Sushi For Beginners How to Enjoy
A few suggestions to follow or think about when you decide to try sushi for the first time
Try cooked items first:
Until you are comfortable with raw seafood, you may want to try the cooked items available before the raw ones. Not all sushi is raw, and you can make an entire meal from cooked food.
Go vegetarian:
You might want to try rolls without any fish or meat in them. Kappa Maki (cucumber rolls) are a good place to start. By trying items like these you may become accustomed to the style of food and then decide if you would like something a bit more adventurous.
Start with what you know
It’s not that different from eating any fish, it’s just not cooked. If you like a nice piece of grilled salmon, or particularly smoked or cured, then a piece of salmon sushi shouldn’t be that much different. The two main differences are taste and texture, and taste-wise raw salmon is not that different. Texture wise, it is just a little softer, which will not stand out that much against the rice.
Each to their own
Everyone has different tastes and there is definitely no single way to approach sushi if you are new to it. Always stay at your comfort level and don’t be afraid to not eat something that doesn’t appeal to you. Try what you think you will like and what looks interesting.
