Sashimi Raw Fish Recipe

I love eating raw fish. Eating raw seafood is actually a delicacy in Japan called sashimi. It is not really limited to fish or seafood and go way beyond that. But in this article I would be focusing on seafood mostly tuna, salmon, and uni (sea urchin).

There are many restaurants that offer these kinds of dishes that are served raw. Mostly you will find them in Japanese restaurants. But ideally, you can serve them yourself just by going to the grocery and buying it. This way, you can have raw seafood at a more affordable price. If you have not tried eating raw fish or seafood, it is definitely something that I recommend.

I find that there's just something very sensual with the experience of eating raw seafood. It is one of my favorite things. There is just something so unique and fresh about its taste and texture that cannot ever be replicated by cooked seafood. I actually get into deeper detail about this in my personal blog post about raw fish recipes.

This is probably one of my favorites. Yes, most definitely a favorite. Raw Salmon has this unique and luscious taste that is just so creamy and filling in the mouth. It is an absolute delight. WIth the soy sauce in wasabi it is just an amazing mixture of tastes that will surely leave you coming back for more.

Raw tuna is also an absolute delight. although I would say that it is not as delicious as salmon sashimi, it does not mean that you should not try it. Tuna offers things that are very unique and incomparable to salmon. When I say that tuna sashimi is not as good as its salmon counterpart it is merely a personal preference. But nonetheless, eating raw tuna is also a very great experience. It is seriously a must-try.

And now of course to move on the my ultimate favorite raw sea food dish and that would be uni or sea urchin. It is usually served with rice and japanese sea weed wrapper as a sushi but can also be served as a sashimi, meaning just on your plate ready to eat.

I've always described eating uni as some sort of, well, it is a lot like tasting the ocean. But this is in a good way. I am sure many skeptics out there are thinking that the sea is salty or something like that. But what I really mean by this is that it gives you this sense of freshness of the ocean. It is more on the aftertaste, really. It is just this indescribable feeling and taste. Just thinking about it now makes my mouth water.

This is surely a must-try. It is highly recommended. It is what I consider to be the best raw seafood to eat. It is even better than raw salmon, in my opinion.

Of course for the sauce I would recommend the soy sauce Kikoman. It is a Japanese brand of soy sauce that has this traditional way of making it. It truly has a pedigree in making soy sauce and this is very much reflected in the taste of their products. Of course don't forget to put wasabi or Japanese horseradish as an additive to the sauce. But don't put too much if you haven't tried it. Just the right amount, in my opinion, will create the perfect balance of tastes that one is aiming for.

Eating anything raw is quite risky. Make sure that you are eating fresh fish and that it has not been stored in the freezer for too long. You also have to remember not to have it exposed in the open air for too long. It could be a breeding ground for bacteria.

Where to buy the fish is a very important factor. You have to make sure that the place you are getting it from is very trusted because there are many kinds of diseases that may arise from eating raw fish such as mercury poisoning or other kinds of food poisoning.

I think there is really a risk with eating absolutely anything. There's really nothing associated with just eating raw fish. Food poisoning can happen to you just by eating anything. So really, it is up to you whether you are up to the challenge of eating raw fish. All I am saying is that if you do not want to try it out then you are missing out on the great experience of eating sashimi or raw seafood.
