  1. Hey Sushi guy here, I forgot who tagged me on here asking about the steelhead trout from Costco. It’s about $2-3 cheaper per lb, but does come with the skin. It turned out really well!! In the video I only slice it for sashimi, but it made for beautiful nigiri as well

    First of all, never use freshwater fish for sushi, this farmed steelhead trout is an exception as they’re raised in their ocean phase only

    This is also a product of Norway and works well. Happy Saturday!

  2. Costco salmon is not sushi grade.
    Look close and you’ll see roundworms. Never seen a fillete without them there.

  3. Was this previously flash frozen for parasites? I thought raw sushi could be saltwater fish only as well,

  4. i worked as a sushi chef for years. i later worked filleting for one of the largest seafood processors in north america for five years. we supply much of the steelhead to costco. i absolutely do not recommend eating this raw.

    it’s fed specific “food” to make it look like salmon. QA runs around with a color chart to make sure it’s within the correct range. they also use a solution of water and chemicals to kill the awful smell that comes off of the meat when it’s old. that same fillet goes to costco, and you’d have no idea.

  5. Salt, sugar and rinse? Is it really safe to eat it raw?

    More importantly, are there restaurants that actually serve them (Steelhead or Salmon) like this as sashimi?
