Seafood processors and sushi chefs are well-practiced at spotting the worms in fish and picking them out before they reach customers in grocery stores, seafood markets or sushi bars, Wood explained. The worms can be up to 2 centimeters in length, or about the size of a U.S. 5-cent nickel.
Although the health risks of these marine worms are fairly low for humans, scientists think they may be having a big impact on marine mammals such as dolphins, whales and seals. The worms actually reproduce in the intestines of these animals and are released into the ocean via the marine mammals’ feces.
Seafood for sushi is frozen which kills these worms.
Sushi is Japanese for rice. It means a rice bar, like a salad bar. Lots of sushi contains no meat or flesh. You want raw fish?.. That’s sashimi.
