Never understood how eating cold slimy raw fish became popular. Elitist crap I say. I mean I have tried it and it is just not appetizing. And I pretty much like everything. I would rather it be cooked.

Yeah, that’s why one shouldn’t eat raw fish unless it’s been flash frozen and held to -4 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 days or -31 for 15 hours to kill the parasites.
Excellent. Which islands will you visit?
COOK YOUR FOOD! It kills the salmonella.
Acquired, like so much in life, right?
Tanks, eh, I go Zippy’s get da chili/frank.

This Kansan loves Ahi tuna. I’ve found a couple of places that serve it. There are flights in daily that bring us provincials fresh fish. I’m not too fond of sushi or sashimi but love this.
First time I ever had raw fish was in Maui...talked to the poor waiter for 30 minutes about the hazards of consuming it raw. Have enjoyed it ever since. Big fan of poke too. Of course, I am of the opinion if you are going to try raw fish or fish in general, the Hawaiian islands is the place to do it. Nothing fresher.
I can’t imagine eating bait."
