So, what's the big deal about eating raw salmon, anyway? Is it really that different from eating raw oysters or steak tartare? Well, the thing is, salmon can contain some pretty pesky parasites that can make you sick if they're not cooked properly.
But, here's the thing: freezing can actually kill those parasites, making the salmon safe to eat raw. It's like when you wash your hands to get rid of the germs - freezing the salmon is like giving it a deep clean. And, some sushi-grade salmon is even pre-frozen to ensure it's safe to eat raw.
Now, you might be wondering, what are the symptoms of salmon poisoning, exactly? Well, they can range from mild nausea to full-on food poisoning, complete with vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. Not exactly the most pleasant experience, if you know what I mean.
