Can I eat it?

Question

I love sushi more than anything. It’s our go to date night place. We’ve been going to the same sushi location for many years and get the same thing! What I always get has raw salmon and fish eggs on it. I know it’s not recommended, but I’ve also heard it’s only from not trusted places to prevent getting sick. I’ve never had a problem at this place! I wouldn’t mind picking the salmon off also, they just put it on top.

Answer

Honestly, it should be fine. You don’t get listeria from raw fish (possibly smoked, but not sushi salmon) and listeria is the only thing that you’re at a higher risk of getting while pregnant. If you’ve never gotten sick from there before, chances are you won’t get sick the next time. And salmon is actually great during pregnancy. 
I haven’t had it yet, but I’m planning on getting sushi while pregnant from a place I’ve been to a lot. Women in japan eat sushi all the time when they’re pregnant.

Answer

You can eat raw sushi as long as it's from a reputable place. I specifically asked and double-asked my doctor about this during my last two pregnancies. It's perfectly fine.

Answer

You can get cooked fish sushi with no fish eggs on it. Try a dragon maki, shrimp tempura and avocado cucumber roll no roe on anything

Answer

I eat California rolls and shrimp
Tempura rolls still! I stay away from my specialty rolls with the same stuff you mentioned on it. I love it so much more than the basics but even tho this place is expensive and trustworthy I don’t risk it

Answer

I ate raw sushi weekly during pregnancy. It was one of my biggest cravings.

Answer

Sushi is cooked and it’s fine (avoid the ones you’re supposed to avoid) sashimi is a no.

Answer

I’ve eaten it all (raw fish, tuna, oyster raw) throughout the entire two pregnancies without issues and both were fine. People in japan and other country’s have no restrictions and eat freely.

Answer

I ate sushi every month while pregnant. We went to a nice, reputable restaurant and even asked the chef what he would suggest was ok as far as sushi options.

Answer

I know other women are going to say that it’s not worth it to risk it, but I’m going to say that if you trust the place and haven’t gotten sick before then you’ll probably be fine. I’d ask them if the fish is frozen (which would kill any bacteria).
