Sushi

[Ashdub07]

I want it. But since I can't eat the raw fish is it okay to eat the ones that are steamed? I have always just avoided it with previous pregnancies but I really want it....

Well I know preggos are more susceptible to food poisoning so I don't eat raw fish while pregnant. But I never thot of cross contamination. I will just make it at home ;) that way I know what's up

Ive eaten sushi through both pregnancies just make  sure you go to a well established place instead of a hole in the wall uve never eaten at. As long as u stay away from the raw fish you are good to indulge! Including smoked salmon. Its not that you cant eat raw fish its the concern for salmonella if they dont prepare it properly.

I make some with the chamoy which are salty/sour prunes. Wooo it's good

If its cooked you should be fine...and yes homemade sushi hand rolls. Lol...I'm going to the store asap because you made me want some!!!

[Ashdub07]

I can make sushi! So if I make it at home it's okay to eat the smoked fish right? As long as its low mercury

Make your own California rolls... sushi rice...seaweed leaf...crab meat and shredded cucumber....yum!!!! Shrimp tempora...yum.

I was told to avoid it all together due to cross contamination. I'm a huuuge sushi fan (eat it 4 times plus a week) & i know that they do not use soap to wash their equipment so often the fishes &veggie rolls have touched in some way. So just be cautious! :)

Yes you can eat it while b.feeding, baby is no longer attched to you & the sushi will be processed enough before entering your system :)

I ate sushi at the hospital the day I had my youngest lol. But if the salmon is smoked that's okay right? Cuz it's not raw?

[BabyTurnip]

I just get the veggie ones for now. Im dieing for smoked salmon! Lol but i dont know if you can or not so like you i just avoid it. Is it safe to have sushi while breastfeeding though?
