Making sushi at home

[Anonymous]

My Whole Foods sells packs of sushi grade tuna and other fish in an end-unit fridge. It's already sliced and vacuum sealed.

We've had tons of fun making sushi rolls at home. The rice is easy - you can buy sushi rice anywhere and you just add the vinegar and sugar and cool it on a cookie sheet.

I was surprised how filling it was. We bought WAY too much of everything.

Thank you everyone! These are great tips. For one of the earlier posters, I do go to H Mart but that’s more browsing to look at the lovely packages of food and dream about traveling. I don’t go looking for specific items abandoned would probably need help in the store.

There is no such thing as “sushi grade”.

Although stores use the label “sushi grade fish,” there are no official standards for using this label. The only regulation is that parasitic fish, such as salmon, should be frozen to kill any parasites before being consumed raw. The best practice for this is flash freezing on the boat immediately after the fish is caught, which preserves freshness and texture.
