Sashimi The salting and marinating of the mackerel will give a firmer, almost 'cooked' texture to the fish but you are really eating it raw, so it's important to get the freshest fish you can. Tell your fishmonger how you plan to prepare it. Find sushi seasoning, wasabi and yuzu in some health food shops, Japanese supermarkets or buy online tat japancentre.com.
