I Made This – Sashimi at home!

2010 August 2

Do you hear that?  It’s the theme to Disney’s Aladdin playing in my head…. A Whole New World!!!  Truly the dawning of a new era.  No longer will we need to suffer the sushi bar wait and high ticket price for a fresh fish buzz.  All thanks to my neighborhood fishmonger Fish King.  Fish King oh Fish King how do I love thee let me count the ways.  I’m so lucky to live  2 minutes away from this food palace.  I’ve been patronizing Fish King for years and had heard that you could order fresh sashimi grade fish cut to order but had never done so.   Earlier on this fateful day I had been to Marukai Market and picked up some sweet looking Uni and Shiso Leaf and thought hmmm what about a whole sashimi dinner at home?  Fish King to the rescue!  I ordered 1/3 lb. Hamachi 1/3 lb. Salmon and 1/3 lb. Ahi (Maguro) sliced and served it with some ponzu sauce.  We paired this with a lovely dry Spanish Rosé and it really worked well. Let me add here that I would consider us sushi snobs and I tell you the quality was right up there with the best of the best sushi joints we’ve been to.  I have since refined this by adding some of their delicious Poke, succulent Albacore and radish sprouts.  Heaven!
