Sushi in Hong Kong

Sushi: This popular dish is a roll of vinegary rice with pieces of fish wrapped, mostly in seaweed. Most commonly used fishes for sushi are tuna, mackerel, salmon, and the yellowtail. Usually, the sushi is dipped in soya sauce and is eaten along with sweet pickled ginger (Gari). The whole dish is flavored commonly with wasabi, which gives a very piquant taste to it. Overall, this dish is quite a treat to eyes and mouth, with all the vibrant colors and the sourness oozing from the rice.

Sashimi: This dish is a Japanese delicacy and is often served as the first meal in typical Japanese dining. This dish is nothing but simple raw fish mostly, at times meat, served with wasabi and soy sauce for dipping. To highlight the fresh flavor and the delicate texture, the fish used is cut into thin slices following the lines of the traditional Japanese cuts. The name literally means, “Pierced body.” As soon as the fish lands on the chef’s table, it’s brain is pierced with a spiked object and immediately placed in slurried rice. This whole process keeps the fish from getting spoiled for ten days. Commonly used ingredients for Sashimi are tuna, salmon, mackerel, squid, shrimp, octopus, and the like. Note: the dish is largely served raw, which means it can trigger food-borne infections or even food poisoning. Please be cautious.
