Buy frozen fish.
It's not clear to me why this raw fish preparation would be safe to eat. Tuna has a low probability of parasites, but some of the other fish mentioned do not. Sashimi sold in the US has been frozen to kill parasites. It's not clear to me that a brief douse with citrus juice just before serving would be sufficient to ensure safety. I'd be interested in comments from anyone with more expertise than I have on this subject.
Buy frozen fish.
According to the Houston Department of Health and Human Services, it doesn't ensure safety. But depending on the type of bacteria present (ciguatoxin for example), the fish must be properly frozen first, otherwise no cooking technique will kill it. Will this revelation stop me from eating sushi, crudo, and ceviche? Nope.
