CONCORD (CBS SF) -- A Costco customer in Concord posted video of what they say was a parasite squirming around inside a package of salmon from the store.
The video was posted to Facebook three days ago, after the customer saw what he called a "living parasite" in the first package of fish he picked up.
A Costco employee said the parasite-looking animals are not uncommon, and are typically roundworms.
Shoppers in the market for fresh fish can expect that they may be part of the package deal.
