Quick & Easy Sashimi
Sashimi at home shouldn’t feel intimidating. With Seatopia’s sushi-grade fish and our Sashimi Starter Kit of chef-curated finishes, you’ll go from thawed fillet to a beautiful plate in 7 minutes—no chef training required.
Note: The Starter Kit is a finishing trio you add to your fish (sold separately).
Directions
Step 1: Defrost (Seatopia 24hr Method) The 24-hour fridge thaw is your only “wait.” After that, it’s quick and easy—slice, plate, and finish with the Starter Kit for a sushi-bar experience at home.
-
1.Remove the fillet from its vacuum pack while still frozen.
-
2.Wrap in a non-toxic, unbleached paper towel.
-
3.Place on a plate or rack in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
-
4.Swap the towel a few times during thawing to keep the fish dry and the texture pristine. (Why this works: The towel wicks moisture so the flesh stays firm, clean, and perfect for slicing.)
Step 2: Prep
-
5.Pat the thawed fillet dry.
-
6.Trim away any darker bloodline or connective tissue for a clean look.
-
7.Save trims for tartare, poke, or a spicy hand roll.
Step 3: Slice
-
8.Use your sharpest knife (a sashimi knife is ideal, but any sharp chef’s knife works).
-
9.Slice across the grain with a smooth pull—no sawing. Aim for even ~¼-inch slices.
Step 4: Plate
-
10.Arrange slices with a slight overlap
Step 5: Finish with Sashimi Starter Kit + Caviar
-
11.Using chopsticks, add a tiny dab of Aged Yuzu Kosho for citrusy heat.
-
12.Mist Organic Yugeta Shoyu for light, umami-rich depth.
-
13.(Optional) Add Salmon Roe Caviar over sashimi.
-
14.Add Artisan Pickled Ginger on the side to refresh the palate
-
15.Less is more. These condiments are designed to let the fish shine.
Recipe Note
The only real wait in this process is the 24-hour fridge thaw — once your fillet is ready, sashimi really is quick and easy. After a simple slice across the grain, you’ll have tender, buttery cuts ready to plate. The beauty of this dish is in its simplicity: clean, vibrant fish paired with chef-curated condiments from the Sashimi Starter Kit. A delicate mist of soy, a bright spark of yuzu kosho, and the refreshing bite of pickled ginger are all you need to let the fish shine. Less is more, and every element on the plate is there to elevate the natural flavor and texture of your sashimi.
