make your own sushi…help?
i absolutly love sushi and as a gift i was given a kit to make my own (mat and stuff like that) can i get regular raw tuna/salmon from the store i get all my fish from (its a fish market not a grocery store) or do i need to get specific fish? is there fish that is just for sushi or will any Raw Fish work?
Look for fillets that are bright in color, not dull or darkened or dry looking. Buy loins or thick fillets, not steaks because they are much better for slicing. Try to find fillets at least one inch thick, so you can slice a wide enough piece for Nigiri sushi.
Use cooked real Crabmeat or imitation, it’s your choice. It’s amazing how imitation crab tastes so good in sushi, and that’s what I use. To select imitation crab, squeeze the packet with your fingers. If it is nice and soft, then the texture is good and product moist. If it is firm or hard when squeezed the product is dry and may be course in texture. Always pick the soft product. I don’t know where you live so I can’t recomend a spot to buy Sushi Grade fish so here is a website I have used in the past

Their products are good quality and the price is fair. I have yet to have a probliem with them. I hope this helps you.
