Episode 02: Freshwater Sushi
In Episode 2 of the Outdoor Journal Radio Podcast, Ang and Pete recount their experience eating fresh Walleye sushi in Northern Ontario and get to the bottom of the question - can you eat freshwater fish raw?
Before getting down to business, however, the boys get into a bit of news. Topics discussed include: monkeys getting CWD; size limits for male walleye; mercury in lakes; 50% of seafood being mislabeled; eating Asian Catfish instead of Seabass; and the Ex-Lax Fish.
After going through the stories of the day, Ang and Pete call friend-of-the-show Gord Pyzer to get the biologist's perspective on eating raw freshwater fish. Topics discussed include: 25-foot tapeworms; checking fish for worms; eating grubs; black spot disease; cooking out mercury; and the benefits of being big.
Next up on our guest list was Antonio Meleca, chef to the stars and frequent eater of freshwater sushi. Topics discussed include: eating raw Smallmouth with John Snow; how to make freshwater sashimi; ceviche; flash-freezing; vacuum sealing fish; inspecting fish and chips; and finding a good fish guy.
With the score tied at 1-1, our final guest, Ken Cashin, joined the show to give us the final verdict on whether we should be eating our freshwater fish raw. Topics discussed include: risk v. reward; the dangers of eating oysters; Japan's parasite problem; sushi disclaimers; cod worms; and much more!
