How do you select the right seafood for a Sushi Burrito?
It is important to note what to look out for when selecting seafood for your sushi burrito. if you are going to have it raw, you will want to look for sushi grade fish, but the truth is that the term sushi grade is not regulated.
So what you are really looking for is any raw fish that is very fresh and very high quality. Otherwise your seafood will taste “fishy” and that’s not ideal.
If you aren’t sure how to find this check out a local farmers market, seafood market or just talk to the people at the seafood counter in your local supermarket.
I talked to the workers at the seafood counter at my Whole Foods and he pointed me in the direction of some salmon that wasn’t technically sushi grade, BUT was never frozen and had just come in that day. It tasted incredible raw!!
If you are looking to go the budget friendly route, buy frozen shrimp at the store. Then let the shrimp defrost, steam them and chop them up. Its much more affordable and tastes great in the spicy mayo mix.
