The picture above looked like blubber only, the best sashimi is very lean and is served partially frozen. Dipped in soy sauce and wasabi it is both delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day. I might forgo this pleasure if I ever return to Japan though, the possible heavy metal contamination would scare me away from it.

Opihi does take some getting used to…even if you like other shellfish like scallops, clams, and oysters. Grilling the opihi and them eating them with ponzu sauce helps, but yea…I’m not a fan of it either.
