Ship-eating sea worm could soon be sold by supermarkets as sustainable fish alternative
A ship-eating sea worm could soon be sold by supermarkets as a sustainable alternative to other fish products.
Researchers at Cambridge and Plymouth Universities are growing the slimy white mollusc with the aim of farming it for consumers in the UK.
Known as the shipworm, teredo worm, or tamilok in the Philippines - where people eat it raw dipped in coconut vinegar with salt and chilli - it is different in that it does not have a shell.
