The sashimi in restaurants here is the same fish that I can buy in a retail store that sells fish for sashimi. The market buys the fish from the same wholesale distributor that the restaurant buys from. I live in the San Francisco Bay area, and I would imagine that the same is true in SoCal. I also eat salmon that my son catches, and I consider it okay to eat if the flesh is firm and not mushy. According to a friend who owns a sushi restaurant in Monterrey County, this is the proper criteria for safe salmon.


Firm, not fleshy, ill remember that. Thanks.

How often do you eat the pre frozen fish from the market

Hi Viking,

Welcome to the forum!

I see that you appear to have some misconceptions. Here`s a link with a lot of posts where I explain more details about this diet:-

http://www.rawpaleodietforum.com/important-info-for-newbies/

First of all, "sushi-grade" fish is a complete waste of time. It is hideously expensive and is usually prefrozen, which is not good. I will accept prefrozen grassfed beef and the like if I have to,  but would not consider  buying prefrozen fish/sllefish unless I am starving and have no other option, as freezing really destroys the taste of raw seafood.

Also, avoid all farmed seafood like the plague! No matter how "organic" they may claim to be,  such farms almost always feed their fish on processed supplements like grains or other rubbish, so that their fish are unhealthier by far than wildcaught seafood. Always buy wildcaught raw seafood. That is, I have only once come across a fish-farm which was genuinely of high-quality, mentioned by someone here on rawpaleoforum.

Ignore Fukushima etc. concerns. Like Iguana said, the ocean is way too diluted for radioactivity etc. to matter. Incidentally, did you know that the human body contains a microscopic amount of uranium in its body- in other words, microscopic amounts of uranium in the world`s oceans isn`t going to be a problem.



I read all the freezing foods info, however, I just cannot eat raw seafood that has not been prefrozen, I have dealt with parasites before and I DO NOT, DO NOT want to deal with that ever again. millions of Japaense and east asian people eat pre frozen fish every day, so I just cant see the harm in eating pre froze fish.


so I think were getting off topic here, am I going to be ok eating pre frozen wild caught fish preparing it myself in my house, keeping it in my fridge for 3 days at a time?

Hello, new here, I suppose you can identify me as a "Recent convert".



I just had one question on raw fish (sashimi) now I have no problem going into a high quality/ high end sushi restaurant  and ordering raw fish from the sushi bar, I suppose its because I "trust" the expert (sushi chef) but I have some slight, very slight, reservations on purchasing wild caught, sushi grade, pre frozen salmon /yellowfin tuna from a supposed reliable source (santa monica seafood in costa mesa if anyone else here lives in so cal)


Is there any difference in purchasing sushi grade fish by the pound as oppose to ordering sushi from a sushi restaurant? does the restaurant do any final preparations to the fish that we dont normally do? I just have this ridiculous and rather unfounded idea that im going to get sick from parasites, not because of the quality of the fish (which I stated is probably even better than most sushi restaurants, given their fish is farmed raised most of the time) but rather because I am doing the slicing and dicing myself, and I am somehow foregoing a crucial step. Perhaps this is just normal anxiety one gets before going raw paleo, are my concerns valid? do any of you guys eat raw sushi grade fish at home that you make yourself?


the only reason I am inquiring about this is because raw fish is going to be the main bulk of my protein sources, and I want to make sure im not alone and that other people prepare their own raw fish at home and im not doing something revolutionary, ha.


thanks!
