Sushi Enthusiasts, Beware Tapeworm Now Present in U.S. Salmon

Great video! I glad I watched this.I heard that deep frying fish helps to kill many things in fish. Can you please do a video on BACON and any dangers with that. Hopefully me commenting first will help. P.S. I miss you at the CO-OP Later.

These guys are fucking idiots. Shows cognitive dissonance is high even in doctors who have a lot of school. Fish have parasites. You can’t see the eggs and the “fancy” place you eat at doesn’t know either. What the fuck are these guys on?

I haven’t eaten sushi before until today, I’m now 12 years old… Thanks and praise be to God I have watched this news and I’m still breathing. I really wanted to try sushi.

Camera guy is sooooo annoying. To be so affiliated with sushi & speak so much about it like he knows what hes talking about yet NEVER KNOWING WHAT HES TALKING ABOUT. Sushi grade fish is ALL supposed to be flash frozen anyway to kill ALL parasites.
There can be parasites even when you cant see them hence you are supposed to freeze ALL the fish you plan on eating raw. He’s too busy echoing old wives tales & flapping his gums half the time to even learn THE BASICS about sushi with a master chef before him.
Even when they went & caught a fresh bluefin from the sea & ate it that day, they stated how it tasted “TOO FRESH” & how it would taste better if it were aged a few days. These are points that go right over camera guy’s head because he still lives in the land of child like wonder void of understanding.
Hes like the fools who complained about MSG decades ago forcing most asian cuisine to remove it from much of their cuisine completely IGNORANT of the FACT that MSG is NATURAL & can be found in MANY of the western basic foods we eat daily.
However MSG sounds like a chemical x man-made concoction so “it must be bad & removed” so says the fool…smh.
Meanwhile we glob large amounts of bleached refined white table salt on our food oblivious of the fact that such salt has ingredients because ITS MAN-MADE & actually contains traces of sand & glass ALSO BLEACHED white hence the modern old wives tale that salt is bad for you(& of course it is when you are using IMITATION MAN-MADE SALT w/ refined bleached glass in it).
Then you have people just as dull as camera guy who will then “raise the standard” by pushing “sea salt” which means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING concerning the quality of the salt when fact is most ALL SALT we harvest comes from the sea hence the statement is free to be abused & is used to sell more MAN-MADE refined bleached salt opposed to healthy alternatives like pink Himalayan salt.
Ughhh…I just ranted again…let me stop watching this channel before my stress goes up.

This show is so dumb, btw your probably more likely to get worms from american pork, Japan has far superior food hygiene than the US

so fresh fish is safe?
no, the fresher the fish, the fresher the parasite.
I would never risk eating sushi when there’s a million other foods to eat, and even that can be questionable.
So I stick to fruits and salads..yummmm

#1:the man..still can
Eat Sushi(vegetarian
rolls only!)But NOT
RawFishRolls..as for me
I enjoy eating Sushi..just
NOT RAW FISH ROLLS..
..So disgusting.

Jeezuz… these guys are Emmy award winning?! As someone posted several months back, ‘fresh’ is what gets you the parasites. Fish has to be frozen under a certain temperature for at least 15 hours to kill the parasite.

People have been eating sushi for years without getting this problem. I really think it depends on the supplier the sushi places gets their fish from.. a lot of sushi places buy from manufacturers who farm their own fish, most fish caught from the wild have worms and gross shit. Do your research before you believe fake shows like this who will lie to get your views.

Im glad i don’t watch these guys anymore. Instead of encouraging people to at least eat cooked food to be safe from parasites that live and feed inside you, they just tell you, be careful. I really feel sorry for people.

what I read in google is that almost all wild fish have parasites in them.. According to the description, a lot of places still serve the clean fish parts and cut off the infected parts, but I wonder if those clean parts are also infected with the eggs of the parasites? which in turn will grow in our intestine after we eat them? if that’s the case then shouldn’t we only eat cooked fish?

“Sushi Grade” is a marketing term. “Fresh” isn’t fresh, but frozen at neg 31 degrees F for at least 15 hours straight to kill any existing worms and their eggs that reside in the fish. There are currently no FDA regulations on what “sushi grade” is. If you catch any wild fish and eat it raw, no matter where it’s caught from, you’re at risk for parasite contraction. Reputable restaurants get their fish that has already been frozen then thawed for sushi, or will freeze it themselves per FDA guidelines on killing parasites.

I’m a close resident of D.C. and a reputable restaurant stopped selling any salmon because all of it was infested with parasites. It was good that they watch out to protect the consumer.

If you Google, “FDA Chapter 5 Parasites” you’ll get the official article. In January, 2017, the CDC has also posted a warning about wild Atlantic Salmon containing parasites, which is why the earlier noted restaurant had to stop offering their batch.

Happy eating!

The misinformation and wrong information is amazing. I’m FAR from an expert, but I know a couple of things that either A, they don’t know, or B, don’t care to explain. Sushi-all sushi, MUST be frozen, and restaurants have super cold freezers, to kill any worm. They never mentioned that, and the guest said it’s safer when it is “super fresh”-nothing to do with it. It must be frozen first, OR, must be cooked in high heat. Yeah, it is no longer sushi if it is cooked, but I’m talking FOOD SAFETY. It MUST be super frozen, thawed then served OR cooked in high heat. Geez.

Reminds me of a conversation between my father and my maternal grandfather. Don’t remember what it was, but Dad said it was a good way to catch worms, whereupon Opa said worms were nothing to worry about, when he got them they gave him a spoonful of turpentine and sugar and the worms were gone quick. Dad says, you got sugar? I wish I got sugar. Papa gave us turpentine straight.

what he said at the end is wrong.fish flown in fresh is more likely to have parasites.most fish does have worms.flash freezing or cooking kills them though.

this guy didnt do his research so don’t fall for it. It is sashimi, not sushi, that infected this man in China. The sashimi type that he ingested was raw beef which gave him this 16 foot beef tapeworm. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/raw-meat-lover-16-foot-7606330

This is why you cook fish and meat. We are expose to lots of parasites cooking it helps decrease it. If the worm moves it is still fresh lol

If you eat animals flesh there will be worms and mercury and butchers cut out the tumors of the meat people eat. You have no idea that the animals you are eating didn’t have cancer.

I live in Alaska fish many species. Worms are in every fish lol freeze your fish first then can eat raw. Not all fish are infested as others but man iv seen some sick fish hahaha

I’ve seen that a a few different markets over the years. It’s kind of gross but I’m not sure why it happens or how common a problem it is. They tell pregnant women not to eat such Because of the danger of parasites and worms. I’m thinking it’s common.

It’s very common for fish to have parasites especially if it’s wild caught. That’s why for it to be “sushi grade” you need to freeze it to kill off the parasite

Aye if it’s alive it means it’s pretty fresh. Fish has worms in it….freezing the meat kills it. The ppl cleaning the fish should of gotten most of them out when packaging them but it’s a fish…it’s gonna have worms in it. Freeze it or cook it properly

If I see worms, won’t eat it even if cooked. Just can’t do it. I freeze fish before I will use it for sushi to kill any unseen parasites no matter what.

Why I don’t like restaurants, if it was a Chinese restaurant they would have served it anyway, I thank ヒロさん for teaching me how to do it myself

I thought you can flash freeze the meet for 72 hrs to kill the parasites. Why was the entire fish discarded? Isn’t freezing a common practice to avoid wasting fish is sushi restaurants?

How do you do a scientific segment on sushi without talking about freezing the fish before hand which kills the parasites… because lets scare the public and get ratings!

Greetings from Denmark ����

Around here we say, that you need to freeze your fish for 24 h at -20˚C to kill any parasites.

You dont do that in the US?

Not that i would eat an infected fish… but you might not notice?

Goodness Charles now we’re all scarred along with you! Very lucky they didnt get in your liver… I’ve heard fish tapeworms usually end up there

I live in NYC. I went to Canal street. I got 5lbs of whitening i asked for head off and filet. when i hot home took the fish out to rinse the freaking amount of worms like the ones in your fish white and long. i was grossed out i took it back and showed them and had to argue to get my few dollars back. Haven’t eaten whitening since. that scary

sashimi isnt a dish, its a typing, like pasta is a typing, there are different pasta and sashimi, if you are eating medium to small fish, generally not tuna, then real sashimi would be prepared properly. They bleach it in vinegar/salt depending on fresh water fish or salt water fish. This process kills the bacteria and parasites. It is fish dependent on the mixture.

The rice you eat sashimi with has vinegar with it to sterile out the taste of sour in the fish, when you eat pieces of sashimi without rice, they rebleach it in fresh water, or slightly salted water to get rid of sour taste if there is any. If you are getting sick from sashimi that means you have a stomach problem or the people prepping it are doing it wrong and you should report them.

What a complete ignoramus! The guy says to the chick you never know where the fish comes from and that the nicest restaurants could be the worst. Then he goes on to say that he knows of a place that’s reputable. Bet his shit doesn’t stink either!

Dude, the experience the cameraman had with these was terrible. I am so sorry to hear that this type of experience happened to him. I could never..I can’t do bugs so imagine if that happened to me ������

Wild does not mean natural. Salmo salar, Atlantic salmon does travel upto rivers to breed and eats insects and little fishes when young, those bag raised and harvested “bag salmons” only share the outer shell resemblance to the SALMON! You ain’t buying real salmon all year around, if you are then its frozen and does have a real price for effort, or you should try fishing by yourself to respect what your eating. THOSE NASTY TOXIC BAG-SALMONS ARE NOT FOR ANYTHING THAN TO MAKE FISH OIL OR SOME PROTEIN POWDER. Is the meat that you eat naturally grown, is your vegetables naturally grown? Of course not if you ain’t paying for that, or getting the nutrition that your body needs from a reputable source. How often do you eat aquarium fishes that are pellet fed, there are redmeated fishes that belong to salmon-family also. Think before u act, it can’t be that difficult to get normal food, u just may have to find it by yourself if u cant afford to pay someone to do that for you, I don’t like to eat trap-grown food either. Indian people eat more pure food than most of the americans, they use it same day, so its fresh and cook it well, so its safe to eat. Which one of those do you do regularly. If your trapped in a prison-camp lifestyle, scale down and pay yourself out of it. You ain’t gonna be living in a mansion and being the best you can, not for urself or others if you don’t START TODAY. Cheers.
