Costco employee here, I've seen worms sometimes in those salmon and have to bring it to the back for disposal. I'll say a good 97% of the time they are good to eat mainly they get rotated out often. Its actually a pretty common thing and i still highly advise against eating it eat raw. Do what you will with that info.
From farmed salmon as well? Farmed salmon raised on parasite free food in open waters is actually supposed to be ok to eat raw so long as it’s fresh, even without freezing, per the fda.
@@aptapathy I did a research project on farmed salmon and the (mainly farmed) fishing industry and I can assure you that farmed salmon is definitely not parasite free. It’s a major concern for spreading disease between farmed and wild fish. It’s honestly a very interesting topic and if you have the time I would recommend looking into it yourself. I could go on and on about it but it’s really a topic best suited for your own perspective.
@@patriciaarlen3382there is an issue for sure, but the parasites they have are sea lice, which are not harmful to humans. I’m mainly referring to farmed Atlantic salmon in Norway, which is where Costco sources from.

I spent way too much time looking for all these Frozen pictures... Recipe for this yeoneojang (raw marinated salmon by @JeccaChantilly). Recipe in details
USDA requires fish that is meant to be served raw to be frozen at -4 F for a week or -30 F for 15 hours to kill off any parasites as they can be a serious detriment to your health. Also, farm raised salmon has larger fat lines than wild caught.
Most fish including salmon have been frozen btw. Right after they catch it and process it, they generally flash freeze fish. This should also kill off parasites pretty quickly
Wild caught salmon needs to be frozen for couple days in order to kill off any possible parasite/bacteria. Same for farmed salmon but farmed salmon is a lot less likely to have parasites (it still can have it). Most health departments will require you to freeze salmon before serving raw to be safe anyways. For cooking, no need to freeze.
im not a sushi chef by any mile here by from what I remember you don't make sushi with raw fish, correct me if I'm wrong but you're supposed to freeze them for a certain amount of time to kill the worms (if there are any) right?
Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate that you pasteurize the egg considering while you filmed this months ago considering the potential bird flu issue it was retroactively very responsible
Iirc the lines could just be because they're different cuts or because farm raised salmon tends to have a higher fat content so the lines are thicker than wild salmon
You realize that both fish were frozen at some point right? The fish you get from the big stores like Costco are shipped from across the country if not the world. There is no way for them transport them for that long without freezing them. They just put them out to thaw once they reach the butcher. Only way your getting truly never frozen fish is if your on the coasts or special fish monger markets. In fact the frozen fish at the store is often better and more fresh because it wasn't thawed out to lay around for a long time. Get your fish frozen, and make sure it's wild and comes from a good region.
Is it really safe to eat the fresh salmon without freezing and curing, etc? A lot of people could have touched the fish with their hands. I always freeze and cure just to be safe because I want to eat a lot of it and I really don't want to risk getting sick. Is that a good way to do it?
Freezing fish kills parasites but most salmon used for sushi is farmed raised and parasite free. It is necessary to cure or brine the fish though so that any bacteria on the fish dies
I wonder how bears and animals manage to eat raw fish and meat all the time without getting overrun with parasites and bacteria induced illnesses or food poisoning. Ik crocodiles have antibacterial blood, hm that would be really cool to have but idk about the effect it would have on our gut flora
I once watched news online, someone felt so itchy from under the skin inside his body, then went to the doctors, went through a thorough examinations, and turned out that his body got infested by parasites and almost went to his brain too. And this happened bc he ate raw sushi and handling it not the right way. Look it up, I’m sure you can still find that news somewhere online.

it made me confused when someone said "fresh" packaged salmon. by the regulation in US, they are all definitely frozen before packaged and sold. the difference can be the freezing time, . the one you said frozen is probably going through longer in freezer, in the first place you compare 2 fillet of different cut
To safely consume ANY fish raw it needs to be “sushi grade” doesn’t matter if it’s farm or ocean all fish consumed raw must be flash frozen to make sure all parasites are killed
I know the frozen one is safe. The fresh one I'm not sure about because there is not good regulation on salmon farms enforcing that they are following the guidelines the FDA gives for raw salmon consumption.
no fresh in my eyes is not safe to eat raw and has never been frozen. sushi grade salmon has had the right steps taken to kill all bacteria and parasites
if the salmon is sushi grade, they are both frozen, Sushi-grade fish is caught quickly, bled upon capture, gutted soon after, and iced thoroughly. Known parasitic fish, such as salmon, should be frozen at 0°F for 7 days or flash-frozen at -35°F for 15 hours. This will kill any parasites, making the fish safe for consumption. So this video make no sense

I had never tried making sashimi or nigiri, because of your channel, I did and loved it!
I'm so glad!🫶🙏
To be honest I eat raw salmon from HEB quite often. But HEB does source differently i think because its only in Texas.
You get a like for the StevenMRE reference lmao
(flamesless ration heater steaming away)
So? What's your taste test between fresh and frozen? Which taste better sashimi? Thanks
great video but you cant just talk about the differences between frozen and fresh and then not tell us how their tastes differed :
Mistakes were made! I'll make a longer version that differentiates between both

I’ve learned a lot from your channel 🎉
Happy to hear that!❤
Costco salmon is great during the fall and winter, they're fresher around that time.
Yummy love sushi so I no I'll love this plus easier to make❤
Fresh is always better
every restaurant you go the the fish has been frozen

its for a week to a month at -4f , that's what any responsible sushi restaurant would do
God I love this individual so much.

Do you use cook egg yolk or raw
Love the Steve mre homage
Throwing my boy Steve in there has me instantly like this!
I ❤ that you call them wonions. That got a thumbs up from me immediately. Lol

What does it mean "wonions"?

yes. no sushi restaurant sells never frozen salmon. if they claim they do they are lying or you should run
Gordon would be proud: Its RAW! it's fu***ing RAW!
I love that “nice” comment I used to watch those MRE videos all the time
Looks so gooooood
I loved it!

How’s the frozen vs fresh?
Looks great!
Im going to try😮im go smokr mines for 1 hour
What about fresh frozen do u know how much of a difference that is? Like frozen a day or 2 after caught
Mre 1998 cameo was good
Yummy
Lets get this out onto a tray
Nice
Nice!
what goes into this marinade apart from soy sauce?
Holy shit, new 'nion drop
wOnions!
How can he eat it without freezing it first? Does he think the marinade will save him from parasites?
i liked the part where you compared the two like you said you would
He compared the 2 but I don't think he said which one he likes better after tasting.
Iirc the lines could just be because they're different cuts or because farm raised salmon tends to have a higher fat content so the lines are thicker than wild salmon
Whoaaa i’m surprised i actually seen steve on this channel 😅🤣

this is wrong. salmon is shipped overnight in refrigerated cargo containers.

This is heavenly
STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE
There was a white worm slithering around in our fresh pkg of salmon a few years ago from Costco. You couldn’t pay me to eat it raw.
they were both frozen at some point per USDA standards

Pretty sure he has a method to make sure he kills parasites first. Like in this video one has been frozen
No it’s not you have to freeze it yourself for a while this guy has parasites
Freezing fish kills parasites but most salmon used for sushi is farmed raised and parasite free. It is necessary to cure or brine the fish though so that any bacteria on the fish dies
It's best to freeze it for a while at a very cold temperature to be safest though
I wonder how bears and animals manage to eat raw fish and meat all the time without getting overrun with parasites and bacteria induced illnesses or food poisoning. Ik crocodiles have antibacterial blood, hm that would be really cool to have but idk about the effect it would have on our gut flora

Can I use another fish I don’t very much like the texture of salmon when it’s raw I’m from Hawaii so we use to eating tuna and pelagic fish
Shrimp is super popular for this marinade! I haven't tried it with ahi, but I could see it working well
Nice.
I would be more interested in your opinion if you compared the same two cuts of salmon. js.
Steve1989 suddenly appearing at the word “nice” caught me off guard

I won’t be eating sushi again omg 😢
Eggs are generally already pasteurized in america
I just wanted your final opinion and thoughts about the differences between the 2 salmons bit it ended with you staring at the screen eating...
What's the soy marinade?
I think it means marinate in soy sauce but you have to dilute the soy sauce with water otherwise it would be too salty.
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin or cooking wine
3/4 cup water
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 onion roughly chopped
1 scallion chopped into 2-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves smashed
1/2 inch piece ginger
6 black peppercorns
1 dried chili pepper optional
1/2 cup unpacked bonito flakes also called katsuobushi

Don't u have to freeze the fresh one either way to safely consume raw fish
He discusses in other videos that farm raised salmon is typically exempt from the freezing requirement.
@@Ozzgod09 good to know
@@Ozzgod09there’s a really high probability that the “fresh” salmon was frozen at some point

I’m led to believe that they’re different species of salmon. Now I want sushi.
Nice
Your tummy is a hive now
What’s in your marinade?
Can you teach me how to pasteurized eggs please?
Sous vide
Dat Steve1989MREinfo tho
Is it alright to eat that costco frozen salmon raw?
I thinking the marinade is probably needed here for it to be safe.
You need to freeze it follow fda guidelines. Parasites are a risk factor it must be frozen for I think 7 days
no please dont eat any costco salmon raw ever. unless you want to shit your brains out
Should've put the frozen ones on frozen rice
I thought that you were supposed to freeze the fish to kill the parasites before using for sushi
Niiice
You'd discussed before that the Costco fresh salmon was actually previously frozen. Why would the textures be so different between the two then?
Holy smokes that egg looked creamyyyyyy
how do you 'make' something thats supposed to be raw and already cut out for you?
to be honest, the steve references make me stay
(Flameless ration heater steaming away)
I was today years old, when I heard you can pasteurize whole eggs 🎉
I’ll have my salmon cooked, but I will try the marinade.
FDA and every online source says it’s safe, but random commenters on the internet think otherwise. Can’t believe you’d be so irresponsible.
I know the frozen one is safe. The fresh one I'm not sure about because there is not good regulation on salmon farms enforcing that they are following the guidelines the FDA gives for raw salmon consumption.
I ate costco fish raw (using this method) a few times and never got sick but seeing all these comments... i'll probably never do it again x.x
please do not EVER eat salmon from costco raw
Do “fresh” and “sashimi grade” necessarily mean the same thing ?
no fresh in my eyes is not safe to eat raw and has never been frozen. sushi grade salmon has had the right steps taken to kill all bacteria and parasites
Okay, we get it, frozen as in the movie
We are still waiting for your review😅
Am I the only one who got the steve1989 reference 😂
if the salmon is sushi grade, they are both frozen, Sushi-grade fish is caught quickly, bled upon capture, gutted soon after, and iced thoroughly.

Legend has it that he’s still buy costco salmon into sashimi to this day 😂
Thanks for including the steve1989 meme! 🤌🏻
Only frozen fish in the condition between -40 to -60 degree is safe to eat raw...
In Japan they serve salmon without the parasites and the raw eggs without the salmonella 😅
Salmonella can only occur on the shell, so really you could just wipe it with bleach and still safely eat a raw yolk
Neither have either, anywhere. This is all myths. I’ve been eating raw salmon and raw eggs in America for decades, never once got sick
Stop implying Japan is perfect, because its not. There are idiots who eat costco raw salmon in Japan as well
@@joshuakim3734 How is that being an idiot? There’s literally nothing about it that is unhealthy
He may fuck with worms, but he ain’t fucking with no salmonella
