I know the proteins are converted like in heat cooking, but lime juice doesn't kill worm eggs. Freezing does I think it takes 2 weeks. Anyhow I wondered if that was usually done with ceviche. I know it's delicious, those recipes Rick Bayless was fixing were to die for.
Oh sorry! I was referring to worm eggs, like tapeworms and nematodes. Fish get them like crazy. Especially late in the season.
Aren't those in the digestive tract? Do you eat the guts? Do tape worms lay eggs in the flesh of the fish? I didn't know this.
I live on a salmon river and get fresh salmon, trout and steelhead. I've never seen a hint of worms, eggs or nematoids in any of it. I'd say its a difference between fresh water and ocean fish but these all go out to sea and come back. ill have to research this too.
I just did a brief google and yup it's risky but if you're getting your own fish and handle it correctly it's better but there's more danger in bacteria than parasites apparently. I'd just freeze it good first. I don't think that will eliminate bacteria but would be helpful for worms eggs.
I love steelhead!
Oh that looks good Penny! Did you wrap the cabbage leaves around burger/rice mixture?
