i love sushi, and always thought it was good for me. The thing is, this article says the complete opposite. should i stop eating sushi, or should i just be a bit more careful:

The only reason they say that is because of the fish and little sea creatures they use. If the fish are in toxic waters, the toxins stay in their bodies and you end up eating them.

So, it really depends on where the restaurant is getting the fish from. Generally, smaller restaurants don't have as much money, so they will buy cheaper fish, which isn't always the most "healthy" fish. I think you can ask the restaurant where they get their fish from. make sure that the sushi is fresh too, and hasn't been sitting around for days which is enough time for it to spoil and develop bacteria.

Stay away from small sushi restaurants. They don't always properly store or refrigerate their food, or even keep it clean enough, and that's how people get sick. Stick to the more popular sushi places. This doesn't mean they have to be the most expensive joints, just the ones where a lot of people go.

Cut down just to be safe though. My bf and I used to eat sushi once a week at and we never got sick, but we always ate at the same place, which is a small, but very busy and popular joint.
