Title: Is this fish OK? please help
Post by: Joy2012 on January 03, 2012, 08:00:27 am
I am brand new to the raw animal meat diet. After reading much in this forum, I am cautiously trying raw fish.
My local Sprout store is selling this frozen "Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon fillet":  On the package it is written that the salmon is "Wild Caught in the Pristine Waters of Alaska (Coppe River)... product of USA" 
Will people say this salmon is safe to be eaten raw?
Thank you for helping out.

    Is it GE? Is all salmon now possibly GE? I'm not sure what health hazzards GE salmon may pose.  Such a shame what corporations and lawmakers risk to our health, many a time their choices affect the people and animals adversely.

I don't know if the fish I bought is GE. On the package it says "Certified Sustainable Seafood MSC...This product comes from a fishery which has been certified to the Marine Stewardship Council's environmental standard for a well-manged and sustainable fishery."
I have been eating a very-high-raw vegen diet for a few years. It did not bring me optimal health. So I have added raw dairy these past couple of months.   Now I am trying raw fish.

I very very occasionally ate raw salmon at Chinese/Japanese restaurants. The raw salmon there was very tasty but cost $60 a meal (someone else was paying).  I wish I knew where to buy the salmon served at those good restaurants. The restaurant-salmon tastes better than the salmon I bought this time.

    Maybe the restaurant can let you in on their source if you ask them which it is.

Salmon is not the best fish to eat raw.  It is often farm-raised, and the wild salmon makes some people nauseous.  I can't eat wild raw salmon, it makes me nauseous. Some people like it, though.

Cherimoya, Thank you for your response.  I tried all kinds of raw seafood at good Chinese/Japanese restaurants a number of times. It turned out I only like salmon. When I buy salmon, I only buy wild caught Alaskan salmon.
