    I recall watching a YouTube deep dive on it and basically it was debunked. It’s raw fish, people have been eating it on sushi rice since fish and rice existed. But Norway did push it heavily in the 80’s.

    It might have been that Andong guy…

          People in Japan did not eat salmon sushi because it was considered unsafe. The type of salmon caught by Japanese fishermen is not fit for raw consumption. That’s why salmon sushi only got popular when Norwegian companies exported the fish.
