Sashimi/sushi fish?

[QueenOfGoths]

Yes, don't buy the Fugu pufferfish...

I ate some of that last week - it was cool!

I'd also suggest getting some rice vinegar which you add to the sushi rice to give it that slight 'tangy' taste

Quite untrue. Wild salmon tend to be full of them, but it's not an issue since most sushi-grade fish is flash frozen when it's caught and that kills them. Tuna's not so susceptable to them.

In all seriousness, there's frozen and then there's *FROZEN*. The sushi grade stuff is frozen immediately and kept at -50C or something crazy like that.

I ready something that said that 100% of wild salmon tested had the eggs but almost 0% of farmed salmon. that was probably funded by a salmon farm though

Its always the Salmon Farmers. They are behind everything.

So does anyone here actually make their own sashimi?

I think you should make sure you have some pickled ginger.

No, but I have seen it done. The person who made it went to an asian superstore place to buy sushi grade fish, the rice, nori etc etc. That was in the states, but I reckon somewhere like this would have all you'd need:

My wife and I regularly buy salmon and mackrel and eat it raw. We arn't dead.

I'll ask my fish monger what he does.

Wing Yip is ok but not as cheap as the shops in central London. I wouldn't buy fish from wing yip, the place stinks a bit and they are not really catering for the Japanese market (one isle) .

I think I might find a local japaneese super market and if they don't have fish ask them if they can recomend anywhere all our local places stink a bit to be honest, although this was at the end of the day nad the one next door to us smelt leadt, but they have most of their stuff at the back for the shop

They still shouldn't stink at the end of the day. Fresh fish doesn't reek like that. I was amazed by my new local because I just assumed fish shops stunk. I bought some salmon from him once and it was quite a few days before it began to smell.

Bit worried about all these eggs I'm hearing about though.
