“Some Common Misconceptions about Sushi & Seafood”


I came across this very informative article on sushi and seafood from Origami Magazine issue 17. I had to dig around the Internet to find the online version, as I have the magazine, itself.

If you think fish has to be fresh to be sushi/sashimi, you need to read this article.

  1. Sushi chef here :

    Yup how the fish is prep is very important

    Sushi chef at higher level will focus on their rice and vinegar , everything else is second

    Each fish have their peak time for tastiness

    Curing , aging , drying , even marinating are many technique for sushi chef to learn , hence it takes years to master it

    I’m at 15 years and I still mess up my rice sometimes

    Also you learn everyday and there’s always experience or knowledge that get pass on between chef and their apprentice , so the flavor / technique of a chef is always evolving

    i personally learned everything in USA , recently i went to one of my old colleague , he went to japan and study there and comeback , after a night of dinner , it open up my eyes… all my knowledge goes thru out the door , because his technique and flavor is so much depth yet so simple

    I actually have to change all my vinegar and sauce recipe to make it as good as him
