“Fortunately, this smoked salmon sushi was awesome. I learned from Anthony Bourdain that sushi isn’t necessarily supposed to taste “fresh,” but that in most cases it has been frozen at some point, and should boast an umami flavor that fish straight from the sea will never have…or something like that
The pickled veggies worked well here, blending with the fish, dressing, and rice seamlessly. They added tang and zip, but did not overpower any of the other elements in the bowl. The dressing was nice, too. It was very thin, with a texture similar to traditional soy sauce – but it had a delicate ginger flavor with just a hint of citrus.
The worst part of the bowl? The rice, simply because there was too much of it. I like brown rice just fine, but it was the least interesting element in the bowl. Sonia thought the rice may have even been a bit undercooked. For $5.99, you’d think they could throw a bit more fish our way, along with more exotic veggies and dressing.
Another negative: the packaging is a little clunky and overdone. It’s difficult to open up the lid without jerking the salad quickly, sending vegetables and fish flying across the table”
