Sushi?

[Kalymi]

I had some great sushi at a asian food mart the other day and wondered why i dont just make my own and save $10!

Not the sushi rolls, but the actual raw fish (tuna is my choice) is what I am looking for. It seems there is some type of brine on it or something, any ideas????

Thanks so much, me and my wasabi appreciate it!

Check under the fish and seafood heading and there are two great ideas already posted!

I checked there and have read the posts but they dont specify if there is a soak for the fish beforehand, thanks though!

Oh. I never heard of "soaking" the fish though.

The fish is not soaked or treated in any way, unless you're talking about some of the specialty sushi fish like saba (pickled mackerel). A dab of soy sauce and wasabi just before eating will do ya. Use grated daikon or chopped cabbage for the rice.

Kalymi,

You know I absolutely love sushi, but thought with the rice it was not a good thing on atkins.

Sooooo, I've turned to sushami....have you thought about that? Even though I have never prepared it, I think I would absolutely love to serve it and enjoy it at home.

Making your own Sashimi isn't super difficult, you just need to buy ultra-fresh fish, and have a very very sharp knife on hand to prepare. The people I know who make sashimi at home often have a dedicated knife that is only used for the sashimi so that it stays sharper longer (the Kyrocera Ceramic-blade chef's knives seem popular for this).
