To let DD eat sushi

[helpmegetthisrightplease]

DD loves Japanese food and I occassionally take her to a Japanese resturant that does a buffet (set price to take as many dishes as you like off a conveyer belt).

She loves it including the sushi. We went today and I heard a couple of women loudly commenting how wrong it is to let a small child eat sushi as they cant digest raw fish.

Now I'm wondering if its alright to let her (she's 3+7). She's been eating it on ocassion for about a year and always really enjoyed it. am I wrong to let her?

I think (from memory) there is a particular problem with some sort of tapeworm you can get from raw fish (destroyed when cooked) and also cooking makes food poisoning less likely

Sushi fish is flash-frozen, which kills the parasites.

Smoked salmon isn't raw though is it?

AS for the sudden change in temperature thing the other day at work this lady went all slumped over and funny and when she came to she said she thought it was because the air conditioning had suddenly come on. At the time I thought don't be so ridiculous. Now I feel very

Dilemma456 - I think they already know we're a weird lot but then again, so are they .
FWIW, they do only eat very fresh stuff - ie caught that morning, sometimes still moving (ugh) as they eat it, and any dodgy establishments serving 'old' fish would soon get shut down.
Not that I'm an expert - I'm veggie !!
