Does salmon really have parasites?
Some time ago, food broke the news, which attracted the attention of sashimi lovers. The news says that there is no such thing as salmon sashimi in Japan. Although Japanese like to eat sashimi, they never eat salmon because it has parasites. A stone stirred up a thousand waves and immediately caused panic in the food industry. Even Japanese who eat raw food don't eat salmon. Do you dare to challenge the foodies in China?

Haibao specially consulted aquatic experts, watched a lot of scientific experiment videos and consulted a lot of materials, and finally found out the truth. The saying that "Japanese people don't eat salmon" was a rumor many years ago. Natural salmon has parasites. This parasite is transmitted to itself from other small fish it eats. We all know that good salmon originated in Norway. Later, in order to export salmon to Japan, Norway's big aquatic products companies began to breed salmon without parasites. The farmed salmon is pure artificial feed, and the water quality is strictly controlled. The pure waters in Norway ensure the healthy meat quality of salmon.

After the salmon was exported to Japan, the Japanese tasted it and found that it was really an extreme delicacy. They began to love salmon sashimi. The history of eating salmon in Japan is only ten years, but the status of salmon is not as high as that of tuna. Japanese believe that snapper and tuna are ingredients of high-grade sashimi.

White raw fish is the main food in high-end restaurants in Japan, and red raw fish like salmon is not seen in high-end restaurants in Kansai, Japan. With the large export of European salmon, the price of salmon has gradually declined, and finally it has reached the table of ordinary people.

According to the survey, more than 90% of salmon in regular channels are imported from Norway. This salmon will go through the national import and export quarantine, export to Norway will be quarantined, and import to China also has strict quarantine standards, so there will be no parasites. The FDA stipulates that fish must be frozen at -35℃ 15 hour or at -20℃ for 7 days before being eaten raw. The European Union requires freezing at -20℃ 1 day or above. In fact, the CDC of the Health Bureau rarely receives reports of diseases caused by salmon parasites. Compared with parasites, consumers need to worry about whether fish is frozen during transportation and whether fish is fresh.

Actually, cooked salmon tastes better. Fried salmon is an important main course in western food, and black pepper salmon is also famous. Japanese food also includes grilled salmon with miso soup. So, if you are really afraid of parasites, you can fry them, which is also good.

The most important thing to note is that there is a fake salmon on the market, which is scientifically called "rainbow trout" and is a kind of freshwater fish. This kind of fish looks a lot like salmon, but you can tell it by careful discrimination. There is one of the simplest ways to distinguish, which is cheap! The price of imported salmon will not be too cheap! Rainbow trout will be cheap!
