My business partner, 20 years ago nearly died from parasites eaten in sushi in a restaurant in Mammoth Lakes, Ca, of all places.

I think US “sushi” has to be from commercially frozen fish, or at least the salmon, to kill off known possible parasites.
I like to eat Sushi but I get the ones from the store that are rice, vegetables and that fake crab type stuff you can buy in the store. Like the Kemp brand.
I hope that doesn’t carry parasites
I will tell a seafood story to remember if anyone ever has a problem
Btw, have activated charcoal on hand because it helps.
I had no problems with mussels until one time I did. Apparently, alcohol and mussels can create a problem but I don’t remember if I had alcohol.
I now cannot eat mussels without getting violently sick. I guess something stays in your system creating an allergy or food issue. DECADES later. I recently tried. Didn’t eat activated charcoal just to see..wasn’t long before I projectile vomited and downed the charcoal.
These were not fresh mussels. They were frozen and had gone through process to make them safe. Don’t remember what it was called.
Now, whenever I eat shellfish of any kind I take activated charcoal just to be safe.
My favorite item on the menu where I work is Ahi tuna, seared very rare. I eat it quite often. Your comment along with others on this thread are changing my habit.
