Sushi Grade Salmon Belly Strip
- One strip of salmon belly, ready to slice
- Nitrogen frozen and stored at -60°C, so it arrives sashimi grade
- For a sushi main, allow 120–160g a head
- Slice it for nigiri, or thinner still for sashimi
Salmon belly is the cut sushi chefs would rather keep for themselves: the thin strip from underneath, streaked white with fat, which is where the flavour lives. (As with steak, fat means flavour.)
It is thinner than a back strip, so it suits nigiri better than thick slabs of sashimi. We nitrogen-freeze it and keep it at -60°C, a long way colder than a home freezer, because that is what keeps the colour and texture right for eating raw. Defrost it in the fridge, slice it with the sharpest knife you own, and it needs nothing more than a little soy.
New to sushi? This is the gentlest way in. If you want something leaner alongside it, our bluefin akami is the classic partner.
