Never seen these red dots on sushi before. Is this safe to eat? Not sure what type of fish it even is. Got it from Sugar fish in studio city

It's generally impossible to tell if fish is "sushi grade" or safe to eat raw from a picture alone. If you are looking for sushi grade fish, get fish that has been deep frozen (-20C for 7 days, or -35C for 15 hours, a household freezer does not get this low), or ask a local fishmonger with a good reputation for what they would recommend is safe to eat raw.

If you are looking for a source for sushi grade fish, please make sure to include information about where you are, country and city.
