Going to try the roasted fish thing. It might keep my brother from eating them raw. Thanks for the tip!
Back before I was a solo tripper, I was in a group of 6 that made our first trip to the BWCA.
We camped one night where a feeder stream was emptying into the lake. I started catching 2-3 lb SMB
every other cast. The guys built a fire and started cleaning fish.
I was so into catching them, the other guys started frying them up and eating them before I came back to camp. I ended up cooking my own dinner.
Fast forward to the next day and one by one as my buddies came back after using the bathroom they said they had WORMS in their stool!

Turns out the guy who was frying the fish hadn't cooked them properly. I was the ONLY one who didn't have this issue.
I've NEVER forgotten that. I cook my fish thoroughly the same as you would poultry.
If you brother ever gets worms, he will too.
