    Sashimi refers to fish or other sea food that is thinly sliced and eaten raw. Eat-
ing sashimi 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 product 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 su-
shi 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 relatively 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 textures into countless consumer products. The surimi
revolution in fishery products has only begun. Many of these products are analo-
gues of other seafood, such as crab. Surimi 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.
