Do yall think their salmon is fresh enough to eat raw? Fresh Market said it is, but not sure if I should trust it

Last time I went to Whole Foods I went to the fish section. I asked them if they had any sushi grade fish and they said yes they do, but they still recommend searing it before use to 100% prevent from bacteria.

I seared it and it still made some bomb arse sushi. However, next time I will probably flash freeze it instead of searing it to keep that cold temp but still kill the bacteria.

Sushi grade---aka, they paid somebody to pick the worms out of the flesh before you buy it. Beaucoup parasites in salmon, sorry. It's a fish I won't eat raw.

which is why flash freezing would be important.

I eat way too much sushi to really worry about this

I've been to the seafood section of Whole Foods and asked if they had "sushi grade" salmon. They said no. I walked away and for some reason I came back and asked for some Tuna, not sushi grade, but I guess he assumed I wanted it. He then told me that the sushi people (in the prepared foods section of the store) get their fish from them. He says they soak the fish in salt water first for an hour or so, wash it off and freeze it. After it defrosts, they prepare the sushi for customers to eat.

So does this work at home? And does it still taste fresh? Next time I get some I'll just put in the freezer overnight then let it defrost in the fridge the next day

The salt water soak seems pretty odd

They claim that it's just an extra step they take in killing bacteria aside from the freezing. Beats me.

You're missing out. I eat it raw all the time and have no issues.

The only concern any inspectors have is referred to as the parasite destruction guarantee, which is accomplished by ‘freezing and storing seafood at -4°F (-20°C) or below for 7 days (total time), or freezing at -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at -31°F (-35°C) or below for 15 hours, or freezing at -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at -4°F (-20°C) or below for 24 hours’ which is sufficient to kill parasites.

In general, freshwater fish should be frozen but Ocean fish like tuna are ok to eat without freezing.
