Sashimi refers to things like fish, raw fish, sashimi, etc., and refers to dishes in which fresh fish and shellfish are sliced raw and eaten directly with seasonings.

Origin of the saying:

Fishermen in Hokkaido, Japan, often take some fish skins and stab them with bamboo sticks when serving sashimi, because it is difficult to distinguish the types of the peeled fillets, so as to facilitate identification. This bamboo stick and fish skin stuck on the fish fillet was originally called "sashimi", but the name "sashimi" was still preserved although this method was no longer used.

sashimi is the most distinctive food in Japanese cuisine. According to records, it became fashionable for Japanese to eat sashimi in the 14th century. At that time, people used the word "Wan" to summarize sashimi and sashimi-like foods.

At that time, "preserved" refers to raw shredded fish and shredded pork, and it can also refer to shredded fish and shredded pork soaked in vinegar. At that time, sashimi was just a cooking technique of "preserved". It was not until the 15th century that soy sauce was introduced to Japan and was widely used that sashimi was gradually dipped in soy sauce.

Precautions for eating sashimi:

1. Eat less for the elderly, people with bad stomach and weak resistance. If you eat sashimi that is not fresh, it can range from vomiting and diarrhea to gastroenteritis, to high fever and weak resistance, which may also lead to sepsis. The elderly can't eat it often. If you want to eat it, you must choose a store with better environmental hygiene.

2. Infants and pregnant women should eat less deep-sea fish. In Europe and the United States, pregnant women's handbooks clearly state that pregnant women are not suitable to eat deep-sea fish, such as swordfish and tuna. Because of the accumulation of food chain, there are more heavy metals, which may affect the development of fetal brain. In addition, heavy metals are harmful to infants and young children.

3. It is best not to eat freshwater fish because of the high risk of parasites. Freshwater fish should try not to eat sashimi because there are many parasites in Danshui River, which leads to the crisis of brewing insects.
