Wes:
But I am concerned -- I have read that the biggest tapeworm known to
man, "fish tapeworm" can be readily "caught" by eating raw fish... Also,
I've read that other parasites can be gotten via raw fish ingestion...
However, I've also read that freezing apparently kills the eggs. Is
there any truth to that? Is it really safe to eat raw fish? Also, the
mercury, pcb's, etc. is a concern. And I've read about different forms
of bacteria such as ciguatera(sp?) which may reside in seafood, and
which can be quite serious.

Generally, salt water fish is safer, and wild the best nutritonally.
