Is sushi fattening?

Question

I usually like california rolls and spicy tuna? Help!?

Answer 1

For the most part, no. Sushi in general is low fat. Your average california roll is made up of imitation crab meat (actually processed fish), cucumbers, vinegared rice, nori (seaweed) and avacado. Of all of those ingredients, the only "fattening" one is avacado...but avacados are good for your heart..they are the "good kind of fat". Sushi is MUCH lower fat than most American foods, has Omega 3 and 6, and is a very healthy meal.

Plus, to clear up misconception, "sushi" does not mean raw fish. The word for sushi actually refers to the type of rice, which is sticky rice with vinegar...you can have cooked sushi, veggie sushi...it is not all raw fish. In your case, the imitation crab in your california roll is cooked...no raw fish there. The spicy tuna will be raw though...sashimi (which DOES mean raw fish) grade tuna, chopped up fine and mixed with the house's spicy sauce, then put on rice or rolled.

If you haven't tried other types of sushi...try to be adventurous...find a friend who knows about sushi and have them help you give it a try. :) That way if you don't like something, your friend can finish it. (That is how I introduced my best friend to sushi)

*no it is not fattening .but then as it is raw fish, it has not been cooked in any oils,etc so it is supposed to be good for you.
