[quote name='JimmieMac'][quote name='cheapass Gundam'][quote name='JimmieMac'][quote name='cheapass Gundam']Must have wasabi if the fish is raw.
Helps kill parasites if there were any.[/quote]
I can only hope that this was said in the "Wasabi is so hot it will kill any bugs on the fish and then can be used as a paint remover" kind of way and not a "Seriously, wasabi kills germs" way.
Because the 2nd way makes you look like a complete retard.[/quote]
Care to shed some light on what you're basing that on?
People have gone out and done empirical studies and their findings are contrary to your claim:

You're linking to a topic about alternative medicine, so, there's really nothing I can say. Just like other home remedies, if it works for you, it works for you. There's nothing saying X amount of wasabi kills x parts per million of possible dangerous levels of parasites found in fish. So how well it works is still up in the air.
But I'll tell you one thing, if you do eat a bad piece of fish and go to the doctor he better have a whole lot more for you to eat other than some wasabi paste.[/quote]
Oops, I pasted the same link twice. The first one should have been this:

That's an empirical study. I haven't found anything that backs up your claim, however.
