Was this sashimi cut too thick?

1. It’s too thick for me. But thickness are chefs personal preference, you can ask him if you can switch with thinner slice, as a chef I don’t mind when customer ask this kind of request

   NB: it feels like brick because he gave you the tail end sashimi. I never use tail end for sashimi, only for maki or other thing

2. Not a complaint but those look like large cubes of salmon

3. That’s too much fish in one bite for me haha but I also only eat sushi 🍚

4. traditionally looks thicker than it should be, but sashimi is so widely interpreted its dealers choice 🤷‍♂️ if you’re paying good money for it then i wouldnt mind thicker slices for myself

5. I mean, that’s strictly a matter of opinion and personal taste.

   I would say yes, that was cut a bit thick but I bet there’s people that will like that.

6. Damn that chef is generous … yeah a bit thick but man I’d just take a few bites. Instead of one

7. That ain’t sashimi that’s a steak 😂

8. Thicc king energy

9. It’s the tail end which is especially firm too, it should be sliced thinner or saved for maki or salmon mix imo

10. Yes

11. That sushi Chef needs serious training.

    The rolls are 70% rice and are gigantic, and the sashimi is better fit for a bear.

    Did a bear make this?

12. You should be able to eat sushi and sashimi in one bite. This is too think unless “the giant” is part of your name.

13. Think I’m part bear because that looks good to me

14. Anyone else ever want to just take a big bite out of a salmon steak sometimes??

15. The chef doesnt look like they know what they doin but at the same time i aint gonna complain too much about getting more food 🤷‍♀️

16. Real thick! You can always just cut it with your chopsticks tho!

17. Way too thick.
    Rolls also don‘t look good.

18. Really can’t tell or make any comments till we see how it fairs in a wind tunnel

19. I know everyone is saying to thick, and fair enough it’s sashimi. But I’d devour that, looks so good 🤤

20. Too thick . Yes. Sashimi isn’t a steak

21. 100%, id still absolutely devour it though

22. Thicc

23. People assume that more is better. It’s not a steak or a hamburger. Any proper place would never do this; but this shit appeals to customers who don’t know what is “authentic.”

24. As a sushi chef, I have my own aesthetic in presentation and shape. But that is the way I trim a saku block before slicing. The thickness depends on the height, width (saku block) and the density of the fish, and I don’t feel wee have alot of decision with this. I wouldn’t give someone a thick cut of flounder because it is naturally chewy. Based on this picture it appears that you received the tail end of the salmon, which is not great for Sashimi.

25. This person doesn’t know what they’re doing. They’re in need of a lot of training

26. The thin slice of salmon looks good for sushi 🍣 😊

27. Give it to your mom she likes them thick

28. In my opinion, the thicker the cut the better.
