-part response to reports of the discovery of a type of tapeworm in wild Alaska salmon.

Nice to know adfg is alive and working to f+&k over Alaska fishermen without contacting asmi

Those parasites are in Asian fish and Russian fish that aren't labeled

And this was just a phishing experiment to screw over our markets and adfg and the state of afuckkn Alaska just helped out

The tapeworms themselves are such a non issue that the issue borders on fake news. However, the story is getting picked up by major news feeds and will definitely hurt us a lot.

At least a credible news organization didnt run it. Just CNN and the Alaska Dispatch, two of the worst news agency's in America right now

Tapeworms are hardly a 'non issue'. You see, smoking and drying do not kill cysts. Cooking and proper freezing do. Ask, how many times have I popped fresh salmon in the smoker? You are correct, IMO, that it will hurt.

"At least a credible news organization didnt run it. Just CNN and the Alaska Dispatch, two of the worst news agency's in America right now"

Well, Fox (and a long list of others) has it up. Is THAT tower of reporting credible enough for you? You guys crack me up...

This isn't new information. My doctor has been saying for years to never eat raw salmon due to tapeworms. Though you may like it raw, eat it at your own risk.
