  11. Freshly frozen fish shouldn’t be fishy. Trust your gut and return it.

  12. The big salmon fillets from Sam’s, the ones in the translucent bluw container, always smell fishy immediately after opening. But rinse them and the smell goes away. I think the smell accumulates and concentrates when they are enclosed, but after rinsing it shouldn’t have much of a smell, though tuna has a slightly more pungent smell than salmon.

  13. This is normal, and safe to eat. This tuna must have been sitting for a few days before.

  15. If something doesn’t taste right done eat it. It’s a good rule of thumb which your body is well calibrated for.

  17. This’ll sound kinda weird, but, does it have a faint wet dog smell? Some of the gassed and vacuumed fish can develop a weird bag funk that’s not unsafe to eat. Just, not awesome.

  18. 1. Duh?

    2. When i made sushi for a refrigerator type sail counter, we only did a 24 hours shelf life. But that was just the life of the sushi plate. The fish might have heen unfrozen for as long as 3 days.

    Frozen at -20•f, stored at 40•f, for sale at est ~50•f.

    If it was in a closed door refrigerator, may be ok depending on when it was made.

  24. I have a high pain tolerance if I’m shitting fire for 3 nights should I go to WebMD

  25. Not sure why anyone would sashimi eat something store bought that has a few days best before date. To me that means cook it…. We were always brought up on sashimi grade means fresh fish marked as such…. Sliced as sashimi. Or buying slices cut up fresh and eating it that day. Anything leftover for next day means cook it .

    If it’s not marked sashimi grade that day I certainly b wouldn’t eat things with a few days use by date. Note as lot of people posting from overseas seem to do this though. Same for Costco bought, frozen defrosted etc. Guess each their own?

  26. If it tastes slightly fishy it just means it wasn’t frozen on the boat when taken out of the water or it wasn’t frozen immediately when removed from live storage. As long as it doesn’t taste offensive to your senses you are probably ok. But if you want good sashimi go to a proper restaurant and eat in or catch and prepare yourself if you know how.

  27. I’ve noticed that almost all sashimi from grocers tend to have that fishy taste you’re talking about. Either rinse it or drown it out with soy sauce / wasabi.

  28. You can brine it in a half/half soy sauce/water mixture for an hour and it should be significantly less fishy!

  29. I ate raw geoduck clam once it didn’t have a smell texture was fine came from a reputable establishment and within and hour I was so sick I couldn’t walk. I slept in the bathroom that night. Took me three days to recover.

  30. So I bought some cheese cubes from the store today and for some reason it tastes cheesy. Is this normal?

  31. Looks fairly normal to me but idk lol I just know sometimes my grocery store sushi can be a bit fishier then restaurant sushi but it has been sitting out in a plastic container/seeping in its own fishy-ness all day so maybe that’s why?? Idk but good luck stomach lol!

  32. Honestly I rarely buy sashimi from even the supermarket. Sushi yes, sashimi NO. Better to buy Lox and maybe fresh fresh – sushi grade tuna from Costco or a reputable fish monger or higher end super market. But that see thru box with not even valid gari and squirted wasabi … eek. Always do a smell test and see how slimy the fish is. Last … if in doubt … sear it dip it in some lemon and soy sauce the citric acid will cure it a bit. Sashimi is not to be bought by roadside stores

  35. It’s fine. In Japan they actually have techniques to serve this. One drop of soy sauce, flame seared and two drops of lime. This is called Aburri and it actually tastes amazing.

  38. >fish tastes fishy. Is this normal?

    I honestly could only tell if I taste it myself, but since we don’t have that level of technology yet.. I can’t help you. It looks okay, if that matters.

  40. Wherever it is taken from the sea, so many things can happen, but it’s the end stages that can effect the freshness. Example, I used to call on a chicken plant in Los Angeles that packages for the consumer, thighs, wings, breast etc. there were 2 buildings, and they would put all the pieces in a giant tilt truck to move from breakdown to packaging, it was in the sun, in the summer, 90degrees, between the 2 building, maybe 20 feet total in space. I went in and saw it and thought “it’s probably just a few minutes”, came out after my sale call, 75-90 min later, same tilt truck (I sold them the tilt trucks, so I knew it was the same one with the same code) in the sun, middle of summer, downtown LA.

    You can’t tell me those ones on top would last as long on the shelf as the bottom ones that are probably still frozen with 1000lbs of frozen chicken on top, but the top ones were probably 100 degrees for a good hour.

    Factories are not perfect.

  42. I know what you’re saying, but it kind of reminds me of a friend who tells me she likes eggs until they start to taste like eggs

  44. Headline in news this week “fish tastes fishy” lol just messing with you.

  45. We wash all fish three times and soak in ice water before we use it. This takes away the fishy smell.

  47. “slightly fishy” is almost certainly just a freshness issue, not food safety. I would irresponsibly speculate that commercial fish is probably safe well past the point that it becomes undesireable to eat as sashimi (at which point it can probably still be good seared), though of course your mileage may vary.

  49. It’s always such a disappointing feeling when this happens. Last time I bought sushi it was awful, the fish tasted very fishy and the rice wasn’t cooked through. Didn’t even swallow my mouthful and chucked it in the bin
