Supermarket sushi has advantages: it can be taken home to eat later or be consumed on the go, and it’s usually more affordable than restaurant sushi. However, you should be careful when choosing which one to buy.

Here are some tips for selecting quality sushi at your local supermarket.

Check the Date It Was Made

One of the most important qualifications when choosing good sushi is that it must be fresh. Check to see if there is a “made on” date on your package of sushi to ensure that it isn’t more than a day old, which could ruin its quality.

Read the Ingredient List Carefully

Supermarket sushi often has quality ingredients, but it can be easy for producers to sneak in low quality products like “imitation crab” too. Read the ingredient list carefully to be sure that the ingredients are what you think they are.

See Where it Comes From

If you live in LA, you probably don’t want to eat sushi that was made in New York. Local production ensures freshness and quality, so try to find sushi that was produced nearby.
