How to prepare sushi and sashimi

Sashimi and sushi are the best known ways to serve raw fish. The word “sashimi” used to mean any sliced up food, including vegetables and tofu. The food is cut into bite-size pieces, either with the grain or against it, always with the aim of getting the best taste. Sashimi is cuisine made with knives.

Fish is cooked and prepared in many ways in Japan, but the ultimate eating experience is surely raw sushi and sashimi. If you are going to eat raw seafood, you will want to make sure it is safe to eat, and tasty too. That means choosing the right seafood and preparing it the right way.

Hand-molded sushi consists of two parts—an easy-to-handle clump of rice seasoned with vinegar, and a topping of raw or cooked seafood.

Choosing the fish, and preparation method
Larger fishs like tuna are generally good to eat raw. Tuna blood is rich in iron and its amino acids break down slowly.
Keep fish at about 0°C because the protein fibers are shorter than in meat.

Seafood suitable for sushi can be prepared in three ways: raw, sprinkled with salt, cooked by simmering or grilling.

Beef prices will go lower, and this is why

Beef and pork consumption have been on a steady decline in the US for the last decade, while chicken consumption has increased. In the past decade beef has become more expensive, and thus the consumption decreased with about 15% from 2006 to 2015.

But now the USDA anticipates a price decline thanks to feed prices which are dropping, and the drought, has eased up slightly, and the ranchers’ cost of raising cows is falling.

With cheaper imput prices, ranchers can raise more cows and send more beef out to the market, thus increasing the amount of beef on the market, which should lower the cost of beef by about 10 percent, the USDA predicts.
