Salmon Sushi is NOT originally Japanese!

When we hear the word “sushi” we immediately related to Japan as pretty much their most famous food. Just like “taco” for Mexican food or “chop suey” for Chinese food. Sadly, we’ve all been living a lie!

In the 1970s, Japan did not import a single piece of fish and it did not use salmon for sushi. That all started to change in the 1980s after a Norwegian seafood delegation visited the Asian country and Project Japan was formed. Today, Norwegian salmon is the sushi fish of choice among young Japanese.

The project ended up in having a profound effect on the culinary habits of Japanese who were unaccustomed to eating salmon raw. The preferred fish for sushi and sashimi were tuna and sea bream.
