hi--missed some of the threads on this issue, gather there are (warranted)
)concerns about sanitation/parasites etc. Fish can be a healthy part of the
diet, it can also be a problem if caught in estuaries etc where there is
pollution. Raw fish is more of a problem because of lack of cooking, which
would kill bacteria/parasites etc. However a marinade does not qualify, in my
mind as a sanitary measure. Some bacteria etc *love* vinegars/wines etc
(these are fermentation products of organisms) so i would still count these as
*raw* fish. (processed vs unprocessed may be a different terminology, but in
the sanitation bsns, marinated does not equal cooked/fully cooked etc)
For instance, if you marinate chicken and want to use the marinade as a sauce,
it had better be cooked (heat processed) also, and the marinating vessel/plate
not used for serving or transfer without thorough washing.
Doubt this is an issue in brfdg except that if mom gets sick its harder to
feed baby. So I would not deny someone sushi, if they know the source of the
fish and are willing to take an informed risk.
