Food review: Hamachi sashimi (yellowtail)
















(hamachi on left)

Restaurant: Sushi Delight (San Francisco)
Food description: Raw slices of yellowtail hamachi sashimi
Food rating: 8 out of 10
Times ordered: 10+

What can I say but YUM!! One of the best things on the menu at Sushi Delight and a staple of my diet. It always tastes so fresh, it's hard to tell if it was actually frozen (like much sashimi) or not. The flavor is rich and buttery, but not oily like salmon. It's less fatty than some other hamachi, but barely noticeable. The texture is semi-soft and melts in your mouth. The cut is consistently great and is just the right size. A must-try for any hamachi fans. Oh, and did I mention it's a great value ($7 for 6 pieces)?
