2 days ago, I got the sashimi lunch from Nama, bearden, which included tuna, whitefish, salmon, and yellowtail. Wishin a half hour I got classic symptoms of histamine poisoning, including pruiritic rash, flushing, and nausea, getting progressively worse over the next few hours until I took a antihistamines to counteract my symptoms. I am a nurse practitioner and am fairly certain of my identification of histamine poisoning, which often occurs as a result of not properly refrigerating fish. | Symptoms: Nausea, Skin Rash

Having lived in California and learning about true Sushi grade fish, I'm fearful of eating raw fish in any "landlocked" city. Just a thought. Thought I'd share it.
