Sashimi is very delicious. Are there parasites in the fish?

First of all, I am a big fan of raw fish. I like all raw fish, whether it's China, Japanese or western. The second point is that eating raw fish does have a great chance of infecting various parasites, and so far, there is no absolutely safe way to solve it.

Does this sound like a strange dilemma?

Let me briefly talk about why eating raw fish is easy to get infected with parasites. Most of the marine fish we eat will not be infected with parasites in the environment with high concentration of salt water, but the activity of bacteria will be greatly reduced, which does not mean that we can eat without restraint.

Whether freshwater fish or saltwater fish, fish is the favorite host of parasites in nature. Once these parasites enter the muscles of fish, the larvae will parasitize in the internal organs and blood of fish, which is why many places say that the blood of fish should be cleaned and the internal organs removed when eating raw fish.

Then, if we know that eating fish raw is so dangerous, why are there so many people moving forward wave after wave?

For the sake of food, of course, it is an unavoidable excuse! However, foodies are not unprepared when eating raw fish:

The first step in eating raw fish is to choose ingredients. Raw fish must be fresh, otherwise it is useless to treat it the day after tomorrow;

Secondly, professionals must deal with raw fish. Bleeding and cleaning must be carried out in a professional standard kitchen, and even the relevant personnel must have adequate sanitation and quarantine.

Speaking of eating raw fish, many people are very addicted to mustard in Japanese raw fish. In fact, mustard itself has a good bactericidal effect.

Raw fish in Shunde looks simple, but it is actually sterilized by local ingredients. The salt, garlic and pepper we see have a certain dehydration effect. Another sterilization thing is "crude oil". When Shunde people eat raw fish, they will mix it evenly with raw oil. The mystery here lies in its dehydration function. Bacteria need enough water to survive, so dehydration can actually play a bactericidal role.

In addition, there are many ways to prevent bacterial and parasitic infections, including drinking, which can also play a certain role. But in any case, the risk still exists, and it has a lot to do with everyone's physical condition. Raw fish is delicious, and eating a lot of raw fish is also a huge burden on the digestive system, so even if you like raw fish, you'd better not eat it.
