where do you monger your sushi grade fish? Is this a good deal? Want to start making sushi at home, just cuz bidenflation and stuff.

That's an okay price. 20 oz of fish should be 2-4 meals especially if you are doing both rolls and nigiri.

Making sushi at home is fun, but there is a learning curve to handling the vinegared rice, slicing the fish, and proportioning everything properly.

The proportions are extremely important when making nigiri. 10-15g of rice and a thin slice of fish. Using a scale at first will be very helpful.

all fish is frozen prior to being used for sushi. restaurants also get mail dropped

I checked my local fish monger and ahi tuna filet is going for 35/lb and the salmon "toro"/belly is like 26/lb.

Seems reasonable enough...

>monger
baka

step 1: go to a nearby river or lake
step 2: catch the fish yourself
step 3: bring them home and make sushi

you're reinventing the wheel. it's literally raw fish and rice you don't need special order folded a thousand times fillets

All tuna is safe to eat raw
All farmed salmon is safe to eat raw
Buy a good cut of either don't fall for 'sushi grade' fish because that term isn't regulated and is slapped on fish for marketing purposes

Freshwater fish parasites are much more dangerous than saltwater fish parasites
Always freeze fish for at least two days before eating.
