If the supermarket farmed salmon says "Not for raw consumption" on the label, can I still use it to make sushi?

Seasoned Advice Asked on December 27, 2020

I have done my homework and read several reputable sources on this (e.g. this). The consensus on sushi-grade fish seems to be

  1. There is no real "sushi grade". It is a myth.
  2. Follow certain guidelines
  3. Stick to tuna and farmed salmon
  4. Freeze for 7 days at home to kill potential parasites

I just bought some fresh, never frozen farmed salmon, but the label says "not for raw consumption". Can I still use it for sushi/sashimi?

Can I still use it for sushi/sashimi?

Assuming you mean the standard raw-fish preparation method, no.

When the label points out clearly not for raw consumption, believe it or not, it's not even worth the risk.

Take my advice: Make some golden-brown crusted seared salmon!
