If your mouth isn’t watering by the time you finish reading this article, then we didn’t do our job! We do San Diego Seafood the right way at Serea, and that includes how we do Sashimi!
WHAT IS SASHIMI?
Sashimi is a Japanese dish of thinly-sliced raw food, usually fish and seafood, but also sometimes other meats. Sashimi is often confused with sushi, but there is an important distinction that needs to be made: Sushi is made with seasoned, vinegared rice, either shaped into mounds and topped with items such as raw or cooked seafood, or rolled in sheets of seaweed called nori around fillings of raw or cooked seafood, vegetables and other items.
Think of Sashimi as something that’s sushi adjacent, but mostly featuring the raw protein itself. If you’re still intrigued, we’ll move onto our Sashimi offerings. Sashimi, loosely translated, means “pierced body,” and it refers to a delicacy of thinly sliced fish or other types of meat. Traditionally, sashimi is eaten plain without accompaniments aside from soy sauce. This is to allow the flavor of the meat to shine. Sashimi-grade fish is some of the highest quality seafood in San Diego.
