- richardhod 4y agoIt's not the same at all. At first glance it might feel the same, but the structural questions are different. The fact that the Facebook does have privacy problems does not show that Atlantic salmon does actually have parasites problems in the same way that pacific salmon does. Argument by analogy is not good argumentation.
- pkroll 4y agoIn the USA fish for sushi is suggested by the FDA (and required by local law in some places: New York city comes to mind) to be frozen to -31F for 15 hours (or -4F for seven days), specifically to kill parasites. Given that virtually all salmon in the US has been frozen, I wouldn't worry about parasites in salmon sushi here.
