What is Salmon Sashimi?

Salmon sashimi is a traditional Japanese dish made from thin slices of raw, sushi-grade salmon served without rice. It's known for its silky texture, clean flavour and ability to showcase the natural quality of the fish.

To qualify as sashimi grade, salmon must be handled under strict temperature controls from the sea to stores. At Fine Food Specialist, we work closely with trusted suppliers to ensure every piece is suitable for raw consumption, free from parasites and full of flavour. Explore our collection, including the popular whole sashimi-grade salmon side (2kg), a perfect choice for slicing at home.

We offer a range of sashimi-grade salmon products to suit every occasion, from casual sushi nights to elegant dinner parties. For those who want variety, our sashimi platters provide beautifully arranged combinations that pair salmon with other premium cuts.

The Bluefin Tuna 'Akami' & Salmon Sashimi Platter combines the mild richness of salmon with the deep red intensity of akami tuna, offering a dynamic flavour contrast. Similarly, our Salmon & Hiramasa Sashimi Platter balances the buttery softness of salmon with the delicate freshness of hiramasa for a beautifully light dish.

Each product in our salmon sashimi range is selected and packaged with care to ensure optimal taste and presentation on arrival.

How to Enjoy Salmon Sashimi

Salmon sashimi is best served chilled and sliced thinly against the grain to maximise tenderness. Pair it with traditional Japanese condiments such as soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger for a classic experience.

For a more contemporary take, try serving it with avocado, ponzu dressing, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Our Japanese ingredients section includes everything you need to build a complete sashimi meal at home.

Want to try something new? Use sashimi-grade salmon to top sushi rice, build poke bowls, or even serve it in canapés for a refined appetiser.
