If sharing, separate a tiny piece of plain fully cooked fish before any sauces or seasonings are applied. Skip rice, nori sheets, wasabi, and dipping sauces. Avoid raw fish.
Sushi is a Japanese-style dish built from vinegared rice and fillings like fish, shrimp, cucumber, avocado, or crab, often wrapped in nori. Most components are seasoned and high in sodium.
Specialty rolls may add spicy mayo, tempura batter, cream cheese, eel sauce, or alliums. Mixed assortments make it hard to separate safe bites once seasoning is applied.
Sushi rice contains vinegar, sugar, and salt. Strong-smelling seafood and sauce residue attract pets to leftover containers and delivery bags.
