[Sca-cooks] Raw Fish

[Kingstaste]

That is equally true for many deep water oceanic fish.  State laws vary, but
one method for sashimi quality fish is to super-freeze it (quick freezers)
for a minimum of 15 hours before thawing and serving.  This serves to kill
parasites.  I have heard about restaurateurs taking melon ballers to scoop
out parasites after the freezing step.  Ick.

Noble Cooks!

Greetings from Solveig! As a rule of thumb, you should cook fresh  
water fish and not serve it truly raw. The problem with certain  
freshwater fish is that they can be infested with parasites which can  
infest humans.
