Raw fish does have a chance of parasites if you eat it straight, but to Suzy and Jodi – that’s what the wasabi is for – it’s so strong it basically sterilises the fish.

Do you really think an ancient culture who have been eating this stuff for centuries would not have worked out how to avoid getting sick from it?

some one i know is taking biology in collage and he told me that sushi with raw fish in it is bad. sushi with raw fish HAS WORMS IN IT!!!!!! the fish eat the worms, and then we eat the fish. you cant kill the worms unless you cook it. these worms WILL KILL YOU. they will infest your body and will grow out you mouth, nose, and but. trust me on this. DO NOT EAT SUSHI!!!!!! THIS IS REALLY GROSE!!!!! I AM NOT JOKING!!!!

Thanks for the clarification. I’m so glad I found this page because my sister was just insisting that Sushi meant raw fish, as I sat and ate my California rolls… She said I wasn’t eating Sushi, and I told her it indeed was Sushi….. Thanks to this page, I/WE now understand the whole “Sushi” concept better. I, personally, don’t care for the Sushi w/ the raw fish, but I LOVE the veggie kind.

I agree. However, living in a landlocked state, that is known for Rocky Mountain Oysters, and not it’s cultural cuisine, it is hard to find suitable sushi. Many of my friends and coworkers get that look of “I’d rather regurgitate in my mouth, than try that”. But alas, I am waiting nine months before my next indulgence of sushi and sashimi due to the dangers that raw fish and fish in general have on the little person growing inside of me (mercury, being the main one, but shrimp, who do not have the longevity as tuna, might be alright for an indulgence). So drink a Kirin and enjoy a Nigiri or two for this fellow sushi lover.

I know exactly what you mean, i love sushi and always try to get my friends to try them but they keep saying they don’t eat raw fish, I keep saying there’s more to sushi than raw fish but I can’t convince them no matter what.

i didn’t know sushi didn’t mean raw fish
i always associated the two and couldn’t figure out the cooked fish/no fish in sushi dishes
thank you for the enlightenment
