I also taught Parasitology at BYU for a semester. There is a little thing called the broad fish tapeworm, Diphyllobothrium latum that is contracted by consumption of raw or undercooked fish. I know that they sell sushi grade fish/salmon, but with my background, I just cannot bring myself to eat fish raw.This is probably why I was told not to eat sushi after lung transplant.
I have tried raw fish (tuna and salmon), but not sure I'd eat them again. My favorite sushi is smoked eel, and Philly roll (smoked salmon, avocado, cream cheese)
