Hello, is this sushi grade or just marketing?
It's generally impossible to tell if fish is "sushi grade" or safe to eat raw from a picture alone. If you are looking for sushi grade fish, get fish that has been deep frozen (-20C for 7 days, or -35C for 15 hours, a household freezer does not get this low), or ask a local fishmonger with a good reputation for what they would recommend is safe to eat raw.
If you are looking for a source for sushi grade fish, please make sure to include information about where you are, country and city.
This was posted because, from your title, automod guessed you were asking about whether it was safe to eat certain fish raw.

• 1 year agoAs I understand it, sushi grade is just marketing. There are FDA guidelines out there on processing and handling of fish to be served raw however, which is the best resource for any concerns you have. Generally speaking, food safety for raw fish revolves around addressing bacterial pathogens and parasites. Proper handling and cleaning addresses the former, and FDA guidelines on dealing with parasites through freezing addresses the latter. Inasmuch as your fish in question, I would ignore the term “sushi grade” and see what info you can find, minimally, on if it was frozen.
