I have been eating raw fish in NZ for a while now, my aunty commented the other day that most NZ fish have parasites and should be cooked before eating. I think that's just a shame, Trevally, albacore even snapper is just awesome with Japanese sashimi soy and some wasabi.

Do others here eat raw fish locally caught, noticed any 'parasitic effects', wwhatever that could be?

Just scoffed some Trevally.... Yum yum.

Wash your Kahawai fillets till the water stays clear (no blood) then try it raw fish island style.... bloody good mate

piper off with head and split and gut out , lay fish and open up then roll over with a bottle or rolling pin . lift out bones cook or eat raw .

i dont owrry about it. i tend to eat off the snapper frames as im filleting if i missed a little

let the stomach sort it out.

I'm not eating raw barracoutta, otherwise tuck in. kahawai is fine sashimi. All fish is best left whole sitting upright in salt ice for 24hrs before eating sashimi style imho

whos gonna be the first to post up a "how to" then   would like to see some dishes on this tbh..

Trevally is good - crunchy firm texture convinces even the sceptics a squeeze of lemon/lime as you eat it is a good change from Bazza's soy
