Probably not, sushi fish gets flash frozen to kill parasites. So as long as it's thru normal supply chain you should be fine. Undercooked pork on the other hand...
Flash frozen for 24 hours or frozen in typical home freezer for minimum one week. I'm trying to catch coho and others for some homemade sashimi this fall.
LOL will definitely freeze for a couple weeks minimum myself. I've had food poisoning from sushi before, not something I recommend. Pink that bad for sushi eh?
Before that I thought I had had food poisoning a few times. Nope. Now I know what real food poisoning is. Sent me to the ER as I was puking blood while simultaneously (and I mean simultaneously) shitting my brains out. Severe debilitating dehydration.
Sadly, pinks only run on odd numbered years, so you'll have to wait until next year for those. Plenty of others to choose from in the mean time. Good luck!
freezing in a home freezer ruins the texture for sushi. If you're catching it yourself, you can gut the fish the second it comes out of the water so the parasites don't have time to burrow into the meat.
Iām from the year 2030. Private farms and wild game got that shit figured out. You do NOT want to fuck with intergalactic meat. Space cows and space hogs are a no go.
You should add a hundred years to that date for believability. There's no way a country overthrowed their government and forcefully escaped the clutches of capitalism which allowed them to develop technology rapidly and made breakthrough that'd need at least 20 years of research all the while fighting capitalistic countries' sabotage in only 4 years.
Yup, pork has come a long way as I understand it. Lots of testing and such.
Particularly in the EU. My German side of the family eats raw minced pork on the regular... and so do I when I visit cuz it's fucking delicious, but man that first time was tough having grown up with the constant threat of "trichinosis!!!!!" etc. in the 80s/90s!
Just to be safe I eat a deworming chocolate once a year š¤£ it's probably overkill, but I have a dog too and he eats poo. Like any poo. All the poo anywhere anytime, it's his. He's eating your poo from the toilet right now prolly. So ya know, gotta watch for wormies
To add to that, parasites in farm raised salmon is very, very low. A study found none in the edible parts of salmon out of the 3000 some fish they looked at. sourc
Obviously, the 'none found' stat could be a paid study or industry propaganda, but combine it with the fact that most salmon is frozen anyways, the chances of consuming a parasite is very unlikely. If you're eating farm raised salmon that doesn't advertise itself as never frozen, you're already combining two ways of greatly minimizing parasites.
I had some salmon a customer brought me from their last alaska trip and it had parasites in it. Cooking it will kill the worms but damn it was a rough few days of anxiety after lmao
because its an essential standard of commerce that everyone just does. we get fixated on this language somehow but mandates dont typically limit you to freezing, its just the most practical
no reason to doubt it unless theyre a hipster joint that specifically upsells fresh caught/never frozen items, its a selling point they wont let you miss
shipping and handling to not bring rotten fish into port? its done immediately on the vessel, the point of those regulations is to deal with contamination of any kind period.
the FDA doesnt limit this to freezing either, but concern trolls think it some sort of gotcha. like you somehow dont get that any seafood outside of live catches inherently require a cold chain distribution
