I miss sushi....

Is cooked sushi safe?! All week I've been eating bland carbs like bagels or baked potatoes and now all of the sudden I want my sushi back! There's an awesome place around the corner and I miss it so much. Can I eat it if the fish is cooked? Like a shrimp tempura roll or something? I've heard yes and no... someone said no because they could use the same knife that they use on raw fish, but c'mon!!!! That seems a little crazy. I obviously want what's best for my baby, but a contaminated knife from fish that has about a 1% chance of being bad?!

    ahhh, Sushi!! That was my sign of knowing I was pregnant! I ate it twice (before finding out) and it made me sick both times!! My doctor said cooked sushi was fine.. I've been tempted just to eat it.. even if I will throw it up an hour or two later! haha

    oh my gosh... that's the best news ever! Hopefully I don't get sick! Lately it seems like I have baby induced bulimia... whatever I eat doesn't stick around too long!

    Sushi was sounding so delicious to me two days ago!  I wouldn't risk it.  It isn't just the knives, but the mats they roll it on and hands etc.  Although it is delicious I dont think it is worth the risk.

    Eating it as I type.  (California Roll and Cucumber Roll)  While it is NOT what I normally eat it's better then nothing.  My doctor gave me the ok as long as it is cooked and I "trust" the place.

    I've had it multiple times throughout this pregnancy. I stay away from the raw fish but I've had california rolls and some of the veggie rolls as well.  My pregnant friends have had it as well. All is well.

    Oh man, ME TOO!!! People keep talking about how much I must miss my wine (and I do) but sushi is way worse for me. I'm sure I'll eat some cooked at some point in the next eight months, but I'm not sure that will cut it!

    I eat sushi at least once a week. I do stick to the cooked stuff. It fills the void for now :)

    The knife/mat thing seems a bit far fetched to me, only because when you are eating something someone else prepared there is ALWAYS the chance of cross contamination, be it sushi or at a diner or at a fancy steak place. 

    I eat cooked sushi during pregnancy and frigging love it :)

    I definitely enjoy some shrimp tempura, CA, and veggie rolls like it's my job.  But with that said, I'm also one of the more relaxed preggos who, gasp, color my hair every 8 wks, take the occasional sip of hubby's vino, eat 12 oz of tuna/seafood a week, and got a flu shot.

    I ate it! Oh my god it was so good... I even ate the salad that came with it. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but I haven't even been able to SAY salad for the past 5 weeks! Could this be the beginning of the end of the crazy food aversions I had?!

    Seeing this post was so funny because my birthday was on Sunday and everyone knows how much I love sushi, little do they know, I can't eat sushi right now haha. I'm 6 weeks and a few days. Every single person who called to say Happy Birthday asked if I was going out for sushi! I was SO annoyed because it was the only thing that sounded good to me, as everything has been sounding and/or smelling disgusting to me lately.

    My friend ate the cooked stuff and was fine.  If you're concerned ask about their policies and risk of contamination.

    This post makes me happy in my pants. :D:D I know this place in Denver, called Hapa's, and they have a LOT of cooked / baked sushi - one called the Multiple Orgasm, and trust me. It's as delicious as the name of it. It's shrimp tempura in a roll with some cooked salmon, smothered in sauce and then breaded on the outside.

     

    OMFG, COME ON PAY DAY YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO GIVE ME THE GIFT OF SOOSHI!!! :D

    We make sushi all the time, so to be safe, I'll probably stick to the stuff from my own kitchen.

    I'm still eating sushi when ever I crave it. Its one of the only foods I can keep down.

    I've had cooked Sushi pretty much every weekend.  I can't live without it!  If you trust the restaurant that makes it, you should be fine.
