Costco Salmon Tartare (raw)

I set out to make a short about this topic and it turned into something longer.

This tartare recipe is in my book!

I love everything about this. My family and I have been eating costco’s fresh, farm raised salmon for decades. We love to eat it sliced and eaten with rice and wrapped in seaweed before dipping it in soy sauce. Honestly, I can’t tell you how many times we rave about it.

Thank you for the educational breakdown because I will be sending this to all the skeptics when I tell them I’m eating costco salmon raw ❤

I’m watching this while pooping. Epic content

An interesting thought: People have conducted studies on fish sold at a supermarket, and found that up to roughly 20% of the type of fish that customers were being sold was incorrectly labelled e.g. customers being sold Rainbow Trout where it was labelled as Salmon. Supposedly, this percentage can increase when purchasing sashimi from sushi restaurants.
This gets really sketchy when you consider specific cases like fish that is labelled as "white tuna" (which you would presume would be albacore) was actually escolar (can cause gastrointesinal distress).
Also fun fact: Escolar being sold as white tuna is legally permissible.

This was so educational and well needed. Also well said in a way thats easy to digest

farmed over wild.
if purchasing wild make sure it's been frozen or better yet cook it.
Got it!!

Flash frozen gives me peace to cook to decent temp and keep it tender and juicy. But Im paranoid so I just dont eat any fish raw on purpose anymore. Its not even the fish im skeptical about, but the handlers lol. Like you said its a gamble either way though.

What about open pen fish farms that are raised in waters that are shared with wild fish? Genuinely asking because that's how a lot of fish are raised where I'm from 😢

This is an excellent and concise explanation. Great vid! Also, where did you buy that knife? I've seen it in your videos before, and I've been looking for one like it for years!

While Costco is great for raw salmon, Aldi has frozen tuna steaks that have been incredible for pokebowls

[Dog_Alarmed]

That looks good. I’ll eat anything you make!

Thank you for the explanation on what is considered safe to consume raw. I just visited Japan recently, and many of their fish markets serve fresh sashimi and sushi with fish brought in directly from deep sea fishing boats. In this case, the fish is wild caught; sure it’s fresh, but how do they limit the possibility for parasites?
Not sure you know the answer, just food for thought.

[Lycaonightley]

Anisakis is the biggest risk you need to be aware of in Japan but what paracites do you have in Canada?

I preordered in May, the Bad A promised the Book to arrive by mid November and now they say it‘ll come between March 5 and May 27! Why is that so? *insert dramatic hand to forhead Motion here* (Order going to Germany). I can’t wait!

Fresh wild caught alaskan salmon is so tasty, you can even taste the difference between hatchery fish and wild salmon runs. Don’t eat it raw though.

Hey Jon,

Just wondering if you've checked out Voyager in Ferndale? This video reminded me of some delicious Tuna Tartare they had there last year.

If you haven't been, it's definitely worth the visit!

[belialbathory]

Costco fish is the best! Perfect for those days when being silly are a must. Like wearing a bear onsie jammie and eating raw fish.😅 😊
Important question is it still tatar without the egg?

[Mar-enfrance]

When I ask for sushi grade, it means double the price!
