The New York Times had an op-ed last week, Chicken of the Sea about the risks of eating sushi (particularly while pregnant). It's turns out "raw mollusks [oysters and clams], not the fish typically used in sushi, that are responsible for the overwhelming majority, about 85 percent, of seafood-related illnesses."
"If you take raw and partly cooked shellfish out of the equation, the risk of falling ill from eating seafood is 1 in 2 million servings, the government calculated some years back; by comparison, the risk from eating chicken is 1 in 25,000."
