It typically depends on the fish. Usually sashimi/sushi grade fish consists of deep muscle tissue that is unlikely to contain parasites. EG: Fish that is suitable for eating raw. In the US all fish intended for raw consumption is frozen below -32F to kill any parasites. However this is just a guideline and health codes are enforced on a per-state basis. Sashimi/sushi grade is usually just a marketing term beyond that. You could slap a sticker saying as much on any fish you like.

- posterboy 6y agoThat's a bit different than "fantastic", in that it is a much worse type of misleading, unless you concern was their lab is prone to parasites?
- foxyv 6y agoYeah, sushi grade doesn't mean it's good. I doubt they have problems with parasites either. I would bet their sushi has to be completely sterile coming out of the lab or the culture will die pretty quick. In fact I wouldn't be surprised it it's swimming in antibiotics to prevent bacterial contamination. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-07757-w#:~:text=Standard%20protocols%20for%20cell%20culture,of%20both%20penicillin%20and%20streptomycin https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-07757-w#:~:text=S....
