Halakhah for Chullin 191:17
ר' יהודה אומר
He was only cutting away the surface [of the nerve], so Samuel said to him, 'Go down deeper; had I not seen you, you might have given me forbidden meat to eat'.
Sefer HaChinukh
And [it] is practiced in every places and at all times by males and by females. And one who transgresses it and eats a [whole sciatic nerve], even if it is less than an olive's-worth - or eats a kazayit (the size of a large olive) from a large sciatic nerve - is lashed (see Chullin 96a).
