It isn't likely that termites are the cause of the sawdust. It would be more likely that it is some sort of ant or beetle. If you continue to see evidence that something is going on, consult with a professional.

Did people put sawdust on there breakfast kippers to improve the taste?
Sawdust is made from wood which contains cellulose- cellulose is not digestible by the human body (unless we had special microbes in our gut like termites) So I can't imagine doing this for flavor but perhaps it may have been useful for preservation of the fish?

How can you separate sawdust from gravel?
Place the sawdust and gravel mixture in water and stir. Let it sit for a time - the gravel will fall to the bottom and the sawdust will float on the top. Density of gravel is greater than water and density of sawdust (wood) is less than water. The layer of sawdust can be carefully removed by skimming it off water's surface or by pouring gravel and sawdust through a series of mesh screens of varying size (the screens can be used with dry or wet mixture)I would use the difference in density of the two materials. A simple method would be to have a stream of the mixed materials poured from a higher elevation to a lower, with a stream of air blowing across the stream. Being less dense, the sawdust will be blown to one side, the gravel will drop straight down. Of course, you COULD just drop the mixed materials into water- sawdust floats, gravel does not. Sawdust will also burn, where gravel will not. Roasting the gravel at a heat above the combustion point of sawdust will cause it to ignite, burning the sawdust away, leaving gravel. Of course, if you have plenty of time, just turn a few termites loose on the mix- they will eat wood- but not gravel!
Will saw dust dissolve in water?
Most people think of something being soluble if it will dissolve in water. Sawdust doesn't dissolve in water. In general the cellulose and other structures that compose sawdust are not particularly soluble until they are broken down chemically - which is not really dissolving. Once they have been broken down, the resulting products can be dissolved - but at that point you aren't really dissolving sawdust anymore, you are dissolving the products of the chemical reactions that have broken down the sawdust.
What is made of wood that can't be sawed?
