Original: The Cowfish, a very popular restaurant that sells sushi at Perimeter Mall, failed its recent health check after an inspector found a variety of troubles.
The restaurant received a 48 out of 100 on Wednesday, according to the report.
The issues included a dead insect in the ice machine; moldy lemons; a hair in crab dip; a chemical solution stored next to edamame; and contamination.
“Observed a food handler contaminate his hands by moving the trash can with gloved hands and then proceed to touch sliced potatoes without removing gloves and washing his hands,” one of the complaints in the report says. An employee was also seen touching salmon without clean gloves.
Two pieces of chicken weren’t brought to final cook temperature, the report said.
A restaurant representative said the issues are being addressed.
