Sushi is essentially the reflection of the Japanese people’s fused ties with the earth and the sea. The prevalence of sushi-related products like those from JC Uni-tec, Inc attests to the dish’s popularity especially in its home country. Apart from its cultural significance, it mirrors the Japanese’s attention to detail, manifested in the choice of specific fishes to roll in rice and nori. The six most popular fishes used to make sushi are:
• Bluefin tuna is a constant favorite of the Japanese. There are three basic cuts used for sushi: Akami or the back of the fish; Chutoro, found in the belly and with a very rich taste, and; Otoro, the fattiest part of the belly.
• Big-eye tuna is smaller than the Bluefin, and has a milder flavor.
• Yellowfin tuna is also smaller than the Bluefin and is found in tropical waters. It has a mild flavor but firm texture.

• The Red snapper has a mild and delicate taste, but possesses great texture.
• Japanese yellowtail or Hamachi has a buttery texture, and a nice bold flavor with a tangy finish.
• Salmon has a rich and flavorful taste. However, it must be flash-frozen before being served.
