Is that why there's no "trout sushi"? Because it is fresh water? (At least that's what the SEO results on Google all say.)

- prometheus76 4y agoYes. Parasites that are dangerous to humans are much more prevalent in freshwater fish.
- jandrewrogers 4y agoSalmonid species (salmon, trout, char, et al) carry nematode parasites that can infect humans. Before salmonid sushi can be eaten, at least in the US, it is required to be frozen, killing the nematodes. Large trout species like rainbow trout are sometimes served as sushi -- I imagine species size and susceptibility to freezing damage factor in too. Other freshwater fish like sturgeon are also served as sushi.
