Sashimi

Just had a yummy sashimi lunch, but the calories add up so quickly!!! Is it accurate to say that each piece is about 50 calories?

I actually just had sashimi today and calculated my calories!

Salmon - 50gram (appx 4 pieces) = 88kcal
Yellowtail - 58gram (appx 5 pieces) = 84kcal
Mackerel - 50gram ( appx 5 pieces) = 94kcal
Tamago (egg) - 50gram (4 bite chunks = 90kcal

That's all I got but I hope it gives you an idea...

What is sashimi? Is it the same thing as sushi?

Sorry...sashimi doesn't have rice, that would be Nigiri. Sashimi is just slices of seafood, it could be any seafood: Prawns, squid, octopus, all sorts of fish!

It is the healthiest selection of Japanese food because you're not overloading on the white rice. Nigiri is always fish on rice and after about 4 - 5 pieces, you could be eating an equivalent of 1 cup of rice! I'm not exaggerating...my family owns a Japanese restaurant...

You also have to careful with soy sauce. The traditional way of eating sashimi is a very light dip on the soy, sometimes it's almost just a drop. You never dip the entire piece in because that would overpower the fish too much.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, that actually is helpful. I just wasn't sure cause when i looked it up on this site, some said about 50 calories for each piece and that seemed a little high.
And yes, sashimi = NO RICE
