Sashimi lovers - what is your record? (tuna, taste, salt)

I went to a buffet today and broke my record! I had 29 pieces of salmon!

What is your record?

I don't view food as competitive. Eating lunch shouldn't be about setting a record...do you also keep stats on how fast you eat?

It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality.

Buffet sashimi serves the scrap parts of the fish. Real filet minion or ribeye parts pieces cost $40-60/lb.

I'll answer your question.

Answer: I don't know. I never counted. But I could eat it until I'm bursting... and that seems to take a very long time (and lots of sashimi) because good sashimi is goooooood.

That salmon was very likely farmed, and 29 pieces probably had enough mercury to fill a thermometer. For your own sake, I hope you don't do that too often, and never if you are pregnant.

Hmmm.... a bit of research is in order here. I won't state the obvious - I'll let research reveal the truth.

This would be my guy's answer. For me I need a little rice and/or seaweed. I love salmon, though, and tuna. My favorites.

Perhaps you should "state the obvious," it's far preferable to being snarky. If you think farmed salmon isn't used in sashimi, you're wrong.

I can say 90% of buffet salmon is farm. You be lucky they just happened to have a wild salmon laying around and used it.

The taste is a big difference. Farm salmon tastes bland, less fatty, and the texture is thicker.

Wild salmon, depends on variety varies. Some of my favorites like the King or Coho, you can never get that in a buffet.

King has a very distinct ocean fishy flavor that tastes very flavorful with salt or soy sauce. For Coho or Sockeye they are very rich in Omega-3 it's like eating a rare piece of filet. Tender texture and full of flagrance.
