Key there is "... in Asia".

It's my understanding that, either by tradition or by law, raw fish used for sushi/sashimi here in the USA is hard frozen - which kills most of the parasites.

Or at least that's what I'll keep saying in my head when I dive into another obscene sushi gorging event.

Mackerel (Saba) Nigiri, btw. That's where it's at! Good as sashimi too. High in those healthy fats and a sustainable fish as well.
