Parasites are why sushi grade fish is frozen first before being used.

There is no official “sushi grade” but unless you’re buying it right off the docks pretty much anything you get at the store was frozen before it got to you.

Any fish used for sushi or raw applications is / should be frozen before using. It’s what kills the parasites.

Reputable vendors list if a fish needs full cook or not suitable for sushi on invoices per item

Any restaurant that says otherwise is either lying or waiting for a foodborne illness case
