What is "sashimi"?

Sashimi is a traditional Japanese dish that consists of thinly sliced raw fish or seafood that is served without rice or other accompaniments. The fish used in sashimi is typically of the highest quality and is selected for its freshness and flavor. Some popular types of fish used in sashimi include tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and octopus. Sashimi is often served with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger to enhance its flavor and to cleanse the palate between bites. The dish is typically presented on a bed of ice or a decorative plate to showcase its visual appeal.
