Like I have said in the past too many parasites in fresh water fish for me . :yikes
Appreciate the warning. I'll see what the fisheries people say out here.
FWIW, talked the the fisheries biologist today. He said: crappie fillets being thin, any parasites should be readily apparent upon inspection either after filleting them or prior to preparing them and could easily be removed. Also, even if we did ingest a few he didn't think it would be a big deal.
Some fish parasites life cycle go through birds at one point , what makes them think they won't infect humans ?Quote:

I agree that freezing them would be a prudent precaution.
parasites on fresh raw fish is a health hazard

I've made it before and will again. I like sushi as well. Seems like everyone has something going in their system that isn't all that good for them. I'll take my chances with a parasite or too. Besides, that's just extra protein! :biggrin
