So the main thing is if you are buying farmed Salmon you simply need to make sure the particular farmed salmon follows the necessary measures to prevent parasites. I'd probably also look into them specifically to make sure they have a good reputation. Other then that, Tuna is generally always safe to eat raw even wild caught (there is a small risk but the rare parasites aren't dangerous as the likes of Cod or Salmon can have. Unfortunately freezing to the super low temps needed for full parasite destruction, often isn't done except for "sushi-grade" fish (or for tartar). So good farmed is likely the only practical alternative. I would note the curing process he does I would guess is mainly to improve the flavor by removing the fishiness that can build up on less fresh fish?

Note point 3 of the farmed (aka "aquaculture") regulations, though: the farmer doesn't need to actually prove they've done any of the things the FDA says they must do. To comply, all they have to do is say, "We guarantee that we follow the regulations", and then as long as they don't get inspected** and caught flouting them, they're golden. Your chances of avoiding parasites, on the other hand? Not so guaranteed. ** See elsewhere for the garbage fire that is the FDA inspection process.

Hi, if I flash freeze salmon with dry ice and then put it in a regular freezer, will that lead to similarly higher quality than just popping it in a regular freezer? I heard the slower crystal formation is mainly why fish/meats can become watery upon thawing, but in my mind it makes sense that once it's frozen it shouldn't make a difference at what temperature it's stored, but I could be wrong... Also, if I flash freeze it does that eliminate the need to cure with salt/sugar?

If it's farmed, it should be good to go after the cure and wash. The only reason you would want to freeze the fish would be to kill any parasites. But because it's farmed, there shouldn't be any parasites anyway. Also, in order to kill the parasites via freezing, you need to keep the fish frozen at -4 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 7 days. Most household freezers don't get that cold.

My wife and I are trying this tonight for the first time. We followed these exact steps with one or two added steps for extra safety. We bought farm raised salmon from costco. Looks like the same kind OP bought. Sliced it up, salt and sugar cure. Let it sit in the fridge for 45 minutes. Washed off the fish really well in cold water. Then dried them and wrapped them in paper towels. Put those into freezer bags. As an extra layer of safety, we froze the fish in a big freezer we have at -10 degrees Fahrenheit for over a week. In theory, this fish shouldn't have any parasites since it's farmed. But, we wanted to be extra safe. So freezing it below -4 for over a week should've killed any parasites that may still be there. Yesterday, we pulled a bag out of the freezer and let it slowly defrost in a bowl of ice water in our fridge. It took over 24 hours to defrost. We just pulled it out to see how it looks. Color and texture is great. There is an INCREDIBLY faint fishy smell. You have to be really looking for it to smell it. We wanted to check to make sure it looked fine before we went through the trouble of making sushi rice. Wish us luck. I think we did everything in our power to be safe, but I'm still super nervous.

Wild salmon is more likely to have parasites as they go from freshwater to saltwater and fresh of which they can get parasites while in freshwater. Wild salmon also eat whatever is out there of which what they consume may carry parasites also. Farmed salmon are raised in controled conditions in pens and fed with pellets free from parasites. This is not to say they are 100% safe. Wild salmon may find their way into pens and cross contaminate. And then there is cross contamination and handling that take into factor also. Mainly salmon because of how they live are more susceptible to parasites and in the U.S. it is recommended that they be processed and froze not too long after they are caught for safety. Some refrigerators cannot reach the temperatures needed to kill parasites. The minimum I believe is 7 days at -4F.

The real issue is whether farm raised salmon is healthy, not whether we can eat it sashimi style. My perception is that fish swimming in their own feces and pumped with antibiotics and coloring to match the wild meat seems fishy

Norwegian salmon for example is typically farmed in secluded ocean farms. It's not as you are putting it if you get decent salmon, look into it. It's important to farm the salmon to garunteed they aren't exposed to parasites in their feed

@Jazzman-0 hilarious! Well if you put it that way. We all live in a polluted nasty environment. There are places that are cleaner than others and freer of antibiotics and other harmful substances. The issue isn't whether farmed salmon can be eaten as sashimi. That's clear that it can be. The issue is whether anyone should eat farmed salmon to begin with.

@devonbedenbaugh6343 I apologize. Antibiotics are used extensively in farmed salmon operations. Hence the reduction in parasites...but Norway claims to not use antibiotics, so that is a pretty solid reason to choose Norwgeian farmed over others barring any counter claims. Farmed fish are more sustainable as an option, but....Wild-caught fish have the freedom to roam in the water and eat any prey they want. Farmed fish, on the other hand, do not live a "natural" life. Farmed fish are generally "grown" as monocultures - or a single species of fish. Depending on the species of fish, they may be reared within a huge netted system in the ocean, in a fjord, or even in a freshwater pond. Most farmed fish are grown in nets that are overcrowded, which can pose problems. The population can become infested with sea lice, or other microbes, due to their congested living conditions. Diseases can spread more easily in a population of a singular species of fish. Farmed fish are typically fed an unvaried diet - usually, a fish feed or fish pellets that contain ingredients like wild fish, certain nutrients, coloring, and even antibiotics..but maybe not in the Norwegian product???

Spoiler. No, it isn't a lie. Sushi grade is a real thing pertaining to a treatment/prefreezing to kill nematodes etc (which your freezer will not do). Yeah, you could eat farmed fish that are medicated for some of these, it's not recommended for a reason. The bigger a fish is and the longer it is alive generally correlates to probability of parasites but... Why? Just make yourself a California roll with krab or something. Sushi grade isn't that expensive if you're making sushi, if you're really into sashimi, yeah it can be.

I saw in a different video that they put the frozen cut of salmon, still in its ziploc bag, into a bowl of ice water and put the bowl in the fridge for 6 hours/overnight. Hope that helps 👍

You're putting a lot of trust in the source of that salmon. it's not organic, it's farm raised in unknown conditions. I'd recommend freezing it per the guidelines for safety.
