Disclaimer: Consuming raw freshwater fish poses potential health risks if not properly prepared. To ensure safety, it is recommended that raw fish be frozen at -18°C for several days to eliminate parasites and other harmful organisms. Please note that most residential freezers may not reach this temperature.
