quote:

“There are parasites in almost every kind of fish,” one of Portland’s top fish purveyors, who sold the infected fish and wishes to remain anonymous, told me. “What I provide is as fresh as can be. It comes straight from the ocean to the restaurant.”

“I don’t eat raw fish because of what I’ve seen,” admitted the fish purveyor, who sells to many of the city’s top restaurants. “I don’t eat sushi anymore.”

I was going to make fun of you OP for caring about being grossed out by the idea of little worms while you're eating the dead flesh of a larger animal, but then I read the article and wish I didn't.

You should add to the OP that these worms SURVIVE COOKING AND CRAWL OUT OF THE FISH

Food and Drug Administration regulations stipulate that fish to be eaten raw -- whether as sushi, sashimi, seviche, or tartare -- must be frozen first, to kill parasites.

Imagine being one of the first humans to see that raw meat had creepy crawlies in it. I can't find a source but I believe it was in a high school class where I learned that when it first happened a lot of royalty quit eating meat which is why they were so pasty?

Mola Mola aka ocean sunfish

They have a permanently open mouth, and as the largest bony fish, makes it prime spot for parasites.

They like slurping up jellyfish and basking on the surface to make seagulls eat the parasites though!

What you Americans don't understand is that we live here. The worms live here. We open our mouths and eat them. *fish puffs on cigar* They grow inside us, whatever. It is... apart of life for us.

iirc, the only stuff that is really dangerous to humans is introduced after the fish is already out of the water (ie if it is left sitting in the hot sun in a fish market or something)

so mostly just fish parasites. but again they flash freeze fish that is going to be served raw so it's really not that big of a deal. you can visually see the parasites and worms most of the time too, and they'll just scoop that poo poo out before they sell it (that's why there are chunks missing from the fish sometimes as if someone used an ice cream scooper on it)
