Re: Sashimi at home
OT - My co-worker is taking me and badbeetz fishing for stripers this weekend. the co-worker says the plan is to catch stripers and then filet and eat raw with wasabi. I'm being serious. Is this a good plan?

Never heard of Mitsuwa, would Uwajimaya do the trick for sushi-grade fish? uwajimaya.com [/ QUOTE ] I just did a quick google search, and based on that, I would have no problems giving this place a try.

Re: Sashimi at home
Han Ahn Reum (or H-Mart) usually sells sushi grade salmon and tuna that's very good. not much other than that though.
i did find a few seafood markets that turned out to be very good by just looking though the yellow pages. this was in Upstate NY, San Jose, Boston, DC, and Central VA areas. this pretty much means that you can find good fish almost anywhere, though it may cost upto $10-20/lb depending on the quality/rarity of the fish.

Is this a good plan? [/ QUOTE ] As usual, I defer to m2d in these matters, but here is my experience: - I have eaten sashimi surfperch from the parasite-ridden waters of Big Sur with no ill effects, and the firmer fleshed ones (ie, Barred Surfperch) were quite tasty. - I have eaten sashimi striped bass from SAN LUIS FREAKIN' RESERVOIR (a long time ago) and so far, have suffered no ill effects. - I've eaten ocean-caught striped bass sashimi, and it's delicious. - My understanding is, you're supposed to cut the dark red band off the filets before eating, as that's where the nasty stuff accumulates in the meat. I think, when you get down to it, as long as you don't eat a whole bunch of it every day for a week, it shouldn't be a big deal, and striped bass makes wonderful sashimi, so I say go for it!

[/ QUOTE ] OK, I am not a fisheries biologist or anything, but if you catch some legal-sized fish, I'd definitely cut out the red meat, and I would only eat sashimi from something close to barely-legal (heh) sized. They can't spawn there, so that fish is probably a fairly recent arrival from the Delta, and hasn't had a chance to soak up as much heavy metal and other crap in the lake. I've heard that there's a Chinese restaurant on the road leading to Santa Nella from 152 where, if you catch a striper and take it in, they'll prepare it for you for a small fee...never tried it, though. Good luck!
