Not only does he not blink, his eyes get wider and wider.
dude is an alien
umm he's not blinking.... like during the majority of the video... he didn't blink.
He’s controlled by worms
the effects of eating raw fish
I noticed that too
He's tweaking.
That guy in the video you used as an example didn't eat salmon from Walmart. If you watched it, he said it smelled fishy and did not recommend for viewers to try it.
This was one of the first videos I stumbled on about this topic. Then I went on a deep dive only to come back this one and declare that it is far and away the the past informative and well presented video on this topic on UA-cam l. Thank you so much for this. Well done.
You deserve more views, subs, everything. Thank you for putting in all the work to make this video so informative!
Very, very informative and well-made video. This deserves way more views.
This video is insanely helpful, thanks Alex!
Thank you for doing thorough research and condensing it down for us. I also really appreciate you showing references. Thank you!
You feel like the Practical Engineering of food, I love it
So much I didn't know. Thank you. This was highly informative.
This outro was very good. I was about to be overwhelmed like wait what do I do with all this info, but you tied it up really well.
Excellent video. This was sorta what I was looking for.
I’m looking at making sushi at home and I’ve been researching parasite destruction in fish and where to locate such fish etc. But I’ve come across some confusion, I see in the regulation in some states it says that Tuna is exempt from freezing, however I’ve noticed some studies that mention examining parasites in Tuna species for the purpose of the study. So I’m looking at it as, I need all fish to be super frozen for my sushi so I’ve located frozen tuna saku blocks near my house.
I was just wondering, is the salmon at places like Costco or Sam’s super frozen? There is a fish supplier near my house that has fresh “sashimi grade” fish (don’t know if it’s never frozen) but I’d rather frozen fish since I’m not gonna use a whole salmon filet (whole side) in a single day making sushi.
Great video!! Thanks for posting!
I live in Canada. Our Grocery Chains do not strictly to adhere to the Standards set out by you, especially the ethnic stores. You video has made us aware of this shortfall. Thanks.
I watched this two minutes after I ate raw salmon 😢
Very informative video - citations are a cherry on top. Thanks for this.
Amazing video, u deserve way more subs!
@foodie FIndings great video. btw cool eyes. have you ever even seen those worms? I ate sushi around the country , even land locked places like Las Vegas and Dallas and yet to see any .
Thank you so much! I was watching the TV show "Alone" last night and a guy pulled in a large trout from a lake in Patagonia. When he gutted it he found some fat roe clusters and ate them raw on the spot. I was intrigued and wondered if the whole fish could have been consumed raw. I live in NW Georgia not far from a number of trout streams so It wasn't idle curiosity. Your video was very helpful and I really appreciate your in depth research and attention to detail.
Thank you.
As a resident of the Pacific Northwest and retiring in Arizona, fresh fish is a quandry.
I have always enjoyed sushi, but have been hesident to prepare it myself.
I guess I will continue it that way, but found your vid very informative, thank you!
Incredibly helpful video. Most resources dance around the terminology, and state the common regulatory shortcomings. This was the first video that has given me avenues to source my own fish, and it was an answer I never heard before. Talk to the fishmongers or sushi chefs!
It’s uncommon until it happens to you. I freeze for 1 day and then I torch everything.
As a raw fish lover living in Oklahoma, this was so helpful. Time to seek out some fresh mongers!!! Thank you so much, subbed!
Very underrated video, thank you for this content.
Excellent video, thank you for doing all the research!
Can we get a blink or two next time? Lol
I just picked up some frozen fish from R&F market here in Salty Lake, have you tried yet? I had from Aquarius before and still alive, my family trying to come up with a budget friendly way to do peruvian ceviche, let me know if you tried their fish products for ceviche please
Thank you sooo much, this was helpful!
BRAVO‼️Well articulated vid ‼️I do not like cooked salmon. HOWEVER, I DO like Sushi so I decided to try it Sushi grade. I’m good with it. As for having any worries about parasites, I do love researching the origin AND the place I purchase. I only engage the “Sushi” experience twice per month and as a precaution, ingest oregano oil (3 drops in 1oz. water) daily for at least 3 days consecutively along with Fresh garlic tea and one day of Activated Charcoal… just in case🙂… so far, so good . Thank you so much for the clarity and your research .👍
Thanks for citing Hiro's video
Trying to make my coustomers knowledgeable to what is best for them is hard .
Farmed they wont buy ,they think sustainable fish from the ocean is going to harm them via there diets and living environment .
Freash not frozen is what they want in Australia, they tend to snob frozen.
Over seas fish is also a deal breaker they dont want asain farmed and packaged.
And some people are completely unaware or knowledgeable of the reality of seasonal fish ,that is why we offer frozen and there is farmed forced by the public demand on there favorite fish they need to be breed .
Than how it should be eaten is also a interesting experience when they can not tell the difference between alreadycooked prawns to uncooked
Best video on sushi grade fish on UA-cam.
excellent video
Thank you for the research!
When you said " get off the internet and actually talk to people" that's when I knew I had to put a like on this video. Good stuff man, also try to blink bro lol
I actually have a huge fear of clusters of parasites but in this context it was clinical and did not give me the heebie jeebies. Still startled me though, can you possibly preface clips of that nature? I did come with some expectation i suppose
How can anyone ise frozen fish for sushi? Isn’t it too wet?
Went to Ocean State Job Lots… no luck.
Most restaurant sushi is flash frozen beforehand
3:45 helped me to figure something out, entire video is incredibly informing
I couldn’t even get through 4 minutes of this. Around the 3:00 mark or a little afterwards this man is advocating farm raised fish, which is some the unhealthiest stuff on earth. I am Done.
@FoodieFindings I kept waiting for the disclaimer at the end, (e.g. "This video was brought to you by The BBLCTP a.k.a. "Big Beef, Lamb, Chicken, Turkey and Pork"), but it never came. LOL
In that case, do you have any other videos of a similar nature for any of those? You know, "Dangers of..."?
Some Italians give fish a quick rinse in white vinegar before preparing it. I do this at home. I make a small bowl of vinegar, give the fish a quick dip (10-15 seconds) and then rinse with fresh water before patting dry. I would think that this would help deter bacteria.
So MUCH FRIGGGGGGING KNOWLEDGE IN THIS VIDEO! BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOO! BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
A Japanese Medical Colleague of mine told me that the fish caught for Sushi in Japan usually gets stored in ice on the fishing boats while they are transported back to port. The fish is not frozen, but the prolonged exposure to cold usually is enough to kill the parasite and the eggs!
I consider fish that I catch, filet, vacuum seal, and flash freeze to be sushi grade, and I can eat it raw. I do that for blackfish, tuna, black sea bass, and fluke. The only sushi grade fish we buy is salmon and frozen hamachi loin. Basically, I always thought sushi grade just meant "super" fresh and higher end cut.
Thank you so much!
Very informative. Thank you for making this video.
Cool video… made me hungry
I just gonna steam or fry from now on instead of raw
excellent.thank you
that a very helpful and informative video
Wow.... I came here to figure out how to make my own sushi, but now I'm considering never eating sushi again!
Good info. Sorry you are land locked. I'm in Florida, and fresh Mayport shrimp are soooooo yummy.
Shouldn't have watched this before sleeping 🙃
Had some raw fish in guatemala. Just thinking about making a bad mistake
Didn't taste fresh at all.
You're a treasure Alex
A woman in California had all her limbs removed because of a bacteria she got eating uncooked fish
good stuff, live in Utah I know all those spots
Yikes! My immune system is compromised. As close as l got to "raw" fish is ceviche, and that was only once. Does smoked salmon with cream cheese on an onion bagel count? 😉 Nummers! Thanks.
This vid makes me want to give up raw fish😢
Only in America is too cautious. It's not a bad thing. it keeps you safe, but it makes you paranoid about almost anything. For me, use your best judgment there's is no way to track your food where it came from. Be safe
you are a skilled presenter.
It's OK to blink during the video!
I only eat cooked sushi 🍣
Some how i knew fresh wasnt fresh
Great video! But u freak me out when you don't blink. 🤣 jk
So 0 degrees isnt good enough.
You want to freeze it at least at -5°C for 7 days. Most freezers at home reaches that.
It's a good video except the CDC Center for Disease Creation is as bad as can be for us Americans along with all the other 3 letter garbage.
It would be nice to be able to wash down the worms in sushi 🍣 with a parasite cleansing medical grade Saki. Too bad that’s not a thing. 😅
I love both sake as in salmon and sake as in rice liquor, but a 14% abv bottle of gekkeikan or sho chiku bai is neither medical grade nor parasite cleansing, it's just good hooch. Cheers
In conclusion, stop eating raw fish.
freeze your fish at 0 F degrees or less for 7 days or more.....or cook your fish to 145 F internal temp.....and you will be fine, also don't buy bad looking meats, consult an expert to teach you what bad meat looks and smells like.
Should not have chosen to eat while watching this. But very informative
JFC dude i could have done with a trigger warning... I just finished eating Ramen 🤮
Sames
.
"Freedom loving Americans" and "CDC is the best" are mutually exclusive.
Buy farmed no parasites
He didn't eat the salmon from walmart. You shouldn't lie on other youtubers to make a point, he disregarded the salmon from walmart saying he wouldn't eat that raw. Which means how can we know anything else you say is legit when you already show your willing to lie on other youtubers to make a point?
Meh keep being weak people. Dont eat anything besides the cereal they give you. Lol
Never tried sushi and never will. If it tastes good then I won’t know what I’m missing and won’t risk getting these illnesses. The thought of raw fish or meat makes me gag. (I always make sure any other meat is thoroughly cooked.)
im gonna guess youre a "well done steak" kind of person lol
there is also vegetarian, meat and cooked fish sushi.....
Sushi is perfectly fine, you freeze the fish for a couple of days to kill anything that's alive in it and you will be perfectly fine. You want to do a deep freeze to kill any eggs in it which are the problem, not the live things. It's simple and has been done for centuries. I don't even like cooked fish anymore, I pretty much only eat raw now. Freeze the fish, problem solved. Also smell the fish, you can smell whether or not it's safe to eat. Listen to your instincts, if your instincts tell you it's not safe to eat, then don't eat it.
Sushi grade fish is bullshit all fish is the same 🤣😂
DUDE please, _please_ *please* *_PLEASE_* fucking warn us before you show disgusting medical video footage like that again! (I am specifically referring to those gross parasites in people's throat's and to a somewhat lesser extent those fish internals/insides/guts with those humongous worms sticking out of its organs) 🤢🤮🤮
Edit: I finished watching the rest of the video, and except for the omittance of a gross medical footage warning, this video is really awesome bro! This is such great information and that is rarely packaged this neatly! The video is incredibly informative, deliciously coincise, easy to understand for the average consumer, and epically condensed resulting in an undoubtedly much improved absorption rate and the absolute highest possible chance that the viewer retains the information and is able to recollect it at a later date. This is especially important because afaik this information is never taught in any school whatsoever, and for all the average Joe's and Jowette's out there, who might even currently be watching this video (If so, hello kind sir/madam! I hope you're currently having a great day 😊 👍), access to this information has the potential to be extremely useful, be exquisitely handy, be of undoubtedly great value, and albeit slightly hyperbolic, might even save a life or two here and there, especially considering those Joe's or Jowette's might have babies or young children to care for, or perhaps even their parents, or they might even be old folks or otherwise immunocompromised people themselves!
Thanks for making this video bro! It is very much appreciated ❤️👍😊😊
Thanks to this comment, I went to look for where those clips where in the vid and scrolled down when it came up, whew
What a pansy!😂
such a nice video tbh ngl
It’s uncommon until it happens to you. I freeze for 1 day and then I torch everything.
