    No way in hell I’m eating that salmon raw if it hasn’t been flash frozen first (which, I hope, the chef has done since she paid a lot of money for it). Anisakis is something you don’t want to fuck around with.

      Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to sell raw salmon to be eaten raw unless it has been frozen to kill parasites. So because it’s been frozen, a chef bragging about how it was caught the same day would just be misleading people. It can be kept frozen for some time and still maintain the same amount of freshness for the person eating.
