“Rare” fish is always a bad idea, but perhaps you meant “raw”, which is different.
Raw fish like used in sushi/sashimi is generally safe because the fish is flash frozen, which is as effective as thorough cooking for killing parasites.
- pfdietz 2y agoFlash freezing may kill multicellular parasites, but I don't believe it will kill bacteria.
- jnwatson 2y agoRaw fish is flash frozen in the US. Not necessarily so in other countries. Be careful eating sushi outside the US/Japan.
