Do you eat raw fish? Read this.

by Gloria Gamat on July 15th, 2007

I don’t. Even though I have been eating fish my whole life. Not even the popular Japanese delicacy - sushi or sashimi it is called right? ;-)

Some fisherfolks here in my region eat raw fish direct from the sea - alone or vinegared. It is quite a delicacy - it is just that I am quite queasy with anything raw or medium rare.

Anyway, while fish is a cancer-friendly food, people should still be careful of what raw fish they eat especially if there are headlines out there that says: worms in fish can cause liver cancer.

The fish in question is a freshwater fish found in Southeast Asia - cyprinoid fishes common in rivers of Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. Read the full article at PLoS Medicine.

I love fish, but I love them cooked. I mean fishes from the sea. Freshwater fish in my vocabulary is one whole lot of a different story.
