"Raw. And you guys, I looked up the data and it's not that good. So when I look up the data, and that sounds like it's not that much, but when they do studies, uh, on sushi in America, and there are ways of handling it, and they're supposed to freeze it before to kill the parasites and stuff, but still, when they do these studies and they go around, you're looking at like 3 to 5% of the time they're finding some kind of parasite."

He argues the risk becomes more meaningful for people who eat sushi weekly, though he does not cite specific studies in the discussion.
