Making your own sushi
Posted on 1/18/12 at 7:25 pm

So I've done this before but I was unaware at the time that there was a process for super cooling fish to kill the parasites that makes some fish "sushi/sashimi grade". Fortunately I didn't die and my sushi was delicious. Depending on who you ask, you get different answers on what this grade actually is but for the purposes of this inquiry, let's just say it is fish that has been frozen to -31 degrees or whatever it is in order to kill all of the parasites. Anyone have any idea if there is a place in Baton Rouge that sells sashimi grade fish? I want to make more sushi.

If you're using tuna caught in the Gulf of Mexico, you don't have to worry about parasites. The dangerous fish are salmon and rockfish.

Sashimi grade fish is frozen right when it comes out of the water.

Salmon is the one that I used and I easily my favorite. This is why I need some that won't kill me.

Right...so if you buy something at the store that says this then it has already been done.

My wife says salmon could have some roundworm, but the wildcaught from the Pacific Northwest can give you salmon poisoning disiese. This is from fish that feed on snails that live in coastal streams. 90% of cases are fatal. Stay away from the wildcaught for sure.

That's the problem. I can't find a store that advertises it as sushi safe. The first time I did it I just bought regular salmon from Whole Foods because I'm dumb. I am looking for a place that actually advertises it as sashimi grade.

when I attempted to make sushi rolls on my own, I bought salmon or tuna from Whole Foods as well as all the other supplies I needed to make the rolls. Can I tell you what a huge mess I made? And when it was all said and done, I had spent way more money to make it myself than it would have cost me to just go buy two rolls somewhere. Sticky rice was everywhere!

I've never done this.. But I usually only use Ahi Tuna and cooked crab legs and shrimp in mine.
Also to keep it clean I put my rice on some saran wrap, then put my Nori on the rice, then the fillings and roll it up and remove the saran wrap.
roll it like you would table roll a cigar..
