Flash frozen fish shipped in dry ice. Flash freezing kills any parasites or nasties in the fish and you can still have some quality cuts of fish

All natural food is safe to eat raw what do you fucking think we ate before we discovered fire?

>>15899183
depends where you buy it from, if it was ground a long time ago then no it's not safe.

>> No.15899212

All flash frozen fish will be safe to eat, the issue isn't the parasites, its that what you buy in the store won't be "sushi grade."

what does this mean exactly, is it even a real thing

thats why you can only find truly fresh fish in a coastal area which you are supposed to cook very well, most fish are flash frozen right there on the boat as theyre caught

>> No.15899251

It's all deep frozen here... most of it's deep frozen on the boat.

sushi grade isnt a real thing its literally only marketing shit, youre supposed to freeze fish anyway to kill parasites which would already make it "sushi grade"

Large, intact fish. Minimal scarring and healthy. Mostly only for varieties of tuna and salmon.

>> No.15899268

>>15899213

I put it in quotes because "sushi grade" isn't a legal grade given by a regulatory body like beef is, but sushi is made using the highest quality fish. The stuff you get in the supermarket is a step down from highest. If you want the best of the best you need to either go to a fishmarket or a fishmonger, which in the Midwest I doubt you have access to. You can make sushi from what you can get, but it won't be like sushi from an East/West coast restaurant.

>>15899268
thanks for the non troll response. i'll check the quality of the local market, i know they sell some at the farmer's market. maybe i can figure out where the sushi restaurants get their supply.

You know what's scary? I bet all the fish you've ever eaten was cooked to an internal temperature of 130 tops, not enough to kill bacteria.

It means legally fit for consuming raw. It must be frozen at subzero temperatures for a given length of time. Nothing to do with "marketing".

When you say “middle of the Midwest” are you within easy driving distance of St. Louis?
http://www.bobsseafoodstl.com/
Bobs supplies lots of local restaurants , including sushi shops.
Call ahead to check for availability if you want something specific. If you want something for sushi, don’t beat around the bush, ask for it specifically, they know what they have that is safe and what isn’t.
If you are driving more than an hour, grab a styrofoam cooler in your way and they will ice pack your stuff for you.

All your fucking fish has been flash-frozen per regulations, sushi-grade doesn't mean anything.
