Earthworms are an excellent food, if from an uncontaminated source.

I recall reading that a diet mainly composed of white fish is very unbanced. Unlike consumption of a worm, the internal organs are not being consumed, so many of the minerals, carotene etc are lacking. It is a good source of protein as a diet supplement, or as a treat.

As DickB said, everything in moderation.
