Has anyone seen salmon sashimi with these little white balls on them? What are these?

1. Parasitic worm eggs?

2. Looks like rice crackers

3. Does not look tasty

4. It’s called deez.

5. Maybe some kind of special salt?

6. Styrofoam from the box, maybe?

7. Asked my sushi-fiend Japanese friend and she seemed concerned, if that’s any help.

8. Its rice arare, used for some crunch texture and garnish on rolls at my restaurant but they don’t belong on sashimi IMO

9. It looks like tapioca disease. A parasite in salmon. Not supposed to be harmful to humans but I wouldn’t want to eat one and find out. I can’t believe a place would sell sashimi looking like that.

11. Polystyrene

12. why?

13. Brain eating amoeba

14. Rice crackers I’ll use some on some poke but sashimi come on

15. The chef’s dandruff.

16. First thought it was sesame seeds, but I’m pretty sure it’s rice arare

17. Have you tried asking the restaurant it’s from first??
