Sushi Help?

Question

How can you not get parasites from eating sushi? Cuz i wanna try sushi so bad, but you get parasites from the raw fish and stuff thats in it..

Answer 1

Quality control and a strict hygiene is a must in any food store. Therefore if you found ants happily crawling around or using outdated sauces, do avoid the store at all costs

Raw fish does contain parasites but if caught in contaminated waters. River fish has a higher chance of containing parasites if pollution has already occured upstream. However ocean fish is less likely to be contaminated as generally fishes are caught miles away from land.

Sushi is basically vinegared rice with toppings on the top and you eat it with soy sauce and a bit of wasabi. If you wanted to ty it for the first time, there are several cooked items that you might like to have before graduating to raw fishes. Items such as egg (tamago). boiled octopus (tako) and tempura sushi.

Enjoy

Answer 2

Go to a reputable sushi restaurant, and you'll be fine.

There can be problems with eating raw foods, however, as long as you're eating at a good restaurant who know what they are doing, you will be fine.

If you walk in and smell fish, turn around and walk out. Good fish will not smell fishy. Odd i know, but if it does, it's not fresh or has not been propoperly stored

Answer 3

Sushi is not necessarily raw fish.

In Japanese cuisine, sushi is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients, including fish (cooked or uncooked) and vegetables. Outside of Japan, sushi is sometimes misunderstood to mean the raw fish by itself, or even any fresh raw-seafood dishes In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi, as sashimi is the raw fish component, not the rice component. The word sushi itself comes from an outdated grammatical form of a word that is no longer used in other contexts; literally, sushi means "it's sour."

Go ahead try it out.

Answer 4

There is no way you can get parasites from Sushi. Since Sushi refers to the vinegar  and rice mixture. Not the raw fish which is called Sashimi. And the fish is EXTREMELY fresh so people still do not get parasites from Sushi when the is Sashimi involved.

Answer 5

If you go to a japanese store like Marukai or Mitsuwa the sashimi there is very good and high quality. Even some of the 99 ranch markets have them. That is the cheapest way. If you don't want to cut up the sashimi yourself then just go to a well known japanese restaurant and you'll be fine. Other than that, the freshest I've eaten is when I caught my own =)

halfbloodprincess -- Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Good one!!!

As for you, Forever Left Eye, get this straight, okay? The Japanese have been eating sushi for hundreds of years. Sushi was taken with them to Hawaii 170 years ago and to California about 160 years ago. About 8 million billions of tons of the stuff have been snarfed down by 'sushi whores' (love that) and us 'sushi queens'. Don't worry. Eat it. You'll LOVE it.

Answer 7

Why raw sushi? Some sushi has cooked meat instead of the raw meat. All I can say is to make sure the raw meat was cleaned and if it was ever sitting out.

Answer 8

Dont make it yourself...thats it (Unless of course you are skilled in making you're own sushi)...the incident of becoming sick from sushi from a sushi bar is more rare than someone becoming sick from a hamburger at a restaurant...it is a myth that people get sick from sushi...you are MUCH more likely to get sick from parasites in lunchmeat from your grocery store than you are from sushi
