Did You Know?

Salmon wasn't traditionally used in Japanese sashimi until the 1980s! Japanese chefs considered Pacific salmon too fatty and prone to parasites. It was actually a Norwegian marketing campaign called 'Project Japan' that convinced Japanese restaurants to try Atlantic salmon, and it became so popular that salmon is now the #1 sushi topping in Japan, surpassing tuna.
