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?
