This probably sounds really stupid and all, but forgive meThere is also the concern over parasites and as a rule, only
for not knowing too much about sushi, except that it tastes
good and is raw. I wanted to know if sushi is specially
cleaned and prepaired before being served, or can you buy
love shack">fish such as salmon from the supermarket, clean it and use
that to make your own sushi?
salt-water fish should be used if raw, otherwise, like eel, it
should be cooked first. Salmon, tuna, mackerel are safest, but
do some more research before expanding that list.
In any case, in addition to being of higher quality than supermarkets
achieve, salmon and tuna is flash frozen to kill parasites before being
used for sushi. I don't know but I seem to remember that flash freezing
is required in Japan.
By the way, see yesterday's New YorkTimes; enjoy your tuna before it
goes extinct!
To late or not, every act of change begins with one Pictures of People">person making a personal decision to change. I understand North Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna spawn in the Gulf of Mexico, but I sure hope they spawn elsewhere or they are probably screwed. Ah, heck, we're probably all screwed too.
The best we could hope for is Endangered Species classification, but then there are nations that still feel it's their right to eat whale. Go figure.
