Fake salmon is actually a breeding ground for parasites - you must learn to tell the real from the fake

In the past couple of days, a news article about salmon has exploded online. The article states that one third of the salmon on the Chinese market is "claimed" by the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

But what the article refers to is not salmon, but the salmon "knock-off" rainbow trout. This kind of fish is a home for parasites, and if people eat it raw, they will become infected with parasites.

Salmon and rainbow trout look very similar, but once rainbow trout matures, it has a rainbow-like stripe along its side, and the stripe becomes especially vivid during the spawning season. The flesh of salmon is very firm, but the flesh of rainbow trout is relatively loose. You must recognize the difference!

Rainbow trout contains all kinds of parasites, including the common liver fluke and lung fluke. If eaten raw, it may cause infection, which can then lead to liver, lung and respiratory tract diseases.
