How Do You Buy Fish For Sushi?
Purchasing the freshest fish possible should be your goal when planning to make sushi. Step 1 Shop at markets that specialize in fish and have a good reputation for keeping fish fresh. Step 2 While shopping, inspect the market for cleanliness. If you notice a strong, pungent, fishy odor, avoid purchasing fish there. Step 3 Ask what days the market receives deliveries and try to purchase on those days. Step 4 Ask what days the market is closed. Avoid purchasing fish the day before the market closes. Step 5 Ask where the market obtained a particular fish and when it was received. Step 6 Look for a fish that is firm and has clear eyes. Step 7 Ask for cuts with the fewest number of blood vessels.
