When you think of raw seafood, your mind may go to sushi. However, there’s more than one type of sushi, as well as other delightful ways to enjoy fresh fish. Here are a few ways you can enjoy this protein.

4 Ways to Enjoy Raw Seafood

1. Sashimi

Sashimi is a simple serving of raw fish by itself. Chefs find the freshest fish to use for this dish because their flavor won’t be masked by rice or sauce. Some of the most popular types of sashimi include salmon, tuna, and sea urchin.

2. Donburi

This dish is a bowl of sushi rice that’s topped with vegetables and raw fish. Typically, the fish is cut into chunks and flavored with salty sauces. Many people enjoy spicy ahi or salmon donburi.

3. Maki

This sushi roll includes fish, vegetables, and rice. These ingredients are neatly laid on a bed of vinegared rice and rolled in seaweed. Although California rolls are one of the most popular types of maki, this sushi dish can be made with a variety of ingredient combinations.

4. Nigiri

Nigiri consists of a small amount of sushi rice topped with a slice of raw fish, like ahi, salmon, and hamachi. There’s often wasabi between the rice and protein, and many people dip the sushi fish-side down in soy sauce before taking a bite. Nigiri can also be wrapped by a thin band of nori, which is dried and salted seaweed.
