Since those are probably not intended for raw or undercooked consumption, they don't have to be frozen.
If they were being sold to be consumed raw, then yes, they would have to have been frozen.
Now if you buy that sword fish and salmon and make chiviche or something out of it it's up to you if you want to freeze it for the recommended periods or not or take the risk of the parasites.
