Dinner was epic!

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

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?

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.
