Common Sense Guidelines for Open Sashimi in the USA

Definition: Open sashimi refers to raw fish or seafood that is not served immediately after being cut. It is typically displayed on a bed of ice or in a refrigerated case.

Food Safety Concerns:

  • Raw fish can harbor harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella, Listeria, and Vibrio.
  • Open sashimi is exposed to the air, which can increase the risk of bacterial growth.
  • Improper storage or handling can further increase the risk of foodborne illness.

    • General Guidelines:

  • Choose reputable restaurants
    Look for establishments with a good reputation for food safety and hygiene.
  • Inspect the display
    The sashimi should be fresh and well-refrigerated. Avoid any fish that looks discolored, slimy, or has an off odor.
  • Ask about storage
    Inquire about how long the sashimi has been on display and how it has been stored.
  • Limit consumption
    Open sashimi should be consumed within a short period of time, typically within 2-3 hours of being cut.
  • Avoid high-risk individuals
    Pregnant women, young children, and individuals with weakened immune systems should avoid consuming open sashimi.

    • Additional Tips:

  • Use chopsticks
    Avoid touching the sashimi with your hands to minimize the risk of contamination.
  • Order fresh sashimi
    If possible, request that the sashimi be cut fresh to order.
  • Consider cooked options
    If you are concerned about food safety, opt for cooked sashimi or other seafood dishes.
  • Report any concerns
    If you experience any symptoms of foodborne illness after consuming open sashimi, report it to the restaurant and seek medical attention immediately.

  • Japanese grocery stores
