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

    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.
