I don't like watermelon

Funny you say that, last week I had watermelon that was compressed and fermented just right to taste like raw tuna. Incredible!
SLCtechie
Those are obviously strawberries
MrStickyCheeks
Just put salt on your watermelon.

Drizzle it in mustard. Fuck I still can't believe that tasted so good what is wrong with me.
ThatShiftyMonkey
Watermelon really does have weird flavor combination possibilities

Why does it taste so much better like that?

Sweet and salty is a great combo.

The amount of comments saying it’s undercooked or unsafe to eat… holy fucking shit have you ppl never heard of sushi or sushi-grade fish?
generaltwat
Torching sushi is a game-changer, no question.
jeffbInternetBeast
Costco sells good tuna. we do variations of this, usually sushi, and we usually use a torch. good stuff.
BobHubert
Ive been buying some from our local grocer fairly recently. It’s easy to cook and a nice change of pace from what I usually make
ForceAwakenWasLame
Serious question: isn’t sushi raw and isn’t raw food typically unhealthy?
TheMayorOfTittyCity
Is raw food unhealthy?
shimmerkitten
Depends what it is.
right, which is why it was a weird question.
angrytaco
Not all sushi is served raw, like some fish literally can't be. It's very high quality fish that is served raw
Eh? I’m not an expert but the main point of cooking it typically to kill bacteria on things like chicken, but parasites on things like red
Meat and fish. Idk the full story on it all but fish is typically ok if it’s fresh. I could also be very wrong in my explanation.
tarnok
Sushi means "vinegar rice". Clyou add whatever you want to it to be "sushi". Many raw foods are okay to eat, carrots, apples, salads, etc 1/
Regarding fish, it's generally okay to eat raw if it's fresh or frozen properly to kill parasites. In general bacteria that grow in fish 2/
Cannot usually survive us because we're in general 15-20 degrees hotter than fish so we "cook" it from our own internal heat
TerranMikkus
there is a lot to unpack here, but generally cooked food is easier for the body to turn into energy, se we get more out of it.1/?
pre refrigeration, cooking was also a good way to "sanitise" food, especially meat where harmful bacteria will grow. 2/?
most fish in sushi will be salt cured or put through its own treatment (depends on the fish) that makes it perfectly fine to eat. 3/4
also fun fact, the term sushi actually refers to a specific way of preparing rice rather then to the eating of raw fish.
Volpe42
What's the point of cooking the outside 1/4" and leaving the rest uncooked? Does it change the flavor of the rest of it?
FartingDragon
Ya'll americans really eat all this shit raw then just stop pretending and skip frying alltogether smdfh
lucasmacdonald81101
You essentially get the best of both worlds, you get the delicious flavor of the tuna itself with addition of the smokiness of searing it
ficklemission
I agree completely
JakeSpear
Dude, it is disgusting!
BrendonB
It is the same as eating a steak rare
JanglesPrime
I really, really don't.
SolidGoldDancer
Also, like steak, once cut, bacteria only really lives on the surface, so searing also ensures its safety to eat as well as flavour benefits
lAmGnomeAnn
I think it's ahi tuna in which case cooking it through destroys the cut. You just wanna sear it.
gluttonygreedpridewrathslothlustenvy
It's called tataki. It's a style of searing lightly for flavour.
Correct!!
KiwiStag
So.. lightly fried fish fillets?
Psiberdragon
idrinkcheapbeer
tataki from my favorite sushi place:
SherMattLockSmith
Warms it up to serving temperature so you aren't just eating a slab of cold fish. Although it doesn't "cook" it, the warmth does change (1)
(2) The texture and make the fat start to render just slightly, making it flakier.
thecheffromratatouille
Haha this comment has had so many replies. People absolutely HONKING for seared tuna
Croatoan45
I know raw salmon on sushi has this very fresh and light flavor and cooked has a slight fishy taste and something awesome I cant place.
jo0owe
Maillar reaction
Technique is called tataki!
Evergrey
Sure does! :D I would slice them thinner, myself. So delicious. If you stick the fish in the freezer for a week it kills off the parasites.
potatorat45
Only if your freezer gets to -4F, and I think there are a few that can survive that still.
From what I read, it's fine if you freeze it for a week. Much faster for industrial freezers that can get colder.
thisistheusernamethatneverendss
Have you ever eaten food before?
gheorghiumihai77
Yes, cooked meat, not raw.
Do you see how much tuna is left raw?
The only thing better than raw tuna is seared raw tuna
sambaah05
It changes the flavor when you eat the piece, yes. Sashimi tuna and salmon are often seared. Makes them more delicious, at least for me.
fortlotus
Tuna is wonderful like this.
Erutanmi
Breaks down some fat and makes it yummy and so soft.
confanity
"Often" is saying a bit too much, but yes, sometimes they do blast sashimi - mostly just salmon - with a blowtorch.
bogart2hughes
I had no idea! I’ve always assumed that they were completely raw. Do you know of any other meats that are seared for sushi?
AmericanOmar
In Japan, some places Javed seared sashimi chicken. It’s a specially raised chicken. I don’t know much more, just saw a small clip about it
verukt89
No no they're raw when you get sushi, there is another way to serve them other than sashimi or Nigiri where they are quickly seared.
YesSorryIAmBack
Literally nothing nowhere saying stuff served on nigiri sushi has to be raw! I've had seared foie grass on it. Sushi only refers to the rice
davidwie
I once had a tiny cheeseburger nigiri in japan… it tasted wrong
Yeah I guess I didn't word that right. I was speaking to what they had in mind.
Dasnekones
You generally want to have a nice crust with as raw center as possible. With fish this can be actually undercooked while still safe.
It's tasty! Soon delicious. It's like searing a steak
TLu82
Its fantastic!
hardytardigrade
It's absolutely delicious
BookNNotes
It makes it unbelievably delicious. Some of tbe best dishes ive had were seared tuna. Pair it with a light wasabi cream sauce and... Heaven

You don't want to eat well done tuna. This is perfect.
Between this and well done it is a whole universe to go, my friend.

Late 1980s. Chain restaurant. Tuna was becoming a thing. I'd never had it. Comes to me and it's all GRAY. Had about 3 bites & noped.
Gross.
wizoko

DocWino
Asking questions is how you learn. You either asked questions or made mistakes to be good at anything. A book only goes so far.
iamthecomet
They were just asking a question. Maybe try and respect people who are trying to learn something?
Didn’t mean it as disrespect, a mild ribbing at most
Hey, they were just asking a question too /s
Would rather use it for sushi then cook it
Someone has never had the succulent seared tuna in their mouth! Yes it changes it. And I love tuna as sashimi too. Just different
SarcasticComment
Who says you can't use cooked fish in sushi? Sushi is the rice. I made 18 hour cold smoked salmon sushi.
This isn't really cooked though,
It's almost like it was seared with purpose which also exists in sushi.
Also. Cold smoked salmon for 18 hours isn't really cooked.
You can just as easily fry salmon skins and use that for sushi
SindarElla

I've given up fitting with my autocorrupt
Maybe they are onto something. Eat sashimi, regurgitate, sear and enjoy again!!!
ga93kog
Idk why people are downvoting this, it's a legit opinion. I happen to like both but whatever
It really isn't. Sushi is the rice, not raw fish. There are multiple forms of sushi that uses cooked protein.
So this opinion that sushi needs to be raw fish has no factual basis in the concept of what makes sushi be sushi.
It's not a legit opinion if you have never tried 1 of the 2 things you're trying to compare.
How do you know they haven't?
Read their first comment.
ballinthegroin
Why would you put jam on top of your toast, does it change the flavor of the the rest of it?

This isn't the same thing at all.

Wouldn't do much good to draw a comparison using the same subjects
This is the proverbial apples and oranges, though.
