Grocery store that sells sashimi?

[hussein]

Hey does anyone know of any grocery stores here that sell sashimi?

Or even any restaurants that sell it in bulk for me to eat at home?

Thanks.

uhh what kind of sashimi.. cuz honestly u can just buy a whole salmon.. and just cut it >_>

Otherwise, T&T has some i believe by their bakery/sushi sections

[WWJAI]

i always wondered..for the ones at tnt..do you just open the package and eat them or do you have to do a cleansing process on those sashimi before you eat them?

[hussein]

It is safe to just buy raw salmon and cut it up? Is that what they do at restaurants?

Pretty sure they go through the whole cleansing process. I've been buying sashimi from T&T for quite a while now and i've never gotten sick.

For the OP hussein, no it's not safe to buy raw salmon from IE, Superstore and eat it. You'll have to deep freeze the salmon, then let it de-frost. I find salmon from Superstore bad quality. The label will say it's boneless, but you'll still get damn fish bones. Never had a problem with T&T

the way i read his post i assumed he meant the ones pre-packaged @ t&t

Salmon bought at the supermarket should be frozen for about a week if you want to eat it raw. This kills parasites.

You should start with as fresh a cut of salmon as possible.

What/where is T&T?

T&T is an asian supermarket just off 36th street and between 8th and 12th ave in the Northeast. It's basically in Franklin Mall.

Thats how ive had it as well

Isn't real sashimi or sushi grade salmon, flash frozen right after its caught?

[GQBalla]

at sushi places your actually suppose to have the fish go through a 3 step process of being frozen - its gets frozen once, than into a not as cold freezer than so on -

[clem24]

T&T also has a big deep freezer beside the "fresh" stuff with lots of frozen sashimi, like maguro and amaebi. You can also buy a big box of Hokkigai from the frozen seafood section.

Usually costco has really good quality fish. As people state, just freeze it for a bit and then eat it. And make sure you don't eat fresh water fish as sashimi (i.e. trout or anything else that comes from a lake or river). They're full of parasites.

City fish apparently is where all the sushi restaurants get their fish. Anyone been there?

[hussein]

Cool. I have been to T&T last year but thought they only sold the sushi rolls.
Anyway, I went there today and bought alot. So it is what I will be eating today/tomorrow.

Thanks!

T&T also has cheaper sushi on sale after a certain time. I think it's after 6pm or something (can someone confirm the time?). They try to get rid of their stock every day.

if they get it from seafood dealers like billingsgate etc. thats what ive been doing, buy a whole fish, have them fillet and descale it. and cut it up into quarters or 8ths and they vacumn seal it, so i can stick it into my freezer, for a week before i open up a pack to eat, the rest usualy sit in the freezer for quite abit, lol. been doing this for 5 years and running, and havn't gotten sick at all, noone in my family has gotten sick from it

Where can I get rolls without going to a restaurant for them?

[hussein]

Safeway has them, but I preferred the ones I bought from T&T today muuuuch more.

I am just kind of weary to do the salmon thing, even though I love it!

T&T, superstore has some also.

In general these rolls are not very good.
