I am obsessed with Salmon Sashimi

[Alvito]

Where is the cheapest AYCE to get Salmon Sashimi!? I dont mind going at lunch time.

North York/Markham Preferred.

[somemale]

You're not the only one!

[elusion]

2nd that...i always get salmon sashimi..love it

[ArcLyte]

Careful with eating salmon sashimi too often due to the high levels of mercury and other pollutants present in the flesh. Just research about aqua-culture/fish farms where virtually all our salmon in japanese restaurants are coming from for more food for thought.

For your information, the correct usage is "Japanese".

Mercury anybody? Yum

I am obsessed with Salmon Sashimi
Me too. I almost always eat Salmon the Sashimi way, I actually don't like fish, believe it or not. But mind you, the cheapest ones may not be worth even the lower prices. A Taste of Japan (in Markham) is decent, AND not expensive.

[JAGpilot]

I ate a small piece of it. I found it tasted just plain fishy and has the texture of.. raw fish (easy to chew but thick)

[geestring]

i cant eat sushi anymore after i got food poisoning from a markham restaurant.

wow of all the areas never thought the grammar police would have a problem with that since there's tons of shortened ethnic group name usage for restaurants eg. viet restaurants etc as well as others using the same term. Anyways, if its on the grounds of it being used in the past as a racial slur I might as well change it too despite its obvious non-malicious intent!

use jp or jpn instead. As an added bonus, you can type either with one hand.

to actually answer your question... i've never heard of AYCE japanese serving sashimi for lunch. and I think most places are the standard $18.99/$19.99 nowadays for dinner. Since pricing isn't a very big jump (except for the new Wasabi on Hwy 7 & West Beaver Creak), I suggest you do a search to compare past reviews done by AYCE places. Trueno has super reviews. Since you're paying about the same regardless, you should look for the best outta that category. Sides, I don't think it's best to look for the cheapest when it comes to raw fish don't you think? ;)

Wasabi near pacific Mall has always served salmon and white tuna sashmi at lunch.

They serve white tuna now at lunch? I thought it was Tai which is Red Snapper.

[rfdrfd]

Mercury anybody? Yum

And just be aware of possible parasite eggs and bacteria in all raw fish. My friend got it and was sick for 1/2 yr, did tests, including the invasive colonscopy, etc.... painful, diaherea everytime he ate food, etc.

Just google raw fish bacteria or parasite. You'll see....

Stop spouting BS. There are tons of papers there that show that the levels are well under FDA and CFIA levels. Also the fish doesn't just come straight off the farms to your plates without testing. It is a tightly regulated industry and the benefits of eating salmon far outweigh whatever risks associated with it.

And before you start quoting from the Hites study that purpotes that farmed salmon has more PCBs than wild salmon, do take a moment to read the paper. The media just loves big story lines, especially when David Suzuki finds a new kid on the block that he can bully.

ah. Thanks for the heads up. I've never been to the Wasabi at Pacific Mall.

I will give that a try sometime, thanks!

[M@rk]

I'm sorry, but I gotta say I like Tuna better than Salmon! :razz:

It has the kind of texture that melts in your mouth, unlike salmon, which is chewy and seems to have a bit of sliminess to it. I'd take both though!

you do know that it's salmon (which is a fish) and is raw right? lol

Hey its not like I said don't eat it at all. Relax, I just said to be careful thats all, always better to err on the side of caution so to speak. Besides who said a salmon from a farm that gets fed pellets made from the cheapest fish meal mix they can find, then pumped with antibiotics and antiparasitic meds (because of the gross amount of crap they produce in their environment causes health issues) isn't healthy to eat 24/7 :cheesygri . Oh and farmed salmon can grow full sized in approximately 1/4-1/2 the time a normal salmon can but don't quote me directly on that since I just glanced an article on it last year in western's science library periodicals.

I'm not saying don't support the industry, just making sure you know what you're putting in your mouth and where its coming from. I still eat salmon sashimi just not in large amounts or very often. Just research it yourself and make your own decisions.

[teknoluv]

It's really funny how some people are so afraid of sashimi, which I *could* understand: I WAS like that. And once in a while, I see people trying out a very small piece of sashimi, so afraid that they can't really taste it at all. And just so you all know: sashimi is NOT JUST raw fish. They are "processed", and require a TRAINED "technician" (a.k.a. sushi chef) to do the job. So don't try it at home (I KNOW some people do).

Well, it hits home a little since my research is in the field and i try my best to educate people. The risks are no greater than chicken or beef. In fact PCBs are lower than pork, beef or chicken. Antibiotic use is again lower than land based meat, or none in the large amount of Organic salmon from Chile. And feed companies produce very high quality feed compared to 10-15 years ago since the competition is so fierce (1-2 major players with at least 3-4 feed makers).

Anyhow, seems you have taken some time to look at some facts. Just filling you in :)

That was one strange sentence you typed. :lol:

Please note the PAST TENSE in BLOCK CAPITALS. Weird, eh? Like "explaining" a joke. LOL!

wow offtopic....

[Ogata]

I still prefer Samon Sahimi over Tuna but if there was Tuna Sashimi, I'd go for it. Tuna gives you that cough drop aftertaste in my opinion despite it being one of the healthiest morsels to eat but I don't mind.

[trueno92]

to get back on topic....


sake in pac mall (outside ground-level, directly facing kennedy/steeles) has salmon sashimi and spider rolls for lunch.

went there alot during spring 06 and it was above average every time.

[easyddrstyle]

Hockey Sushi in Thornhill - 12.99 for lunch until 3:45pm.

You get that after taste because you are eating the usual AYCE albacore or white tuna sashimi.

If you have had Akami or chuutoro or otoro, you will know the difference.
