I've heard cooked fish or vegetable sushi, made fresh, is ok...have other eaten it?

[Lolpigs]

I would only avoid it from things like those shops in food courts in large shopping centres.

If you know the shop I wouldn't worry. I eat sushi but only buy it from one place at my work that I know is flat out, and I've never been sick before.

I dont personally take chances with unknown places. I would rather be safe than sorry.

Speaking of which do you think Subway is ok? I've had some serious cravings for it but have been concerned as a friend told me to avoid it.

i only ever eat tuna sushi (fussy eater lol) and i reckon its fine.. i tend to only go to really busy sushi places, my way of thinking - the busier they are the fresher the food, but thats me

and lolpigs - i still eat subway, if it tastes bad when u bite into it, dont eat it, its no different than buying eg. ham & salad ingredients from the supermarket & making a sanga at home, you know? thats the way i see it anyway

I still eat subway .... as for the sushi, I've heard so many different things and not being a fan of it myself I'm not going to be much help but as other posters have said if you know and trust the restaurant then it "should" be ok as long as the rice is fresh too

Just for future notice, DH read an article yesterday cautioning people against sushi as all the ingredients come from Japan and with the radiation contamination it may be very unsafe. Just something to think about!

I didn't eat sushi last pregnancy nor will I this one. Not worth the risk to me.

That is a load of rubbish.
Sorry, but sushi rice you buy at the store NOW, even if it did come from Japan (which is doesn't all do), is nowhere near the contamination - it was grown packed and shipped months ago and holds no contamination risk at all.
The same goes for Nori.

I ate sushi early in my pregnancy with DD but I was in Japan at the time & my Japanese friends made it in their home for me fresh... mmmmmmmmm No problems with my pregnancy due to the sushi

I totally agree with the others, home made would be best then you KNOW its fresh otherwise a well known sushi place that has a good turn over

I would be suprised if the sushi stores used Japanese product for their sushi. I have sushi rice in the cupboard which is Australian, and the nori is made in China, so I really don't think the contamination is a risk (even if the Nori needs supplies from Japan, there is still a quality control that is required, so radiation and contaminated prodcuts would not be used)..

I ate sushi throughout both my pregnancies. We made it at home whenever I had a craving though, or asked for it to be made to order in a store.

I ate sushi the whole way through. If you read any of the warnings againt sushi it is because of the raw fish! Otherwise you wouldn't be allowed to eat rice etc either!

I just made sure it was made that day and was fresh, tuna avocado was my FAV and I ate heaps of it. In saying that, just like any other food, don't get it from somewhere that looks dodgy!

And as for everything being made in Japan, I am sure they make the rice other places and the fillings like tuna, chicken etc aren't made in Japan either!
