Sorry but boiling doesn't remove chemical contaminants.....it just makes them well-done. Mmmmm. Tasty. A matter of personal opinion since no tests have been done on fish in the Jordan or so it seems yet. Personally I would question touching the water in the Jordan without rubber gloves, let alone eating a fish out of there. The lower the section.....the more sewage and other plants that empty into it. Naaaaassssty.
Oh as for parasites.....all fish have them. Especially perch. Pineview's perch have long thick tapeworms that move slowly inside the body cavity......they look like a strip of yellow fat. But if you watch closely....they will move slowly. Jordanelle has the little white flecks embedded in the fillet itself of the perch. Someone recently took the fillets to a lab.....forgot what parasite they indentified it as but similar to yellow grub.
