Food critic Keith Lee went for a food review at the famous sushi restaurant chain 'Fob Sushi Bar' in Seattle. He posted a video of his review on TikTok on November 10. While Lee did not criticise the restaurant and seemed to have a decent experience, things took a turn after his followers saw his video of eating sashimi.
According to Daily Mail , several viewers reported that they saw something moving in the sashimi and believed it to be a "worm". The viewers criticised the restaurant and raised safety concerns. In a follow-up video, Lee addressed the issue saying it "did appear that something moved" on the sashimi.
He added that he couldn't "confirm or deny" whether it was a worm. He shared that he has not experienced any suspicious side effects or illness, but claims that one person alleged that they were hospitalized the next day after eating at the same chain. After receiving backlash, the restaurant denied the reports of any "worm" in the food, calling it a rumour.
Taking to its official Instagram handle, the restaurant said that the movement in the video is due to the fish's natural elasticity.
