LadyKT Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 So what is a good condiment to go with sashimi (riceless, of course)? soy sauce is out, spicy mayo is out, and eel sauce is definitely out... ideas? Also is seaweed salad okay or no because of the sesame seed oil/seeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 seaweed salad is very unlikely to be compliant-most places, even the fanciest ones, buy great tubs of the stuff. It's filled with sugar and soy. SO yeah. Sashimi (no soy sauce or rice) is fine. Those iceberg lettuce/carrot salads might be ok, but probably not the dressing. I've had luck asking for plain vegetables (avocado, cucumber, etc.). Since they have those for the rolls, they might be willing to give you some to go with your fish.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted April 2, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 2, 2013 Some people take coconut aminos with them and use it in place of soy sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmichelle82_ Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 ^^ I've totally brought a bottle of coconut aminos with me to a sushi restaurant! I'll get the avocado salad (it's usually just avocado and lettuce), sashimi, then eat them together with a little drizzle of coconut aminos. So good!

jodea Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm going out for sushi soon, so this was really helpful, thanks. I never thought of asking for an avocado salad. Sadly coconut aminos aren't easy to find in the UK, but I may order some online. You can take your own booze to our local sushi place, so why not your own condiments!

TiMANimal Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Sashimi is one of my favorites, what about wasabi & pickled ginger. Not sure if either is complaint in most restaurants, anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickled ginger definitely not (sugar), I don't know about wasabi, but I would assume it is not ok. The neon green paste coming from a tube is bound to have off-plan ingredients like soy or potato starch. If it is just fresh ground horseradish (paler, more irregular texture) you are good to go.

Fenderbender Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Most places will make you a rice less roll of fish and veg.... All of the Nori I've seen only has 100% seaweed in it. Salmon,avocado,cuke and jalapeño is pretty awesome..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 A Naruto roll is sushi with no rice and cucumber and/or avocado is on the outside. It's super pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Salmon,avocado,cuke and jalapeño is pretty awesome..... I want this....like NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenderbender Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Just general sushi bar info..... Unless they are getting slammed, mid rush on a Saturday night.... The chefs at the sushi bar are usually very friendly and talkative..... I sit right at the bar and strike up conversation.... Tell them about my restrictions and they just start handing the bottles over the counter for me to read ingredients.... One place I go to had a special that night...stuffed spicy grilled jalapeños with scallop and they were complient.... We had three orders yum!!!! Never hurts to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
