Smoked salmon - raw salmon for sushi substitute?!


Question: Smoked salmon - raw salmon for sushi substitute!?
Well, I bought smoked salmon because I was craving sushi!.
I bought short grain rice, I know how to make everything and such, but, can I use the smoked salmon as a substitute for raw salmon!?
On the package it says it's smoked and ready to enjoy!.
Supposedly it's Alaskan wild salmon!.
Anyways, it's precut and such, but I couldn't find any 'sushi grade' salmon or tuna!.

Please reply!.
Thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
You can use smoked salmon in sushi any time you want!. I like putting them with cucumber and cream cheese that's been mixed with crushed capers and garlic (known around here as a Philly roll)!. That's with cold smoked salmon!. Hot smoked salmon is also nice in sushi!. I am not a big fan of hot smoked salmon in sushi but I like it when its' been jerkied or turned into 'candy'!.
Definitely cold smoked is interchangeable and very tasty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, the smoking process cures the fish making it safe to eat!. The fish is usually soaked in a brine solution prior to smoking!. This brine usually contains a lot of salt which cures the fish, the smoking besides adding great flavor slightly cooks the fish!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes!.!.!. you can!.!.!. however, it will taste different, but still delicious!. Smoked salmon is smoked while raw salmon doesn't have the smoked, salty flavor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sure you can!. It will be thinner in texture and have a smokier taste than regular salmon sushi, though!. I'm sure it will be delicious if you like smoked salmon!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Smoked salmon is really good; raw unsmoked (or uncooked) salmon contains a tremendous amount of parasitic worms (google it and you'll see)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sure :)

I love smoked salmon sushi!.!. with cream cheese!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
