You can eat salmon in sushi rolls or just cut it into pieces and put on the bread.
With other fish, you typically have to fry them first, which is a complex affair. The result is also much less predictable. There are also bones and fish skin which doesn't contribute to overall experience positively.
I can eat salmon several times a week whereas cooking fish would be an once per month affair best case. Perhaps once a week if I didn't have to work for a living.
- profsummergig 2y agoIs the salmon pre-cooked? Or is it eaten raw?
- kortilla 2y agoRaw. It’s frozen at a low temp for a long enough time to make it safe to eat. Look up “sushi fda freezing regulations” for more info.
- Quothling 2y agoI know this will vary a lot based on where you live, but here in Denmark you can get sushi with a lot of our local smaller fish. Mackerel, herring and smelt are quite popular. I think a lot of it is because "sustainability" as a "brand" is just good market value here, but it's also just as good as salmon or tuna. Very few places actually use farmed salmon, though I'm not sure the Alaskan salmon are really that much better than Norwegian farmed salmon from a sustainability point of view.
- Al-Khwarizmi 2y agoThis must be cultural because for me it's much easier to buy e.g. some mackerels and fry them than to make sushi. In fact, in my family grilling fish is literally one of the things we do when it's near dinner time and we haven't anything prepared (go to supermarket, buy some fish, grill it, eat). While sushi is something I haven't even tried to make because it seems to take a lot of time and effort (I do love to order it when I eat out).
