[quote gstott]Sushi is amazing, you should try it. Just start with one of those fried shrimp rolls, those are pretty tasty. The raw fish is actually more tender and mild in flavor than the cooked stuff in my opinion. They flash freeze the fish which kills the parasites, and they only use choice fish. It really is one of my favorite things.

What has been said regarding food safety is on the money, but there is another reason to handle the fish you catch and keep with some care. That is the flavor! A poorly cooled, mishandled trout will taste mushy and off flavor. (yuck) I suspect that is why so many folks don't like wild trout. I have heard a number of times folks say that fish caught ice fishing taste better. While there may be multiple reasons for this, I think it may be that the fish harvested are kept cold due to the elements from the time they are caught all the way to your fridge.
One other tidbit. I have found using a vacuum sealer for frozen fish and game does miracles for the table quality.
