       Among sea urchins, sturgeon, herring and other fishes, the eggs (caviar) or go-
nads (roe) can be important products. This brings us to the three “s” words in fishery
products: sushi, sashimi and surimi.
Sushi refers to a rice preparation that is sticky and slightly sweet (sour) over which
various fishery products, usually raw, are placed. Sea urchin roe, raw squid, fish roe,
boiled octopus, raw shrimp and raw pieces of fish of many kinds (frequently salmon)
are served with sushi rice in sushi bars. Often the sushi preparations are wrapped with
a type of seaweed called nori. Sushi bars are now popular in the USA and many
countries around the world including Russia.
Sashimi refers to fish or other sea food that is thinly sliced and eaten raw. Eating sa-
shimi is a long-held dietary practice in Asia and is gaining popularity in the United
States. The prime fish for sashimi is either tuna or salmon, but many types of fishes
and shall fishes are used. The sea is usually dipped in soy sauce and wasabi, a green
Japanese horse radish paste. The consumption of uncooked fishes raises the issue of
parasites that might infect humans and lead to health problems. Carefully prepared
sea food sashimi is generally safe to eat. While sushi and sashimi are becoming much
more familiar to western nations as tastes in food are broadening, the big news that is
changing the global marketing of fishery products in recent years is surimi. Surimi is
a processed fish product pioneered by the Japanese. The surimi process utilizes rela-
tively inexpensive marine fishes with white flesh like Alaska pollock. The making of
surimi is essentially a high-technology industrial process that results in a minced and
gelled fish protein product that can be modified by the addition of flavorings and tex-
tures into countless consumer products. The surimi revolution in fishery products has
only begun. Many of these products are analogues of other seafood, such as crab. Su-
rimi can be processed at sea, stored by freezing for long periods and yields products
of high and predictable quality for different market tostes around the world.
