If you see this parasite in your fish, THROW THE FISH AWAY!!! The white sacs are full of a milky fluid full of parasites and infest the fish all through the muscle.
This parasite, called henneguya salminicola, does not affect the fishes health until one day it suddenly dies. Definitely wouldn't suggest eating that fish & risking the same fate..
You've been warned!
According to:
VII. Human Health Significance
Although the cysts in the flesh of the affected fish is visually unappealing when present in large numbers, there are NO human health concerns associated with Henneguya.
-Alaska Department of Fish and Game (Alaska is where fishes affected with Henneguya is mostly found)
