About this episode
Eating raw fish like sushi and sashimi has never been more popular, whether that’s in restaurants or on supermarket shelves. The good news is that such dishes are rich in fatty acids and vitamins from the A, D, and E groups, which brings a host of health benefits. But on the flipside, they can also be sources of contamination.
It’s mostly down to improper handling and storage at seafood markets, or cross-contamination. Some fish caught from polluted waters may contain toxins. It’s important to know that raw fish can carry parasites.
What kind of contamination? What are the parasites that can contaminate fish? How can I avoid getting contaminated? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
