I'm a big fan of sashimi and can never put down how delicious they are. I've heard that there are almost no parasites in sea fish, and even if there are, they can't parasitize in the human environment, so is it true that sea fish can be eaten raw?

Not really. The percentage of parasites detected in marine fish is not low. For example, salmon, which is most commonly eaten as sashimi, may carry the heterotrichous nematode, a parasite commonly found in marine fish, which can parasitize humans.

Japanese people love to eat fresh, inadequately processed sashimi, so there are many cases of heterotrichous nematode infection every year. This is already the case with marine fish, and freshwater sashimi tends to be even more dangerous.

So is it still okay to eat raw fish? How should I eat raw fish safely?

Usually, A says, it's still recommended to eat little or no raw food like sashimi. Of course, if you want to eat it, make sure you choose a regular restaurant or buy it from a regular, guaranteed source.

Specified waters of standardized breeding of marine fish will be much less likely to be infected with parasites, and the regular domestic sashimi will be transported through the minus 40 degrees of freezing, this ultra-low-temperature freezing can be effective in killing possible parasites and destroy the eggs, but also comply with the relevant standards of our country and the European Union's treatment of raw fish.

If the raw fish is fresh and from a regular source, has undergone standardized freezing, and has not been contaminated or spoiled during the thawing process, it is basically safe to eat.
