I caught a king salmon in the ocean. I froze half of it in vacuum-sealed packing with the intent of eating it raw like sashimi. I heard that sashimi has been flash-frozen to kill all the parasites. Will the regular freezing do the same thing?

Salmon must be quick frozen and they must be kept at a VERY low temperature for 10 days before all possible parasite and parasite eggs (the main concern) could be killed. A lot of store bought salmon were frozen but there's no guarantee that they were kept at temperatures low enough and long enough to effectively kill all parasite eggs. Freezers at home, including those that got quick freeze feature, can not achieve the temperature low enough to effectively kill parasites and their unhatched eggs. You must keep them frozen for at least 30 days before you could eat them raw and you must deal with possible freeze burns and freezer smells. This is why sushi grade fish usually cost more.

Bacteria is not killed off that easy. I did work on Egyptian mummies at the University of Minn. way back. taking med courses and, we found bacteria that was later rejuvenated after 4500 years so, it goes without saying, it is possible to get parasites or bacteria from eating raw fish. This is entirely up to you but, remember this, the fish eat creatures that are bottom feeders, they can get parasites from this, then they pass this on, so, I would cook my food first.
If you have to be taken to a hospital, make sure someone knows what you ate last, in case your in to much pain to relate it to the ER doctors.

You can eat it but you run the risk of contracting parasites. Freezing is not 100% and salmon have one of the highest concentration of bacteria of all edible fish. What i would suggest is instead of eating it completely raw. Sear the outside and leave the inside "rawish". That way you are even less likely to contract a parasite.

Yes you can because it is fresh!! Bacteria takes time to form, while fresh fillets are almost sterile! Fish parasites usually are harmless to humans. Can't hurt to freeze it.

No, I don't believe it will do the same thing. If you eat this fish, you should definitely cook it thoroughly.
