Whether you’re new to the world of sushi or have remained loyal to a specific fish, there may come a time when you feel ready to expand your horizons by sampling new bites from a sushi platter. With several different options, platters feature a rich blend of flavors and provide something for everyone. The next time you’re dining with a group, order a platter to try a new fish, nigiri, or roll.

What’s on a Sushi Platter?

1. Hamachi

Hamachi, or yellowtail, is a popular fish used for sushi. It’s pale pink and features a buttery texture and rich flavor. The bold flavor can be a bit tangy due to the high fat content.

2. Ebi

Ebi is shrimp, and it’s prepared in a special way for sushi. The shrimp is boiled, butterflied, and served plain or with nigiri, which is vinegared rice that’s molded into an oval.

3. Spicy Salmon

4. Tamago

Tamago means egg in Japanese, and it’s made by rolling several layers of cooked egg together into a rectangle. Tamago is often served as a nigiri. It pairs well with sake, which is a Japanese rice wine that’s made by fermenting rice.
