Sushi!

Just out of curiosity, if you were to fillet paper thin, would you be able to see worms? Or are there some that are invisible to the naked eye?

There are worms visible to the naked eye, maybe an inch long or so.  I don't think I have ever seen a salmon without at least a few.  I would bet there are smaller ones as well, but don't know for sure as I've never taken the time to find out.  The worms in fish can't live in the human body so it doesn't matter if you eat a ton of it fresh off your hook.

If you have eaten fish, you have eaten plenty of worms.

You sure about that?

Whoa, that's not accurate.

They can these guys I fished with ate raw fish on a commercial boat they all got worms lost like 30 pounds until they talked to each other after the season and figured it out

They lost 30 pounds?!

Skillet, you gotta hook me up with some raw stuff! 

[Skillet]

Nasty. I lost a bunch of weight the first year I fished, but that's just because I was getting to be a fatass before I made the career switch.  I had plenty to lose.

What happened here? I really just wanted to get a conversation started about soy sauce really. "oh wow merkaba93, you make soy sauce? how does one do that". And I say well let me tell you......

But speaking of raw food. 'Cause ya'll brought it up........Like everything in life there are certain risks that we, as full grown human adults, deem acceptable. Driving your car to work. Going out into the wilderness with a gun. That time you had unprotected sex with someone you didn't know all that well.....

But with raw food so many people are paranoid. Where do ya draw the line at what's an acceptable risk and what's not. For me, raw egg (from a reputable source aka small farm grown) totally fine. And if you guys ever go out to eat and have some dish with homemade mayo or aoli, ya just ate raw egg. Raw milk, meh. Not worth it. Undercooked bear, hell no. Undercooked chicken, no way. Med Rare grocery store steak, probably not worth it to me, if it's been mechanically tenderized. Undercooked pork, meh it's not as dangerous as it once was, but still a good idea to keep your ground pork cooked to 160. Oysters. Scallops. Tuna. Salmon. No problems. If yall are in Seattle go to the Walrus and the Carpenter in Balard. Amazing restaurant. Bonus points if you know where that name came from.....

The two big worries that you all missed....
Eating Sushi too frequently that has tuna in it and the potential for mercury poisoning.
And your dogs getting salmon poisoning. While you have 6 kings being filleted and vacuum packed those dogs can get sneaky. That sucks! 900$ later ya learn your lesson.

So note to self, might not post that photo of Venison Heart Tartare I was gonna make.........Ya'll just ruined my day!

Haha merk
you'll learn quick that well meaning threads go sideways on here more often than not. Keep up your posts, you're doing great.

PS: yes let's see the soy sauce recipe.

I can't give away all my secrets, just like hunting spots, fishing spots, mushroom spots, recipes are semi secret.
The process of making soy is pretty cool. You steam soy beans until they are tender. Then you toast wheat berries (luckily we have some friends that are wheat farmers), and then run them through a mill to break them apart. Then you inoculate the mix of soy beans and wheat with an aspergillus fungus and incubate for 3 days. Then you mix that together with water (well or distilled) and sea salt (no additives) and then let it ferment for at least 6 months. A year is better.

Nobody is trying to ruin your posts, the food looks excellent. Everyone that tells me they don't like wild meat, I tell them they just don't know how to cook it. Yes, we got a little sidetracked on the worm discussion.

I was being sarcastic. And dramatic. "you ruined my day" or "you ruined my life" is something I probably say once a day.
