Some time ago, a gourmet broke the news and attracted the attention of sashimi lovers. The news said that there was no such dish as salmon sashimi in Japan. Although Japanese people like to eat sashimi, they never eat salmon because it has parasites. A stone stirred up a thousand waves, which immediately caused panic in the food industry. Even the Japanese who eat raw food don't eat salmon. Do you dare to challenge the foodies in China?

Haibao specially consulted aquatic experts, watched a lot of scientific experiment videos and consulted a lot of information, and finally found out the truth. The saying that "Japanese people don't eat salmon" was a rumor many years ago. Natural salmon has parasites. This parasite is transmitted to itself from other small fish it eats. We all know that good salmon originated from Norway. Later, in order to export salmon to Japan, Norway's big aquatic products companies began to cultivate salmon without parasites. The cultured salmon is purely artificial feed, and the water quality is strictly controlled. The Norwegian waters are pure, which ensures the healthy meat quality of salmon.

After salmon was exported to Japan, the Japanese tried it and found that it was really an extreme delicacy. They began to fall in love with salmon sashimi. The history of eating salmon in Japan is only more than ten years, but the status of salmon is not as high as that of tuna. The Japanese believe that snapper and tuna are the ingredients for high-grade sashimi.

White raw fish is the main food in high-end restaurants in Japan, and red raw fish like salmon is not seen in high-end restaurants in Kansai, Japan. With the large export of European salmon, the price of salmon has gradually declined, and finally it has reached the table of ordinary people.

According to the survey, more than 90% of salmon from regular channels are imported from Norway. This kind of salmon will be subject to national import and export quarantine, exported to Norway will be quarantined, and imported into China also has strict quarantine standards, so there will be no parasites. The FDA stipulates that fish must be frozen at -35℃ 15 hours or at -20℃ for 7 days before being eaten raw. The European Union requires freezing at -20℃ for more than 1 day. In fact, the CDC of the Health Bureau rarely receives reports of diseases caused by salmon parasites. Compared with parasites, consumers need to worry about whether the fish is frozen during transportation and whether the fish is fresh.

Actually, cooked salmon tastes better. Fried salmon is an important main course in western food, and black pepper salmon is also very famous. There is also grilled salmon with miso soup in the Japanese food. Therefore, if you are really afraid of parasites, you can eat them fried, which is also very good.

The most important thing to note is that there is a fake salmon in the market, the scientific name is "rainbow trout", which is a kind of freshwater fish. This kind of fish looks very similar to salmon, but it can still be seen by careful discrimination. There is one of the simplest ways to distinguish, which is cheap! Imported salmon prices will not be too cheap! Rainbow trout will be very cheap!
