Quick question - I'm off to a Japanese restaurant in a minute, can I have sushi?

[overbuurvrouw]

DD is away for the night so DP and I have a (very rare) evening for ourselves. We're off to the local Japanese and I'd really like some sushi. Is it definitely off the menu? Is there anything else I should avoid there?

raw fish is off the menu if pregnant (sashimi)

sushi is OK though, I think

Raw fish not reccommended. I'd be careful of cooked seafood, too.

I would ask the waiter what is raw and what isn't
Or go somewhere more pregant women friendly

Oh bugger! Absolutely and definitely? There is often raw fish in sushi isn't there? Or am I just showing my culinary ignorance?

sushi is the rice - so you could have sushi with meat/veg/cooked seafood?

Thanks dinny!

They are very friendly so I'm sure they'll be able to suggest an alternative.

have a lovely evening!!

hw pg are you? you obv don't/haven't suffered from ms if you are fancying sushi ?

Oh no I have had awful MS and really craved sushi, I think it was more the ginger that I craved really but some salty soy with it really helped my nausea

oh yukky yuk

I have just stopped feeling sick but the thought of raw fish makes it come flooding back!

Thanks everyone! We had a lovely evening and a delicious meal, I managed to avoid all the lovely sashimi and shellfish.

I'm now feeling extremely well rested after my first unbroken nights sleep in a year. Wonderful!

I'm only 9 weeks but the morning sickness has largely abated. Thank goodness

I realise I'm too late for you...but just in case anyone else is reading this. Sushi is fine in pregnancy!

Yes, I ate a lot of sashimi when pregnant - by law in this country it has to be frozen, and the only thing you could get from it is a parasite, which is killed in the freezing process.
