Yeah, but random beef mince and eggs you buy from most supermarkets aren't treated in the correct way to make them safe for raw consumption.
I think that most people are still surprised when they find out that sushi and sashimi fish isn't just exceedingly fresh, but also frozen for a set time at a set temperature to kill parasites.
Freezing bursts the cell walls of the muscle tissue as water expands. This is why people make such a to-do about fresh seafood, pouring screaming animals alive into boiling water and such.
Yeah my wording was a bit off. I mean that people think that the reason you can eat sushi raw is because it's fresh. The actual reason is that most types of fish are flash frozen to kill parasites before serving as sushi or sashimi.

If it's fresh, it ain't frozen.
