Sushi!!!

[Legacy]

Anyone out there a lover of sushi and eating their catch on the Great Lakes? Im looking for advice on prep of salmon after the catch to prepare salmon for sushi. Im not looking for recipes but I am looking to make sure my preparations are the best leading up to it.

Google Anisakiasis. It might change your mind

You cannot eat fresh water fish sushi [emoji496]. Good way to get hepatitis

If I had good sushi technique I would not have to pack a lunch. Lol

The best sushi in a salmon is not the salmon itself. It is the half digested alewife in their stomachs

Simply not true guys. You can eat freshwater fish for sushi but there is a concern for excessive pollution in freshwater. Parasites exist in both fresh and salt water. Just an FYI, ALL fish prepared for sushi should be frozen to destroy parasites. Hepatitis? Really? How about some sushi lovers chime in?

 

[Bada Bing]

Bleed out the fish. Report back on how it tastes.

So, I know a little bit about sushi, having spent a year of high school in Japan. Actually, sushi is what you call it when it's on top of lightly vinegared rice, rolled in seaweed. Simple raw fish is sashimi. Raw fish cut up and cured with lime juice is ceviche, which is in a world of its own. Bahamas, baby! 

 

That having been said, although there are parasites in both fresh and saltwater fish, the real problem is that freshies harbor some nasty bacteria. And bacteria are not destroyed by freezing. My advice is that you avoid salmon sashimi while on the lake. If you do decide to indulge, can I have your boat?

[BSmaster]

Get a grill for the boat. It is a thing.  Try not to blow yourself up.

 

I am sitting here thinking about how hungry I would have to be to eat raw salmon from lake O and I skipped breakfast and I still can't picture it.

I ate it before and no side effects, that I know of. I liked it and wish it was safer. Hope this thread ends with good news.

After removing the fillets I cut some meat around the backbone.

Correct. I would definitely focus on the rice vinegar or other high acidity.

Surprisingly I am not a big fan of ceviche...

I'm looking at this from a nigiri prospective. I like rolls and sashimi but prefer nigiri. And Im 100% raising the question about this for raw fish consumption. My prime suspects would be Coho and 2 year old Kings. We can assume we already know the answers for smoked and cooked salmon.

Milt soup would compliment the entry.

Check raw fish safety on YouTube.

Listen to the meat eater podcast ep. 191: Sicker Than Hell. They discuss this topic with an epidemiologist, basically the human body kills the parasites in salt water fish but the parasites in fresh water fish can migrate through your intestines into other organs.

After taking some courses on parasitology and inveterate zoology in undergrad, my take away was I would NEVER eat raw fish.

Rob based on what everyone has posted here it looks like you’re good to go, no worries!

Parasites can be killed by simply freezing. Minimum 5 days is recommended for a typical house freezer.

Believe it or not my best sushi was an appetizer dish at Applebee’s one year. Some type of tuna. Other than that I’m out! Then again I’m only happy with perch or walleye.... so I don’t do well with fishy taste.

My wife and I love sushi and make it almost weekly, but we don’t use raw freshwater fish because of the parasite risk . We’ve done lightly cooked salmon but I would rather the texture of raw so we stick with marine caught salmon. You have me thinking though, now that I (finally) learned how bleeding helps the flesh quality I will probably try to freeze some and make some rolls or something. I usually use myself as a test case before feeding my experiments to others.
