Recommendation:
If raw, raw-marinated, partially cooked, or marinated partially cooked fish are served in ready-to-eat form, ensure: (1) The person in charge records the freezing temperature and time to which the fish are subjected and retains the records on the vessel for 90 calendar days beyond the time of service or sale of the fish; or (2) If the fish are frozen by a supplier, a written letter from the supplier which specifies the fish species involved and both the temperature to which the fish was frozen and the total time period at that temperature. If the supplier provides any of the same species to the vessel in a fresh state, ensure there is a designation on the outer packaging for the parasite-free fish.
