| Author | Topic: Caviar and raw shrimps |
| Carolyn 10-16-2002 10:50 AM | Hello wai! Is caviar ok to eat? I hope so...i REALLY LOVE IT! ![[Big Grin]](../biggrin.gif) |
| Wai 10-16-2002 12:42 PM | I'm sorry, but caviar is never raw. Caviar very easily deteriorates, and therefore always some heat-treatment is applied... ![[Frown]](../frown.gif) |
| Carolyn 10-16-2002 01:55 PM | oh i c - and what about raw shrimps - are they ok as raw animal food for the day? I know a fisherman who catches lots every 2/ 3 days |
| Wai 10-17-2002 06:24 AM | I'm sorry, but I don't know whether consuming fresh raw shrinps is REALLY risky... I couldn't find much info about it, except for * a warning (because of unacceptable residues of veterinary drugs called nitrofurans) against eating warm water shrimps (from Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, India and Bangladesh) * and about ONE case of botulism due to eating raw shrimps in the EU in 1998. * And, of course, shrimps from 'faecally-contaminated' water should not be consumed (this may cause cholera). * Freshwater shrimps may sometimes be infected with roundworm (the Angiostrongylus cantonensis), which can cause local inflammatory reactions in humans. (Most patients recover fully) |
| Carolyn 10-17-2002 12:56 PM | The shrimps are freshly caught from mediterranean waters close to sicily. Ill check it out & tell you if i get to know anything. Thanks wai ![[Smile]](../smile.gif) |
| Wai 10-17-2002 04:48 PM | So, *1, *3 and *4 are not an issue here... |
| Carolyn 10-24-2002 06:34 AM | Until i get my hands on really fresh fish & shrimps i would like to know if consuming raw but previously frozen fish / shrimps can affect cellulite. Besides can you tell me which fish are safe to eat raw, puffer fish is availiable where i live for example, but it is poisonous hehehe! And how do you prepare raw fish to be eaten??? thanks! |
| Wai 10-24-2002 06:55 AM | quote:Yes... quote:I haven't really looked into this (I really should); I just eat raw tuna, salmon and mackerel, but there are many other fish that you can eat raw. The most tasty fish are high in fat (as the ones mentioned), which is essential, luckily ![[Cool]](../cool.gif) You can check out sites and/or books about sushi / sashimi to find out what other fish you can perfectly eat raw. Please let us all know when you find out more, okay? quote:just cut away the skin and cut it into pieces... |
