sashimi
Sliced raw fish
Sashimi is a Japanese dish of thinly sliced raw fish or seafood, served without rice.
Unlike sushi, which combines raw fish with vinegared rice, sashimi showcases the fish alone, typically arranged on a plate with garnishes like shredded daikon and wasabi: The sashimi platter had salmon, tuna, and yellowtail.
