Using Costco FROZEN Salmon for Sushi

Welcome to my channel! In this video, I'll show you how to transform frozen salmon from Costco into mouthwatering sashimi. With just a few simple steps, you can create restaurant-quality sashimi right in the comfort of your own home.

I'll guide you through the entire process, from selecting the perfect frozen salmon at Costco to expertly slicing and serving it as delectable sashimi. You'll be amazed at how easy and delicious it is!

The saline solution I use is 3% (30g salt and 1000g water), but it's very flexible. Go for the saltiness of the ocean and you can't go wrong. I use tablesalt as it's readily available, but purists will recommend kosher or sea salt.

Whether you're a sashimi enthusiast or a curious foodie looking to try something new, this video is for you. Join me as we unlock the secrets of turning frozen salmon into exquisite sashimi that will impress your family and friends.

thanks for making homemade sushi achievable!

GF showed me this and I thought it was too good to be true. We made some poke bowls with avacado, cucumber, green onions, radishes, drizzled with spicy mayo. Gonna be a staple part of the diet soon! Thank you!

🍣.🍣.JUST TRIED 🍣.🍣.
I bought the exact frozen pack as you, though I didn't see the date in the individual packet. I just let it stayed in the freezer for a bit, soaked it in salt, put it in the zip-loc bag in the fridge overnight. IT came out DELICIOUS!!! No smell, firmed, shiny, doesn't feel slimy.
I bought wasabi and soy sauce and INHALED the salmon sashimi. I'll update you if I croak or not.
Thank

Seriously thank you so much for this knowledge. We’ve been eating sashimi at such an affordable price now.

Honestly this could be a “game changer” for me since I’m not a fan of cooked fish but sushi, sashimi and so on is something I would eat often if it was cheaper and this seems like a great way to do it. There are no Costco’s in Norway but it’s not to hard to find fish here.

Gotta say this is a terrific video, dude. Very informative and helpful. Making something delicious and healthy like sushi more accessible is always a huge dub. Also nice references to other YouTubers.

I got to try this! It tasted just as good as the stuff I buy from the shop, although my sashimi slicing skills need a lot of work.

I notice it seems you use the wet brine for these pre frozen portions but a dry brine for the fresh. Is there a reason to prefer a certain method and is it dependent on whether you buy the fish frozen? I assume even most farmed salmon in the US was previously frozen (I could be wrong) so thawing the frozen portions and dry brining will get a similar result but would love to hear your thoughts!

[giansantiago]

how do I know if costco's freezers are set to -4 degrees like the FDA says? Usually most freezers are at around 0! Does that not really matter too much?

[dixieslat]

I love making sushi at home but it’s so expensive. Thank you for helping me make it more often!!❤

[timothycantwell]

Are you defrosting it before you brine it, or is it frozen when it goes in? It looks pretty rigid going in, but much more flexible coming out.
Super stoked to try this! 👍

[chiangogo]

straight from frozen is such a great trick, going to try this tomorrow.

[boucher]

@photogami can this be used for nigiri or just sashimi? Love your videos by the way. I’m going to try this for the first time!

[NathanNguyen]

What purpose does the saline solution serve other than seasoning and firming?

[Coryn]

Great video on how to prepare this! Super smart to add the FDA references, people aways seem to get to caught up on if its safe or not.

Enjoy your trip! Im looking forward to some restaurant shorts you may or may not post, haha 😊

[allyacosta]

Can we just use normal salt and water? Or does it have to be the ingredients u put up there? Luv ur vids btw

[asparagusmousse]

Hey, I'm really interested in trying this but how confident are you in these being compliant with the FDA requirements? The excerpt you showed in the video specifies that fish or salmon sold for raw consumption has to meet those guidelines, but the Costco salmon from this video is not sold for raw consumption unless I'm mistaken. Are you sure that this is safe?

[nathanho]

How long do I need to defrost it before I put it into the saline solution and also I was wondering if it doesn’t pass the smell test, should I not eat it as sashimi?

[mooko]

Do you need to rinse it after putting it in the salt solution? Is it going to taste salty if you don't rinse it?

[jabhatta]

Hi - could you elaborate

a) When you first bought the frozen salmon from Costco - did you then go ahead and freeze it for 7 days or did you skip this step entirely ?

b) In order to be EXTRA SAFE - i plan on freezing Costco Salmon for 2 weeks. Is that EVEN MORE safe ?

c) When preparing the saline solution -- how do you know, how much is 30 grams of salt ? I don't have measuring scales.
