How do you avoid catching worms from eating sushi?

Anisakiasis can be a real problem when eating raw/uncooked fish such as those served as sashimi. How can you reduce the risk of becoming infected with the worm?

Eating farmed fish rusher than that sourced from the wild will dramatically reduce the risk. Another way is to freeze the fish prior to eating. Freezing of herring in the Netherlands has seen a great decline in human cases of anisakiasis.
