Sushi

What age for sushi from M&S.

I'm sorry?

36

Within USE BY date.

As in, a lower age limit? I don’t think there is one. Supermarket sushi doesn’t contain raw fish (fresh sushi counters like those in some Waitroses do, though). The fish in the M&S sushi is all cured or smoked.

832 weeks.

@ThanksItHasPockets
Somebody asked about their 13 month old.Wanted to try different food.And i remembered my lot loved the sushi from M&S.But couldnt remember when they first had it.

My ds has been cruising the conveyor belt at Yo Sushi since he was 7 months old.

Depends on whether you plan on washing it down with sake I guess

M+S sushi has always confused me because it contains no raw fish (it has a label saying so). So not sushi then.

It is pretty salty, even without the soy sauce. The odd bit probably won’t do much harm.

Sushi isn’t raw fish though, that’s sashimi

@FunkyHeroCat it actually a common misconception that sushi means raw fish.

But we don't have fish tapeworm to my knowledge in Northern Europe (happy for someone to tell me different) so fresh raw fish is fine anyway. My kids have loved Yo Sushi since they were toddlers, raw fish and all.

@slappinthebass - ahh, OK - what is it then specifically - sushi rice plus something else? I admit, I'm no expert, just an enthusiastic amateur

@unicyclethief - isn't that just strips of raw fish on their own? Then nigiri sushi is strips of raw (or maybe not) fish with vinegared sushi rice?

There are some fish which are at risk of parasites (eg wild Atlantic salmon) but under U.K. food hygiene laws fish which is to be served raw has to be flash-frozen first to kill them, with the exception of some farmed fish.

I think dd1 had it at about 8-9 months when she helped herself mine!!

Yes but many people believe that sushi must contain raw fish because they are getting mixed up with sashimi.

Why would there be an age limit on sushi?? My kids were weaned on maki rolls.

Sushi is just the rice

Sashimi is sliced raw fish

Then nigiri, maki, uramaki etc are ‘styles’ of rice + egg/raw fish/fish/veg
