It is possible to be infected with the fish tapeworm, Diphyllobothrium latum, by eating raw freshwater or anadromous fish, such as salmon, that migrate to freshwater to spawn. However, freezing or adequately cooking the fish prevents infection. Most fish used in sushi- and shashimi grade fish have been frozen. Salmon is generally cooked. Not likely, tapeworms don't live in fish. But any food prepared in unsanitary conditions can transmit parasites.
