1. You can, might be slimy depending on how it was thawed.

2. If you search “Costco salmon” on the sub someone posted a prep tutorial not too long ago

3. Sushi Guy has multiple tutorials on preparing Costco salmon for sushi.

4. So IDK what organic means in Canadian standards, but it doesn’t sound like it’s wild, which typically you dont want to mess with. Farm raised salmon is preferred as it typically carries a low parasite/pathogen risk per several writings, but you don’t want to just open up the package and hunker down.

   Every video I’ve seen involves salting it to firm up the fish, followed by a light marinade in mirin, to be finished by freezing it for like 48hrs for food safety.

   This method has been validated to produce a quality consistent to restaurant quality saku in flavor, texture, and food safety.

6. I’ve eaten straight from the supermarket counter. But where I live, laws are pretty much airtight or super annoying so you can trust almost 100%

7. Just cure it you should be fine🤙🤙🤙

8. Add lemon

9. I’d recommend going to a local fish place and getting some faroe salmon

10. Nope

11. Fuck these fish farms. They pollute so much blood pollution into the system, it wreaks havoc on all the native sea creatures.

    It shouldn’t be legal IMO, but the only way we can make it stop it with our wallets. Unfortunately, a lot of the Canadian farms make dog and cat food too as well as the canned pink salmon

12. Well, our friend from “Roll For Sushi” uses it soooo I am thinking it is safe to use, but maybe not the best quality you can find.

13. You need to freeze to kill germs

14. I make Poke with it all the time. Definitely have diarrhea two hours later but it tastes good

15. Never

16. Does it say sushi grade? Then no

17. If you do decide to eat this, get one that was packed on the same day and try to eat it that same day, or the next day at the latest.

18. Atlantic salmon is almost never sushi grade. Go for pacific if possible

19. I would only consume fresh farmed saltwater salmon for sashimi. I believe this is freshwater and wouldn’t.
