Dan, just to be clear --- you're saying that it's only salmon you'd be
worried about?

I won't be able to freeze anything --- you think that parasites might not
be an issue as long as I avoid salmon?

I'm not sure. I only know that Pacific salmon definately has parasite
issues
and you should use caution. Other fish may also have the same issues,
like the
cod. Cod around New England are filled with worms.. two years ago when I
went
deep sea fishing I got several and they all had worms coiled up in the
flesh.

Using a fork, I pulled the coiled up worms out and dropped them in the
sink.
After a few minutes they realized they were out and started moving around.
Gross!
I did not eat the cod raw.

Cod are known to sometimes have worms. This is one of the reasons that for
the most part Cod is not eaten in raw form in Japan. Cod is always served as
miso-yaki (marinated in miso and grilled) or as an ingredient in a nabe (hot
pot).
