is it safe to eat walmart salmon fillet raw?

Question

walmat sells these packaged "fresh salmon fillets". they r packaged in like, a thin foamy plate with cling wrap over the top. I was wondering if u know if it's okay to eat them raw or not. is walmart trustable? like, i dunno how clean it is (i do wash it though). and u know how sometimes u can get parasites from bad fish? and u never know what fish ur eating?

Answer 1

With most Wal Mart stores you should treat it like any other fish. It's been frozen and thawed before being put out for display, and it probably has a quicker turn around time than most places that you would buy it at. That being said, it's still raw, so there will always be a risk.

Answer 2

You should never eat fish raw, unless its specifically sushi grade or if it's smoked.



So if I were you, I would just cook it.

Better to be safe than go to a hospital...

Answer 3

I, personally, would not eat it raw. It's not a sushi grade salmon filet that they sell. It could be lightly cooked but I wouldn't eat it raw.
