When did you learn how to enjoy sashimi? This is a Raw Fish Dish served in a sushi restaurant.?
Sashimi is thinly sliced, raw seafood. Many different kinds of fish (and other types of seafood) are served raw in the Japanese cuisine. Of course, the fish has to be as fresh as possible. Sashimi can be eaten just as sashimi or as nigiri sushi, in which case the sashimi piece is put on top of a small ball of sushi rice.
It took me a long time to finally appreciate and enjoy sashimi. I remember the first time I saw someone eating sashimi; I was about 9 or 10, my grandmother ordered it, and she loved that stuff. I couldn’t figure out how someone could enjoy eating raw meat, let alone fish.
As I got older, I slowly learned to appreciate the culture of food, rather than the food itself. When you’re a kid in an Asian family, you get used to seeing weird foods, so after a few years of abalone, sharks fin, sea cucumber, bird’s nest, and the like, Raw Fish can’t be that bad. At around 14, I was willing to try any food once. I started to try sashimi in its many different forms and variations, different fish, different tastes. It was interesting to think that when you’re a kid, fish is fish, but in sashimi, the fish is so important in giving a natural taste to your meal.
Then, when I started college, I was taking a girl out to dinner, and I figured sushi would be a great place. We both got the culinary lecture of a lifetime, as the sushi bar chef Kenji taught us everything he could about fish, the sashimi, technique, and taste. After a few bottles of beer and sake for the showman, Kenji gave us the one piece of sashimi that made me fall in love with sashimi: Maguro Toro. After Maguro Toro, I would eat sashimi as often as I could, although not being able to afford maguro toro was quite annoying. But sashimi is just one of those things I think people eventually learn that it is OK to eat, and once they try it and it suits their taste, they will love it.
