1. Doesn’t have to be pretty, best sushi is fresh sushi

2. [removed]

3. Is it smoked, or are you eating it raw?

4. Old sushi?

5. can you use the word “fresh” if it was caught 5 or 6 months ago?

6. Yikes

7. I thought that was a sweet potato

8. Looks a little bit like cat food if I’m honest… I have eaten wild caught salmon sushi and it definitely didn’t look like this

9. You guys are really laying into all of OP replies😂😂😂😂😂 damn

10. I thought only Atlantic salmon was viable for sushi grade because pacific salmon had too many parasites? That’s why salmon sushi only became popular in recent years because of fresh salmon imported by Scandinavian fishermen to Japan and the rest of the sushi eating world.

11. Be careful, you’re going to run the risk of getting sick my man. Farm raised is safer raw because the diet is pellet fed and it limits the risk of parasites, I get it’s ‘not wild’. But, most, if not all commercial salmon sushi is farm raised, carefully lifecycle managed, and processed fish.

    Since (assuming) you’re not flash freezing, you need to handle this carefully to make it ‘sashimi’ safe.

12. Bro the paper plates. Why? Do you not own PLATES?

13. That’s not fresh, please educate yourself more before posting on this community sub.

14. British sushi

15. Everyone: Be careful OP that could be unsafe

    OP: I don’t need no fancy Whole Foods education! My 6 month old salmon is FRESH

16. Looks a little freezer burn color looks dead but if it taste good 2 you I’m ok with it🙌🙌🙌🙌

17. Looks shit

18. the wasabi really will spice up the older weeks out of the salmon!! yummmmmmmyyyyyyy food poisoning never tasted so good (nor was it served on a paper plate) 😍😍😍😍 imagine the taste if it was edible

19. I thought this was a yam or sweet potato.

20. I think that this is from a male salmon swimming upstream to breed. The meat starts to become mushy and really isn’t great for consumption.

21. Id be hesitant to feed this to my cats tbh

22. My guess as to why it looks mushy is the freezing/thawing process. Commercial sushi usually flash freezes fish and thaws it rapidly after. The more time the fish spends around 0 degrees celcius the more time ice crystals have to form – these rip the cells apart. Tip for anyone who wants to improve this at home is to put it in a zip-lock and thaw it in running water.

    probably wont affect the tast to much but just makes it look a little odd compared to what we’re used to getting.

23. You know it’s March now right?

24. This has to be trolling. Please tell me this is trolling

25. to quote inigo montoya, i dont think that word means what you think it means

26. If I saw this on my local sushi conveyor belt, I would never come back again lmao
