[See the full post at: Daily Quiz for January 13, 2020]
I selected the correct answer.
I got it.I can't imagine eating one raw,yuck.
I got it too. Raw fish or seafood should only be used as bait to catch bigger fish.
Joan, I think it's often used in sushi. My feelings on sushi is, well, see my post about bait. 🙂
I wonder how many people confuse cold shrimp with raw shrimp. I used to wait tables and many thought the shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were raw. But they were cooked and then chilled.
I was working a trade show in Chicago for one of the computer trade papers some years back and one of the other journalists invited a number of us out for the evening. We wound up at a sushi place having freshly killed raw lobster. (The tentacles were still moving.) I think I prefer cooked lobster, though.
Supposedly ceviche shrimp is safer to eat, but I don't eat shrimp because it sometimes bothers me.
Len we'll eat our fish or seafood,grilled,fried steamed,or baked.I will eat a raw oyster but no sushi for me.When our son lived in Jersey we went to the shore and they were eating raw clams...not me.
Add me to the non-sushi eaters if raw fish is involved.
Sushi is one of those love-it or hate-it things. My granddaughter could bankrupt an all-you-can-eat sushi place!
I prefer the cooked sushi ( broiled eels mainly) and vegetarian sushi to the true raw fish sushi.
When we were in Hawaii we ate at a sushi place where the plates come past you on a conveyor belt and you grab what you want, though you can also order specific dishes if you don't see them. The biggest challenge was trying to identify something as it moved past you. The color of the plate tells you how much that one costs, ranging from $1.99 to $7.99 or so. They figure the bill by counting the used plates.
The quality was excellent, and they had a lot of cooked fish dishes as well as raw fish ones, so my wife (who like several of you won't eat raw fish) found plenty to eat. Dinner for the 5 of us ran under $100.
