    I’ve been tempted to try it, and supposedly all Atlantic salmon is farm-raised, which is safe. But without a package clearly stating “farm raised” I wouldn’t risk it.

    Would love someone to correct me if this isn’t the case.

  2. How can a “Product of Chile” be Atlantic ? is it a salman specie ?

    No that is not sushi grade. Cook that through before you eat it.

    “Sushi grade” is not a regulated term. The most important thing for salmon is that you freeze it. Freeze for 7 days and that will kill any parasites. Then any salmon will be sushi edible.

    I ate fish fresh as sashimi while in Alaska in a river. While delicious and fun, I had no idea what could lie ahead. Save that for another day.

    Enjoy your fish!

    Fishing for Atlantic salmon is prohibited in the U.S., so this is farm raised, which means it should be safe. In addition, I’d love to hear from all the paranoid people on here how they can get a fish from chile to his local Walmart without ever freezing it.

    OP – I regularly eat raw salmon/ make my own sashimi ( Check post history)

    I avoid Chilean farm raised salmon and only get Norwegian, Canadian and Scottish farm raised salmon, I don’t use salmon filets that are in plastic like you posted, I go to my fish market or wholefoods / fresh market and buy the filets they have in the case on ice. I also bring my own cooler with icepacks to keep it as cold as possible during the trip home.

    Ive been doing this at least once or twice a week for almost 3 years, never been ill.

    If you freeze for 7 days you will be fine

    Any salmon is safe, as long as you first freeze it at a cold enough temp for the correct amount of time. I don’t recall the numbers but the info is out there. Enjoy!

    Throw it in your freezer for a few weeks or a blast freezer (way colder) for a few days and it’ll be good for sashimi.

    If it looks good, smells good and is farm raised, I cure and eat it.

  11. I only use flash frozen. Flash frozen will kill any parasites that may exist. I only use flash frozen tuna also. I just make homemade sushi so that’s my 2 cents.
