What is the proper way to eat sushi?

Answer 1

Maybe different people eat sushi in different styles. You can eat sushi with hands but chopsticks are ok too. Never use knife and fork ever. Dip only the fish in soy sauce for nigiri, never the rice, and place fish on tongue first. For maki, just dip lightly.

Answer 2

I like making meals with sashimi grade Yellowfin (Ahi) Tuna three different ways.

The easiest is as sashimi. Just slice it across the grain into 1/4" thick slices, serve with some dipping soy, wasabi, and pickled ginger.

The second is sushi style either over rice, sliced the same as the sashimi, or in a roll with rice, nori, and whatever vegetables you like.

The third which I receive lots of requests for is seared steaks. I mix butter with thyme and rosemary and brush it on the tuna steak to marinate while making a sauce. The sauce consists of reduced wine and wine vinegar, onions and garlic, mix-in some wasabi paste and then soy and butter. I then sear the steaks on the grill to each person's liking (mine is no more than 2 minutes per side). I serve sliced thin, sprinkle a little panco bread crumb for texture, place over wild rice with the sauce either on the side or drizzled over the top. People that can't stand tuna LOVE it this way.
