Raw fish sushi health concern

Sushi is a healthy meal when prepared and served properly. When serving raw fish in sushi or sashimi, make sure the fish product is safe to eat raw. This is commonly stated by the supplier as "sushi safe" or "sashimi safe". If the packaging does not state it, consult your fish supplier before consuming it raw. Also note that pregnant women and health risk groups should not eat raw fish at all.

Kazari.co.uk is a one-stop shop for those wanting to make home sushi in the UK. After being told by almost every fishmonger in the UK that their fish was sushi grade, the Kazari team had their doubts. This led to a lot of hard work from which Kazari was born in early 2012, specialising in sourcing the highest quality fish and sushi ingredients for online home sushi. Kazari is a young and small company growing quickly. As well as selling unique home sushi making kits, they also supply some of most highly acclaimed Japanese restaurants in the country.
Kazari's Ethos - Traditional sushi makes use of only a limited number of ingredients, it is therefore imperative that each ingredient is of the highest quality. We are only interested in the highest quality sushi grade fish and sushi ingredients available. This is why we are some of the first retailers to offer fresh wasabi from Asia, perfectly reared Hamachi from Japan and tender red snapper caught in Sri Lanka all delivered nationwide in under 24 hours. We are also proud members of the National Federation of Fishmongers.

Have you tried looking at Catalina Offshore Products? They ship Unagi and Anago. Here's a link, http://www.catalinaop.com/Eel_Unagi_Anago_s/108.htm
Take a look at the Sushi Grade Fish Campaign and read the details about the campaign...they explain everything!

I'd like various websites to compare prices so the more the better!
Also, for more details about sushi grade fish, and what it really is (hint, it's not as legal definition) http://www.sushifaq.com has a big writeup on that topic...
If you make your own sushi at home, don't use raw fish that hasn't been adequately frozen. Note that home freezers usually can't produce low enough temperatures. When you buy fish to make sushi at home, be sure to choose only "sushi grade" or "sashimi grade," terms which indicate that the fish has been commercially frozen according to FDA regulations.

Well, from what I'm seeing in that link http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi-grade-fish.htm , as long as you stuck the fish into a freezer for a period of time (depending on what temp your freezer is) it would be fine.
Freezing does not kill them they merely lie dormant
Yeah, but why would you do that? That kind of defeats the purpose of spending the money on fresh fish; it's already priced at a premium before they tag it "sashimi grade". You should purchase the fish the day you plan to consume it. Obviously, the level of convenience varies.
No, not necessarily; all oily fish (sardines etc.) are high risk because of how their bodies concentrate certain chemicals. Fish that live in water likely to contain any kind of sewage or industrial waste can also be dangerous. Either go to areas known for fishing or buy from a reputable fishmonger.
Yes i would be since freezing will kill the main parasites that inhibits the fish
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
smoked salmon (lox) is used in a variety of sushi rolls, of course you can use it!
:D
Salmon is not always pink meat. There are different types of salmon, & the best (in my opinion) of these is a white king salmon, not as common as your pink salmon, but extremely delicious!
