Daas Yochid, I didn’t mean treif fish as in treif fish. I meant to ask if anyone thinks the gedolim of the previous generations ate worms that were ossur. If those worms were ossur there’s no way the gedolim of the previous generation would have been machshal through ignorance.
Please excuse me, but from all the stuff I hear what Rabbonim said and ossured, I’m skeptical of any stories and ossurim that I hear unless there is a direct mekor of a reliable person who sais he was there and saw/heard the story or thing being ossured.
Now just to make this issue clear for me, I called up my Rav, a very big Chassidishe posek and asked him about these worms. I’m not going to tell you my Rov’s name as I feel everyone should call there own Rov and listen to what they say.
Here’s what my Rov said. Fresh fish is kosher. Frozen, packaged fish needs to be checked for worms. Canned salmon some hold is assur and some mutter, but he didn’t tell me it’s assur (which leads me to think that he thinks it’s mutter, but doesn’t want to posken differently than certain Rabbonim).
So that’s that for me.
