Do you think this type of salmon is safe to eat as sushi?

1. 1. Color must look bright and natural
   2. Must have no smell whatsoever
   3. Must not weep
   4. Must be firm not mushy (poke it)
   5. Must cut clean
   If it does all that, I eat it

2. If it’s reduced price I would assume that’s because it’s getting too old and they need to sell it. Sounds unappetizing to me.

3. While it may still be safe to eat, the flavors may be fishy for sushi.

4. Stores will normally only reduce price on old seafood like that. So the answer is hell no.

5. No. Just, no.

6. Since this is UK, first is it Scottish farmed salmon? As that actually is supposed to be safe raw. Secondly, it’s reduced so it will be today sell by date, so although it will be ok, it’s not going to be at it’s best/freshest. Lastly, it’s Waitrose so it will be good quality, and I personally would trust it more then if it was a Tesco or aldi.

7. Get sashimi grade. Period.

8. It’s got to be sushi grade

9. Go for it.

10. Am I the only one seeing that it expires today? Absolutely not . Throw it in a pan with butter if anything at all.

11. Nope don’t

12. No it’s not better to use Lox or smoked salmon don’t risk using this salmon please
