Food safety

Caution: medium

Keep the fish refrigerated until assembly, prevent raw-fish juices from contacting ready-to-eat food, and cook every fillet to an internal temperature of 63°C.

Risk factors

  • raw fish can cross-contaminate hands, utensils, and work surfaces
  • uneven fillet thickness can lead to undercooked portions
