I am going to go make some now!!!
LOL this talk of sushi has made me crave tuna avo sushi hardcore!!!
This is our first and I had a friend (who owns the best sushi place in Canberra) make me fresh sushi when I went to her resturaunt and she knew I was pregnant and I could hear her yelling at them saying "make sure it's fresh! Make sure you don't touch anything else until it's made!" lol... she was def looking out for me!
I would say be very careful! Most places you can pick the gross unsafe sushi from the good quality sushi places.
I was just going to ask this question myself, as I am a HUGE sushi fan. My DD also loves it, so where ever we go she asks for it for lunch, and then of course I am tempted to sneak a piece or two! I had two pieces of tuna sushi today. I am also a tad wary about it after hearing all the warnings. I think you just need to buy it from a reputable sushi store and one where the turnover is high as mentioned. That being said I wouldnt buy myself a container for lunch, I would only sneak a piece or two of my DD's. I am so much more relaxed this time around, with my DD I followed the rules no exception!
I saw a report on TV done recently Australia wide on sushi (hand rolls) places and 4/5 places tested were contaminated with listeria, my doc told me of all the things to avoid in pregnancy hand rolls are the 1st, that rice you haven't cooked yourself, is the number one cause of food poisoning, ppl don't realise that when they get food posioning from thai or chinese etc that it's usually the rice that causes it because alot of places cook it the night before and refrigerate it. Listeria can grow in fridge temps.
