Anisakid Parasites, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus in Sushi and Sashimi from Seattle Area Restaurants.

Samples of salmon, tuna, mackerel, and rockfish sushi were analyzed for parasites from 32 of the approximately 50 restaurants in the Seattle area that prepare sushi. The restaurants were sampled up to three times over a 19-month period. Some specialty grocery stores providing restaurants and consumers with sashimi were also sampled.
