I've been using sushi grade fish for my small sushi restaurant for 1 month now...

I've been using sushi grade fish for my small sushi restaurant for 1 month now... I was to use a more economical grade of fish to lower my sushi roll prices. I have heard that farmed salmon is much cheaper and contains near to none parasites. If I buy a farmed salmon fillet from costco and I freeze it according to fda guidelines, would it be safe to consume for my customers?
Thanks Simon.

Hard to say...

I don't know anything about the costco salmon fillets so don't know how they were treated before being packaged for sale there. My guess would be that it was packaged without the intent of being served "raw" (as in sushi or sashimi) so it is probably meant to be cooked before being consumed. As far as freezing it yourself, it may be difficult to get it frozen according to fda guidelines since those temperatures are really low and for an extended period of time which varies depending on how much lower you can get the temperature. I would be hesitant to use the costco salmon for sushi purposes based on those reasons.
