Default Sea Lice in Salmon?

Allways pass on the salmon sushi. Eating raw salmon can lead to tapeworms.
The species that are carried by Pacific salmon are some of ( if not the
longest). I am reaching back a bit to my zoology class butI think it was
King salmon that had the 40' tapeworms. IF you have to pass a 40' tapeworm
I sure you will evaluate the Sushi bar very carefully.

Ok rw, I must admit, that was far worst than sea lice.
