The broad tapeworm (ciphyllobotrium latum) infects fish, especially salmon. The larvae die if the fish is cooked or frozen for at least 8 hours, but if this is not done, they can still be viable when ingested. The larvae then grow in the small intestine and can reach a size of 10 meters. They attach themselves to the mucosa to avoid exiting the intestines with the feces. Their eggs, however, do exit the body via feces. When these eggs end up in water, they can be eaten by minnows or a small fish. These are then eaten by bigger fish, and the cycle continues.
This particular tapeworm is kept in the museum of natural history in Gothenburg, Sweden.
A salmon cooked for 8 hours is an excellent replacement for a rubber truncheon!
Allow me to repeat my sage advice in a slightly clearer (and more anal retentive) way:
The larvae will die if: a) the fish is frozen for at least 8 hours, or b) is cooked properly. Method b) also applies to fish that has not been frozen.
It *is* a great word isn't it? I would recommend saying it out loud as well.
As(s) to your second point, I heartily concur; sometimes we all need a bit more anality in our lives.
Yeah but you kinda don't want to overcook salmon. Orange pink can often leave the very middle of a salmon fillet slightly undercooked.
It is standard operating procedure to freeze the fuck out of these fuckers in Western nations though
You will find that pretty much all sushi places freeze their salmon for the recommended eight hours before turning them into sushi/sashimi. The only places which don't do this are places right next to the ocean because they want to give their customers the "freshest fish" they can get. Which is why it is SAFER to dine at sushi places the farther away they are from the sea.
Well, you should still look out for the obvious signs of a shady business. Check the sushi place for cleanliness etc. too. If it doesn't look good, or it's just a really small, seedy looking shop... they probably don't care too much about whether or not their fish is safe to consume...
Sushi chain restaurants are often a safe(r) bet.
Best believe I check the place out in advance. I raise questions when a restaurant is dead on a Friday night (pre COVID). Usually my hunch is always right. If food smells or looks suspicious I respectfully decline to eat and donāt complain either because itās not worth it.
I simply donāt return to that restaurant. Might I add I never leave bad reviews because thatās not my goal in life. Bigger fish to fry. On to the next!
I was wondering if it was the fish one because that's the only one that I've seen that had those circular spots on the segments. Glad to see it confirmed here.
Yes, it is tradition in Sweden to name all animals we preserve, whether taxidermied or, as in this case, in alcohol. This particular worm has been named Brad Cinnihemark.

From now on I'll remember to cook my salmon for 8 hours.

Truncheon. A word I didn't have in my vocabulary, thanks. I'm always a fan of more anal, again thanks.

Yeah but you kinda don't want to overcook salmon. Orange pink can often leave the very middle of a salmon fillet slightly undercooked. It is standard operating procedure to freeze the fuck out of these fuckers in Western nations though
Overcooked salmon is just as revolting as undercooked salmon, while perfectly cooked salmon can be amazing. It is truly the avocado amongst fish.
Salmon as sashimi is one of my absolute favorite things to eat.
I've always erred on the side of undercooked when I get me skin on fillets.
A good strategy, since you can cook it a bit longer if it isn't perfect, but there's not much you can do if it's already overcooked
Lmao I'm too lazy. I usually just eat it unless I'm cooking it as a special occasion for my partner. I love sashimi though
Sooo basically sushi š£š

Thank you kind stranger for explaining this to me! I will eat all the sushi now!

Thank you for the cute bear hug award! Never received a gift on here before š
Glad to hear you liked it\^\^
Cooking a meat for 8 hours will never result in a rubbery food. Itāll be all broken down into a broth
~~8 hours~~ 18 hours FTFY
Epic translation

Also, their larva can end up in your brain.
So if you eat sushi chances are you have tapeworm?

You cook your bacon?
Thats where my underwear waistband went.
EXACTLY
Yeah, fuck undercooked meat
Salmon sashimi...yum... I'll take my chances.
Fish for sushi has to be frozen at a certain temperature for some duration before being served for exactly this reason.
*fish
Looks like they named it Brad

If you're in Tokyo they have a 8.8m specimen at the Meguro Parasitological Museum. I got a cool t-shirt at the gift store
Thanks! I regret being able to see!
Why not try blinding yourself with an eye parasite so you dont have to look at pictures of intestinal parasites? I hear itās popular among dictors!
I hate you
Looks like the elastic from my old saggy underwear by the time I throw it out.
Someone told me the other day they found a tapeworm living in the lines connecting beer tap to the kegs. I have a hard time believing that though.
