Not sure I'd trust these Asian markets for food/quality control wrt raw fish (and I am asian). The stores don't seem too clean.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I did buy sushi grade tuna there once or twice and didn't have any problems. Something to keep in mind with respect to sushi is that I believe there is more to it than simply freshness that qualified fish as sushi grade. I believe tuna used for sushi is flash frozen which kills the surface bacteria. While I would definitely trust the freshness and cleanliness at upscale markets like Whole Foods I would be careful about using fish from anywhere for sushi unless specifically sold as sushi grade.
