The Sushi Invasion: Raw Fish Has Raw Appeal in the UK
|
The UK has always been a nation open to foreign cuisine, but for many folks the idea of raw fish is perhaps a most alien gastronomic challenge. The culinary art of sushi is woven into the cultural silk of Japanese tradition. Sushi consists of sweet, sticky rice topped with raw meat, fish, shellfish, tofu, egg or vegetables, and wrapped in various fashions using seaweed. The industry of sushi in the UK has finally filtered down from being haute cuisine to one of the most popular delivery and snack options, particularly in London. Snack bars and sushi delivery in London now rank amongst long-time bastions of overseas food options like pizza, pasta and curries.
Healthy Option
Few folks walk the aisles of any supermarket or browse the menu at their favourite restaurant without some consideration for “the healthy option” The health benefits of sushi are extolled by the unmatched health of the Japanese people. Low in calories, high in healthy omega-3 fatty acid and protein, a sushi delivery is the dish of choice for the health conscious.
Tradition vs. Fusion
The battle between sushi purists and contemporary culinary fusion enthusiasts rages on. According to Sasha Issenberg (author of “The Sushi Economy”), the success of the international sushi industry is founded partly within this constant struggle. Native Japanese sushi chefs commonly favour a single side, and leave Japan to spread the word of tradition OR explore the potential cultural fusions on offer outside the strict Japanese bubble. Take sushi delivery in London for example, the mix of fusion vs. traditionalist sushi delivery options keeps this burgeoning industry fresh, of a high standard and perpetually evolving.
With the sushi industry in the UK still presenting largely a nationally untapped market (Liverpool, for example, boasts a paltry three sushi establishments in the entire city), the popularity of going raw seems unlikely to dive to the depths of gastronomic oblivion. |
