How to Cook Sashimi (Raw Seafood)
- Choose 4 round flat-bottomed dishes about 9" in diameter. Place about 1" (2.5cm) of Japanese Sushi Rice into the bottom of each. Using a very sharp knife, fillet the fish and then cut each fish into slices about 1" (2.5cm) wide by 1½" (4cm) long by ¼" (5-6mm) thick. (cutting the fish at an angle normally helps to achieve these dimensions).
- Arrange the fish on top of the rice so that each bowl has about 2oz (55g) of each type of fish (that's about 4 slice of each fish). Slice the perilla leaf (shiso) into strips and place a little between each slice of fish. Carefully place ½ teaspoon of wasabi paste on each dish, and also a few slices of pickled ginger.
- In a small dipping bowl, pour a little soy sauce - about ½" (1cm) depth - and serve next to each dish.

An alternative way to flavour soy sauce with wasabi is to place the wasabi mound into the sauce dish and then pour the soy sauce over it. This allows the wasabi to infuse the soy sauce more subtly. Personally I prefer to allow my guests to choose whether or not they make use of the wasabi.
Reviews of Sashimi (Raw Seafood)
![]() This is so delectable it's gotten to the point that when our friend gives us fresh caught tuna and we don't want to do anything else with it other than this recipe. We just buy another couple of different fish. Even as a midday meal we know to do at least 8 oz per person because it's kind of like potato chips in that you just don't want to stop eating it. Great appetizer but also great as a light meal. MacieP (2 reviews) |

Known in French as "Moules Niçoises", these are perfect either for an aperitif before the meal, as part of a barbeque buffet, or for a starter.

This is a great starter course and needs to be made the day before (which allows you plenty of time to focus on preparing the rest of your meal).

Smoked Haddock Mousse is a simple little starter that can be made well in advance and leave you free to prepare a more complex main course.
