    I recently caught a parasite from sushi…spreading the word!

    Sushi
    The danger: The primary cause for concern with sushi is the presence of parasites—tapeworms, flatworms and roundworms, for example—in the raw fish. To minimize risk, eat sashimi (sushi made with raw fish) at restaurants where the chefs not only know how to purchase the best fish, but also know how to identify and remove parasites during preparation. While no raw fish can be guaranteed safe, dipping it in soy sauce and wasabi may have a mildly antimicrobial effect.

    The safer solution: Cooking fish to at least 145 degrees for a minute or more will kill any parasites residing in the fish. But then you no longer have sushi! The only way to eat it raw and still be sure it’s not harboring any parasites is to eat fish that has been frozen before it became sushi. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends freezing fish to an internal temperate of -31 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 15 hours in order to kill parasites.

    You have not mentioned if you are substituting for a recipe or you are changing your menu for dinner or a dinner party? Trout sounds delicious or sushi for appetizers.

    If you’re American, yes. If you’re Japanese or are catering for Japanese, then no. It’s like swapping steak for chicken.

    Be creative its your sushi you can do what you want

    I have rolled up virtually everything and my guests love the non traditional

    BLT sushi – blt and mayonaise
    Shrimp cocktail sushi – shrimp and cocktail sauce
    Pulled pork sandwich – pulled pork and cole slaw

    part of the fun is doing it and a sushi bar and let people roll thier own really works at a party –

    Off subject but look at this as I have one and you can make awesome sushi very easily – remember a big part is presentation and this one makes heart shaped etc etc
