Cool. Any hamachi?


Didn't look for it (that's yellow-tail right?) I will look next time.


Yes, yellowtail.

Yep... costco sells a box with like... 6 rolls of the stuff for $40. I
haven't found better. I've seen the individual rolls for 10, so seems like
a good deal.


Sounds like a good deal.

It works best if you order with others, lke a group of people so the
shipping costs are shared. I can get a good amount of items locally,
but I would use them for special items.

you're on the east coast right? hehe


Yes I am. But I haven't found an easy way to get items like kohada,
iwashi, aji, and such. Asian markets seem to only maguro, sake, hamachi,
hirame, ikura, masago, and uni.

The parasitic issue with salmon is only really for Pacific salmon, due
to the large number of mammalian contact they have in open waters.
If the salmon is Atlantic (farm raised), it's not a problem and you
don't need to cure. I never cure mine.

Cool... I probably won't either, although I've had some salmon that was
lightly salted... it's nice. Not like the smoked stuff... just a hint. But
good to know that it's not probably necessary for farm raised stuff.

Yeah, I've had some that were cured with salt then sweeted a bit with
sugar when I was in CA. I prefer it raw, straight up.
