Sushi!

[merkaba93]

Some salmon sushi, some smoked, some fresh cooked, some cured, some raw (after being frozen for a week).

And some homemade soy sauce. Yep, pretty proud of my soy sauce.

Any uncooked fish for eating......

Rarely is any commercially available sushi actually "fresh".   It is typically frozen down to a certain temp for a defined priod of time to kill any pathogens.  The FDA suggestion (not a regulation, fyi), is to feeeze down to -31F core temp and hold for 15 hours, or freeze to -31 and hold @ -4F for  24 hours.  The key temp is -31F, which is the minimum threshold to ensure destruction of all pathogens.  Homeowner "deep freezers" are unable to achieve this standard (most achieve a max of -10F), so eat with caution.

I can supply FAS (frozen at sea) sashimi-grade fish from my boat, which are flash frozen to -38 and held for a minimum of 15 hours once core temps have stabilized.  It is labor intensive and expensive to produce, but that is a factor of why the sushi is so expensive.  And the quality is superb.

To the OP - spectacular looking product, btw.  Have really enjoyed your wild game and fish dish posts.

Looks good, but I'll stick with homemade smoked salmon or lox and ceviche for my white meat fish if I don't feel like grilling or deep frying. I do love the all you can eat sushi bar at Four Seasons in Burlington though.

So as a scientist assume you know that freezing fish kills parasites the same way cooking or curing does? Which means your choice to not eat raw fish is based off an emotional fear not a scientific one.
Frozen raw fish is perfectly safe to eat.

Yeah, if frozen properly....

I have had a craving for sushi also, Been experimenting with all sorts of ingredients,crab, shrimp, scallops, smoked salmon raw salmon tuna, avocado, seaweed, Oh and the Wasabi, mines not very good looking but real tasty, a few oysters shooters and craving satisfied.

I usually avoid talking about worms. Never seen them in salmon. Halibut and other rockfish on the other hand are loaded with them. I get a lot of comments on how much meat I leave on a carcass of the halibut around the gills and stomach. That's where I find the most worms. On the other hand they are just another source of protein. . I also love sushi.

I love sushi and I'm really careful about eating raw fish, especially salmonids.

Good strategy.
If you're going to eat raw salmonids, MAKE SURE it was frozen properly.  It had to have been down to -31F core temp to kill all pathogens.  Not possible in most freezer systems!
Although I really enjoy it, I balk at most non-FAS sashimi/sushi as a rule. I just know too much about it now

Nice sushi, looks great.

If it lives in the ocean, it has worms - just a fact of life.  Raw fish is as safe as anything else, I eat it all the time as do millions of other people.
