Raw sushi or fresh caught fish is a staple in many areas of the world. What is truly important is how that fresh fish/seafood is handled, the temperature that it is kept at and how the cleanliness of the food preparation areas is maintained. Fish are a great source of omega 3 oils and an excellent protein source; there should be no reason to fear any suchi that is properly prepared.
