Making sushi at home can be rewarding, but sourcing sushi-grade fish poses significant challenges. Chef Dr. Jae Choi advises home cooks to connect with local vendors and fish mongers for the freshest seafood. Since the term 'sushi-grade' lacks standardized guidelines, it's essential for consumers to learn how to recognize quality seafood themselves. By understanding the fish delivery and breakdown schedules from local vendors, and prioritizing freshness, home cooks can achieve restaurant-quality sushi while minimizing the risk of purchasing inferior fish.
"Unless you can work with distributors, it will be difficult for the general public to access sushi-grade fish. Get to know your local vendors."
"Coordinating with local distributors ensures that you're getting the same quality of fish that's served in restaurants, helping you avoid sub-par seafood."
"No matter where you shop, it's important that you know how to identify sushi-grade seafood since there are no enforcing guidelines for the label."
