I disagree, Reg.  Restaurants in Hawaii serve raw fish all the time.
California too.  Try a Japanese restaurant and they'll dig a fish out of a
tank for you, slice it up and serve it directly.


The law exists. The FDA mandate covering fish intended for raw
consumption is in The FDA Food Code, 2001 edition.

See: Freezing 3-402.11 Parasite Destruction

http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/fc01-3.html

The list of species and conditions requiring freezing is
covered in The Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards and
Controls Guidance, Third Edition, June 2001.

Table #3-1 - Potential Vertebrate Species Related Hazards

http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~comm/haccp4c1.html

Table #3-2 - Potential Invertebrate Species Related Hazards

http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~comm/haccp4c2.html

There are other applicable guidelines and requirements which vary
by state and locale. The ones in my area (California) are less
strict than the FDA, though.
