Billy. Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I've fallen into a heated discussion at work... On occasion I go to the supermarket and buy the freshest salmon steak and eat it raw. I love raw salmon and I have to have a steak cooked blue/rare. My workmates have said I'm taking bull and said I'd get ill from eating a rare salmon steak. PLEASE! someone back me up and say they also eat rare salmon!

Billy. Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 That's what medium is when cooking salmon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Cant see how it would make you ill as its the same as sushi is it not Exactly! But they said it was in small amounts so you don't get ill... I think it'll make you ill regardless! I don't eat raw chicken as sushi!

Beardo Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) providing you trust the source, you can eat any fish raw - i've had some amazing trout and tuna - caught myself and eaten minutes later raw.

christy Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I would have no qalms eating raw salmon but it tastes better cooked. If it's a raw trip you like then smoked is well tasty and not far off raw. That's what I think anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clueless1 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Love shushimi and eat lots of fish raw when I catch it; salmon, mackerel - anything really. It wont make you sick. IIRC it's probably actually better for you as none of the nutrients are destroyed in the cooking. Got to know the source though and I'd not do it with farmed salmon - there is a process called deading that would put anyone off eating farmed salmon, irrespective of the industries stance on welfare.

George1990 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Only like smoked salmon really, or medium with a nice lemony sauce or such like. Smoked is raw anyway isn't it? Tell em that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell em that. Funny that, as I've never deemed smoked as raw. It's a bit like saying cured ham is just raw pork... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malkiserow Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Billy, I love raw fish when it is really fresh. When we buy supermarket fish, which my Mrs loves, it makes me ill every time. I've stopped eating supermarket fist unless it is cooked, it but the Mrs still happily chomps on the tesco raw stuf . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendersons Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 would gladly eat wild salmon raw but not so happy to do this with the farmed **** just don't know whats in it, but this best way is definately cooked rare nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we buy supermarket fish, which my Mrs loves, it makes me ill every time. I've stopped eating supermarket fist unless it is cooked, it but the Mrs still happily chomps on the tesco raw stuf . Fortunately my mate is the fishmonger at Waitrose so he tells me what's freshest and he's been there as long as I remember, so he knows a thing or two...! However, unfortunately you can tell your missus that the entire Tescos sushi range contains no raw fish. They print it in very small writing on the packaging and since reading it, I've stopped buying it...
