]]> Love poké bowls? So do we! The Hawaiian dish has spread its wings and is now made in practically every country. One of the key features of poké is the cubes of raw fish. As it is uncooked, it is crucial to get fish that is as fresh as possible. Here is how to check if your swimmer is sashimi-grade. 

Brightness

When fish is fresh, it’s vibrant. Tuna is a deep red, while salmon holds true to “salmon pink”. Look for pieces that have a bright color and no discoloration. Avoid those with brown or gray marks.

Texture

Sashimi-grade fish is the highest quality you can get. It should be smooth and slightly firm when touched, but without a fibrous or mushy consistency. It should feel slightly firm to the touch. You want a melt-in-your-mouth sensation when you bite into it.  

Smell

You know that strong, fishy smell that we associate with seafood? Yeah, that’s a bad thing. Truly fresh fish doesn’t smell fishy; it smells like the ocean.

Freezing

Some species of fish need to be frozen at low temperatures to kill off any potential parasites that may be lurking about. Overall, though, you want to use fish that has not been properly frozen when making something like poké or sushi that requires eating it raw.

]]> Sushi can be food that is confusing and difficult to understand for those that don’t have much familiarity with it.

Here, we present a guide to the main varieties of sushi to help you better understand sushi and to enjoy it even more.

Maki

The first variety of sushi that we’ll mention in our guide is the most common sushi variety, especially at foreign restaurants. This type of sushi is what is often referred to as a “roll,” with an outer layer of seaweed enclosing sushi rice, fish, and vegetables.

Nigiri

Nigiri is one of the most elegant forms of sushi. It consists of a chunk of sushi rice with a topping served on it, which is usually a high-grade fish. Simple, yet delicious, it is a versatile variety that allows for lots of creativity.

Sashimi

Sashimi is the simplest form of sushi. It literally consists only of fish or shellfish served by itself and with no rice or vegetables. It is the form of sushi that you’ll want to go to with high-quality seafood since it lets the flavor shine.

Temaki

Temaki is the least-known variety on the list, but one of the most exciting. It it a “cone” of sushi that has been rolled by hand. This variety is wrapped in seafood which creates a sort of burrito with rice, fish, and vegetables on the inside. Yum!
