    #20 – The parasites are generally elected to Congress. On the low end are the welfare recipients.

    >>What about the parasites?

    Most salt-water fish do not have parasites. And most commercially available fish are “flash-frozen” when they’re caught (even “fresh” fish), which kills the parasites.

    So no problem. Order the sashimi, and enjoy!!

    #20, Hopper,

    I’m with you. Maybe when someone comes along with “frozen Breaded sushi sticks” I’ll try it. Until then I stick with stuff that moos, oinks, baas, or clucks for my protein.

    We catch a lot of fish in the inland waterway that are called Drum and they’re loaded with parasites. I just don’t trust raw fish, chicken or pork.

    Ceviche is nothing like sushi. Just because both use raw fish, doesn’t make it similar.

    Anyone who thinks freezing or even salt curing is going to get all parasites has parasites.

    Many bacteria could care less. Many worms have eggs that are tough enough to take it.

    I’m afraid you’re the one with the parasites, son. Would you care to name just a few that can survive a bout with -109F dry ice?

    Guess it all depends upon when you start your timer then:
    -2 hrs from fish being caught = gotta be the fisherman himself to eat that fish in time!
    -2 hrs from fish being killed… entirely possible to find fish like this in fishermen markets (as you pointed out).

    I will agree that Edomae-sushi (what most westerners THINK is sushi) is nothing like ceviche.

    But haya-sushi, especially biwa, is exactly like ceviche as rice vinegar is used to pickle it.

    And there are still dishes around asia that pickle the fish in rice over a long period of time. And that was and still is the original sushi. The fresh stuff with pickled rice is just the most modern incarnation of the dish.

    Rice vinegar is not used to pickle ceviche. Lime or lemon juice is.

    Ok you need to pick a nit and have done so.

    Acid is used in all pickling dishes. Whether that pickling comes from citrus or vinegar is immaterial.

    The idea is that old forms of sushi used an acid to “cook” the fish. And so does ceviche use the same method.

    The idea is one of those that was dreamed up by people despite not having any scoial networking to cross the vast distances between them.
