"Sushi grade" do it yourselfer.

Go to the seafood deli at a reputable grocery store and buy a large piece of farm raised salmon. (Not Wild caught). Get it home and put it in the freezer for at least 15 hours. Thaw in the fridge, mix up wasabe and soy sauce, slice pieces with a razor sharp knife and promptly enjoy salmon sashimi for 12 dollars.. You will be a lean mean fighting machine.

The "sushi grade" is nonsense. 

Very good for you too.

Notes:

Check the salmon coloration. Should be full red front to back.

Press on it with thumb. There should be "rebound" and no print.

Ask your deli guy to wrap it in paper with a little ice for the drive home just to be extra cautious.

FDA inspects fish at good grocery stores very thoroughly. The 15 hours in the freezer kills any parasite that might be lurking. Enjoy.

Really is. Wouldn't advise it for lil kids or the elderly because of obvious risk but it's quite safe. Did a ton of research on the subject. The yellow tails and other exotics I'll get too. Those are deep water fish so we'll see.

Cut from the top down (leave the skin) with a very sharp knife. Takes about 5 minutes, tops. About as difficult as slicing butter.

  Good tip..... I will definately try this. 

Been eating sashimi flash frozen AHI raw forever.  I'll try the salmon cuz raw salmon is

Fried at a sushi restaurant is very boring...........  All I order is a pile of raw salmon.  I've tried the other stuff and like it all but the salmon is what I like the most.

But what's weird is I really dislike cooked salmon.  It gets sweet when you cook it.

Exactly what I do, looks prettier but the flavor is the same no matter how you cut it.. Bought some Ahi Tuni today as well. Start making sashimi with that too.

fact jason but most sushi flavor sahhimi is deep water.

Hella work on some. Yellow tail sits at 120+feet. Tuna for sure.

Mackeral easy

What else?

White Flesh? Is that a particular type of salmon or just wild caught?

You win

Good shit JWK.......... I caught a tuna once and grilled it within ten minutes and was good.

Never done raw tho.

JWK in the food forum 

Just hacked some steaks and grilled it.
