My wife picked this up at an Asian grocery store. It is titled “best sashimi salmon”
Would any of you use this to make sushi? I’m worried because somehow it is cheaper than regular salmon you would find at the grocery store, and usually sushi grade fish (yes, I know that term doesn’t really mean anything) is more expensive, not less expensive.
I’m worried about getting sick. Do any of you have advice for me?

Since it’s clearly frozen and labelled sashimi, I would assume it is safe if the store is a reputable one.
I would with no regrets.

no
“Sushi grade” is kind of bs. But the fish does need to be frozen first in order to make sure any harmful parasites are killed before eating. So you’re on the right track. I wouldn’t be worried about eating it.
It’s probably safe to eat but 1.99 an lb is sketch. It’s probably really fishy tasting
No. You would think if it was “best quality” it would tell you what species of salmon it is.
i mean it’s the best ain’t it?
Where are you getting salmon for 1.99 / lb
Of course…., If I wanted death by salmon
Not until it is thawed.
1000% no. Sushi grade Salmon should be >$20 per pound. this very sus!
Best to find a fishmonger selling fish caught that day and flash frozen to kill any parasites. The longer it’s sitting out at the store the greater risk of bacterial growth.
I have eaten so much raw fish that I probably shouldn’t have but this is just too weird for me.
I’m suspect of the price… could be my market, but most of the Asian markets I’ve seen sushi salmon in would be more like $3/oz in my area.
Nope. I would want province for raw salmon.
Living in Norway I am very relaxed about local farmed salmon but anything else know where its from and how it was produced.
That salmon is very very cheap. It’s below market price. Be advised.
Do it, and let me know if you develop diphyllobothriasis
Yes
Absolutely not.
lol absolutely no
1.99/ lb = no go
The label wouldn’t lie, would it?
I would not
No
I mean, it says “best”…
@1.99/lb, I wouldn’t eat it cooked, grilled, boiled, sous vide, roasted or for $1,000,000
$2/lb? No that can’t be right.
If it’s farmed raised then yes if it’s wild then no
I would call the store and ask them about it.
No!!!
Most likely farmed and barely salmon, if at all.
Would I eat my girl out on her period? Duhhhhhhhh
Sure. Even freezing makes it safe to eat
Absolutely. Not.
If frozen, then, yes kill any nematodes
Where is this cheap salmon? Our food down south hit 7 dollars for salmon.
