Salmonella Sushi

I'm not a big fan of sushi myself. The Husband loves it and we try to go every so often when we're in larger cities. I think I'll avoid it from now on though.

I had food poisoning before and never want to go that route again!

I heard that. There has always been a risk with sushi, but I won't stop eating it. Maybe just order the cooked stuff? Not all sushi is raw, FWIW.

Also, my worst bout of food poisoning came from COOKED shrimp fried rice, a very basic dish from a semi-popular chinese restaurant here in town. Terrible experience. Not only did I never go back to that particular place but I am still hesitant to order shrimp from any chinese place and usually just get beef or chicken now. I think it would take a similar experience before I just up and quit sushi.

Mine was from Hawaiian Punch that had been sitting in front of a space heater overnight. No bueno.

I've eaten sushi most of my life, but the only time I ever got food poisoning was from undercooked shrimp DH made!
