Title: Raw Fish Salad (Japanese Sashimi)
Categories: Japanese, Seafood
Yield: 9 servings
1 lb Bass (raw) or:
- Tuna (raw) or: other
- fish of your choice, fresh
- water or salt, bones and
- skin removed and slivered
1/2 c Gingerroot, fresh, chopped
-or: 1/4 c powdered ginger
1/2 c Horseradish, grated
1/2 c Mustard sauce or: 1/4 c
- mustard powder
Water, for mixing sauce
- ingredients
Bowl of very fresh salad
- greens, broken or cut into
- small pieces
In this popular dish, the Japanese enjoy eating their
fish completely raw, cut in slivers about 1/4 inch
thick, and dipped into a mixture of fresh chopped
gingerroot, grated horseradish and mustard. We add
dishes of very fresh greens, turning the Sashimi into
a salad.
If your fish is very, very fresh, your dishes colorful
and attractively arranged, and if you accompany your
first bite of raw fish with a generous mouthful of
crisp greens, you will probably be able to overcome
your prejudices and discover what the Japanese have
known for centuries: fish doesn't have to be cooked to
taste good.
INSTRUCTIONS: Set out the slivered fish, 3 dishes of
seasonings and salad greens and let everyone mix his
own sauce, tasting and testing as he does, and help
himself to greens.
