The intestinal parasites some of you must have from eating this shit... Yikes.
Nah. In america any raw fish consumed as poke, sushi etc... has to be deep frozen to kill certain types of bacteria. So there really isn't anywhere going from boat to table. All of the fish must be flash frozen. It doesn't affect the texture and the fish is not as "melt in your mouth" as it would being truly fresh.
To princess L. Those poser NY restaurants cutting up tuna in chunks and mixing all sorts of shit is not Poke. Poke needs that Hawaiin chili and seaweed. With it it's just poser shit.
