Costco Salmon Sushi Hack

Check out this unbeatable Costco sushi hack: turning $50 Costco Salmon to $700 of sushi at home! #sushi #sashimi #salmon #costco #japanesefood #cooking #foodie #shorts

[@shanereid110]

I talked to the meat department and he said that the fish was not sushi grade. The FDA recommends that if you choose to eat fish raw, it should be frozen at -35℃ for 15 hours and until solid and then stored at -20℃ for 24 hours before being consumed. Or you can store the fish at -20℃ or below for 7 consecutive days. This allows enough time to kill parasites that may be present within the fish.

[@gherreraj]

Yeah that’s a great way to get parasites. Please don’t eat Costco fish raw. It’s not sushi grade and is NOT safe to eat.

[@Solors]

I have been to different restaurants and they say their method of killing the parasites is salting the salmon, putting it in a cooler full of ice, and keeping it in a freezer for 24 hours. Does this work.

Don't ever ever ever make sushi with Costco fish. Especially the salmon. More often than not it has live parasite worms in it. I've seen them. A quick Google search or youtube search and you have video evidence. It might turn you off eating seafood altogether but hard freezing it kills them.

Costco sells this as Atlantic "salmon" which are farmed in nets and artificially colored due to the chosen color (they range from orange to dark pink) of the fish pellets they are fed. The biggest threat to fish farms are sea lice. Sea lice begin life as a louse in the water column. As the louse matures, it will hook onto the Atlantic Salmon and begin a parasitic relationship - feeding off of the salmon’s mucus, blood, and skin. Sometimes, but not always, sea lice can be treated solely with antibiotics.

[@wolfforce58205]

I've had multiple occasions where I've purchased salmon specifically from Costco and seen live, moving parasites in it (some kind of nematode, I think?). Which is a bummer 'cause I've eaten it raw a few times, but after having multiple occasions back-to-back of seeing "worms" in my Costco salmon I've stopped doing that. From what I'm reading online eating a live nematode can cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or even a long-lasting infection. Like, 25-years-long-lasting. Plus there's always listeria and salmonella. Farmed salmon does carry a substantially lower risk of parasites due to their parasite-free diet, but lower risk isn't the same thing as no risk. Especially since crowded conditions mean parasite spread can be rapid if a parasite does manage to get into the pool. As a raw meat lover, I've gotta say it's really not worth the risk. Freezing your meat properly to make it sushi grade matters.

[@lillynxy]

For people wondering how Costco has sushi grade fish, the only way fish becomes sushi grade is by freezing it. So yes, Costco fish can be sushi grade.

Another Myth for those that didn't know: Farm raised salmon is significantly more safe to consume raw than Wild caught. Most people think Farm raised has more parasites due to their "questionable" upbringing, but the bad parasites inside salmon we think of come from their diet, and they are fed parasite-free pellets. Farm raised do typically have more non-harmful parasites (like fish lice) on the outside, but those are irrelevant when it comes to eating the flesh and are not harmful even if somehow consumed.

Most of Costcos fish is farm raised meaning that there isn’t risk for parasites. When they are farmed they’re given food pellets with coloring in them, that’s why when you see a salmon as bright orange as this, you can reasonably assume it’s farm raised. Anyway the food pellets they’re fed are controlled and basically the salmon can’t contract any parasites. The only way the fish would be unsafe is if it has been mishandled or left out for too long and started to rot.

No such thing as sushi grade, it's a made up marketing term. Wild salmon is never used for sushi, the fat content is far too low and the incidence of parasites is 90%. Farmed salmon is parasite free.

Eating wild salmon is how you get parasites, whereas US farm salmon have strict guidelines to prevent parasites, also sushi grade isn’t a real thing, you just put ur fish in the freezer for three days then it becomes “sushi grade”

[@jdubs604]

@@JD-fn3niBro you need to watch some documentaries on farmed salmon. They eat soy pellets whereas wild salmon eats krill and plankton which makes their meat vibrant red. Farmed salmon are also full of anti biotics and they are fed supplements to make their flesh orange. They also swim in their own poop while wild salmon swim thousands of miles in fresh water. Do not eat farmed salmon!!!

ngl if it's from Cosco I don't think it's that safe...

[@Jblast252]

Freeze at -4⁰F for 7 days or -31⁰F for 15 minutes. This will kill any parasites and be safe to eat

[@marcusstrinidad]

Yup - my grandpa always had his own extra freezer in the garage for this purpose. He goes fishing basically everyday. So he has a freezer backed to the brim with fish marked with the date. Sure you can cook it same day “to be fresh” but you have to cook the fish to such a high temp to ensure food safety it kind of ruins the point.

[@mskerczak]

-40f for a good few days. No other compromise for my health.

[@nicklagoni7306]

Not really necessary with farmed fish (Costco uses farmed fish) since they're treated for parasites and don't feed the way wild caught do. Wild caught tho 100% flash freeze or you're doomed lol

[@juicelayer4208]

Do not just take home fish from the store and eat it raw! It must either be deep frozen or dry aged. Sushi fish isn't just plain old raw fish from the market

[@JamaicanFujoshi]

That looks real farm raised.

Were Japanese cave men extremely late in figuring out how to make fire?

Heads up to anyone watching this from a guy who used to be a broker for Costco, their salmon is great quality for the price but it is known to have worms in it at a higher rate than any of their other fish. Do not use for sushi, check your Costco salmon for worms, please

[@davidkim1906]

Just wondering, those that apply to both farmed and wild-caught? I’m not gonna eat either of them raw anyway, but was just curious.

[@l30URN3]

@@davidkim1906 wild has more worms than farmed but both are higher than the other fish in my experience

[@davidkim1906]

@@l30URN3 good to know, thanks man

[@jaehongsong4904]

Farmed salmon has 0% parasite infection rate. I'd say those worms are most likely not parasites but something else...which I don't even wanna know

No no no, dude you’re crazy if you think Costco sushi is sashimi grade.. you’re going to seriously make yourself ill
