I haven't tried eating my yellowtail raw yet, is 24 hours on ice sufficient to kill any parasites present in the fish? Josh recommended a minimum of 24 hours on ice and preferably 48 hours

I was thinking of throwing the meat in the freezer for a few hours before trying it raw

Did some quick reading and it seems home freezers cool the fish too slowly to kill parasites and only degrades the quality of the fish
Maybe dry ice?

Looks amazing! My friends always love when I have them over for "all you can eat sushi".

I fillet mine once home, vacuum seal it then freeze it for a week or so. Still tastes great and I don't notice any issues with texture when eaten raw or lightly seared (and have not been sick.... yet, as I knock on wood).

I ice my fish for a good 24 hours.
I constantly drain any water and add new ice as needed.
After that I grab a beer, a towel, and my knife and go to town on it.
