The Origins of Sushi
Salmon was never eaten raw, only fully cured or cooked. It was considered to be a low quality and cheap fish in Japan. Pacific salmon is not suitable for sushi because it's full of parasites.

Today, salmon is considered an essential component of sushi in many places - thanks to the efforts of Norway.
