[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sushi = rice
Sashimi = raw fish. 
Sushi roll has sushi rice and sashimi rolled in it or as a topping.

[b]Most reputable restaurants will have a real Sushi Chef from Japan, who takes pride and honor in their work,[/b] and will have flash frozen fish which kills parasites.

The largest risk comes from the handling of the fish after it is thawed. Humans can transmit parasitic eggs to the food from improper sanitation methods. A good chef will be very clean, but there's always a risk.

As for the rest of the staff that comes in contact with your food, who knows. That's the risk of eating out. [/quote]

Not any more they won’t. There are people from all sorts of ethnic and other backgrounds behind sushi bars these days, many of whom do not have even the most minimal familiarity with Japanese standards of freshness and hygiene. The guys who fueled the sushi boom in the 80’s are old and retired/retiring. Their replacements are not their equals. [/quote]

I am not surprised. It used to take years and years to become a real sushi chef, now they probably just hire anyone off the street and have them watch a youtube video. [/quote]
