Title: Raw fish organs
Post by: Coatue on February 02, 2011, 04:18:00 pm: I was thinking of ordering whole wild fresh salmon so I can eat the organs...is this a good idea?

The head is the most celebrated part.. Organs least.

You'll probably increase risk of parasite infection a lot if you eat the organs.

Parasite infection? That's quite worrisome could you explain how or why the parasites would be in the organs? Also would freezing kill them?

I would imagine freezing them would cause more infections later on down the line. I never got an infection from eating never been frozen organs anyway. I was so scared of parasites, till I ate my first raw meat. I guess I was lucky though, cause I dived into raw 100%, hadn't eaten anything but raw dairy for a month before I tried the flesh. Come to think of it, it was about six months in before I tried liver, and the livers were totally carelessly rotted and from poultry. Oh, wait, I ate fresh fish organs about three months in, but I had already eaten fish skin for a month.

That's the gallbladder, full of bile (which is green). Tastes awful. Definitely not good to eat.

I eat the eyes and brain, yum :p. The only part I dislike picking apart on the fish head is the teeth.

I bet the Chinese have a medicinal use for it.
