Does raw oysters, sushi, sashimi, and poke contain parasites?
I know that eating raw oysters are very popular in the US, Asia, and Mexico but doesnt it contain parasites? I also love sushi, sashimi, and poke but how can I reassure that they are safe to eat at the restaurant? Is there a special equipment or fridge that I should look out for next to the sushi chef because the chef always prepare the food in front of you. Thanks
There are two things, parasites and mercury.
The levels of mercury in the ocean have made it so that you don't want to live on fish alone. The amount that most people eat shouldn't really be a problem.
Parasites are always a risk. Not a very big one though. I eat sushi with glee often and have never had a problem. I would stick with a place that has been around a while, keeps a clean house (store), and has a good reputation. Your bodies immune system can handle the rest.
Enjoy!
