Last year I cleaned a crappie and ate sashimi, and it was delicious. I brought a tube of pre-made wasabi with me. I wished that I had better wasabi, but it was the best sushi (I know it is sashimi, but I will use the sushi term) that I have ever enjoyed. At the time I had never heard of teh warnings against eating freshwater fish raw. I still don't know if I believe these warnings. COuld someone provide me with a reliable source that warns against eating raw freshwater fish? I do not understand whyt freshwater would be bad, but saltwater would be okay. Thanks you in advance for your help.
