YoSushi while pregnant - would you?

Love love love YoSushi and have a real craving for it today. Never been poorly following a visit so should be fine while pregnant?

Partner not convinced. Found this on NHS website:
www.nhs.uk/chq/pages/is-it-safe-to-eat-sushi-during-pregnancy.aspx?categoryid=54

Seems to say that as long as it has been prepared properly it will be fine. I can't see a big chain restaurant not preparing the food properly (for fear of litigation?) so ... would you?

I checked with them, their salmon is farmed not wild and all their fish is frozen before use so perfectly fine for us pregnant ladies. Helpful considering the cravings I had in my last pregnancy, I just wish they had a loyalty card!

It's fine. It's prepped from frozen fish, which is acceptable as per the NHS website.

I would and have!! Like others have said it's frozen before prepping so you're safe :)

I would. My friend ate it in pregnancy as she was told it was frozen. I wonder if they freeze the seared beef though as that's my fave..

If I'd have not been able to eat YO Sushi, my husband might have divorced me. Grin As others have said, its pre-frozen and if in doubt, stick to the veggie ones and the hot soups, etc.

I've skipped the beef, which is a shame as it is one of my favourites.

I wouldn't decide to go just the two of us as I can't be bothered to ask which raw fish has been pre frozen. But if OH was desperate for Yo Sushi or I was invited by friends then I would go. There is plenty of non raw fish stuff on the menu and I guess I could try to ask what was pre frozen.

Omg best news I've had in a while thanks everyone :D

I thought about asking whether it was frozen first but didn't want them to give me a funny look haha!

I've been so sick up till now that I couldn't consider it so will be fab to go.
Funnily enough I'll eat seared beef no probs, was worried about those fish wormy things!

The amount of sushi I ate during my last pregnancy from there, I think I would be the perfect test case for if there would have been an issue. My poor DH isn't really a fan and we were there almost weekly! Enjoy :)

I did when I went to Japan when pregnant with DD1. It's not yosushi ofc being in Japan. But I had lots of sushi and sashimi.

I've eaten sushi by the tonne as long as it fits within the tuna etc limits... I love it usually but since I've been pregnant I can't get enough spicy california rolls. In fact, I might get some now... Grin

I've eaten loads of sushi this pregnancy! It's weird cos I've never been that into it before but it's been a major craving of mine for months. I didn't have Yo Sushi, but lots of fresh stuff from a local sushi bar and it's been amazing.

Fish fine but skip the beef as it's rare and theoretically a toxo risk

Would and have! Life is too short to restrict myself any more than the NHS says to!
