Last time we got Hmart sashimi it absolutely did fail us. I don’t know what happened, maybe it was just a bad batch, but it just tasted really off and we couldn’t eat it, ended up throwing it away.
They were very nice and gave us a refund since it was quite a lot of money. But it’s made me reluctant to get any sashimi from there again. I mean, we probably will, but…

The prepackaged fish to use for sashimi is the same as the fresh fish they display on ice and that are not pre packed. The prepackaged are marked up and labeled as sushi grade even though it is the same fish as the fresh fish…

Better eat it in the next 15 min before it turns

That’s pretty expensive for what it is.
Just buy a slice of salmon

Why so expensive, that’s like $5 of salmon and $3 of tuna. I buy them and cut up sashimi every week, just make sure it’s farmed salmon and you’re good.

H mart in doraville in ATL. Salmon they had for sure. My favorite sashimi or for nigiri. Tuna fresh is not recommended without being flash frozen.

made my first sushi the other night! 99% h mart (austin, tx, asahi was closed). girlfriend was over the moon!
menu:
1, hamachi sashimi nobu style (looked GREAT, tasted almost as good but i forgot ponzu so just used a bit of soy sauce) using hmarts pre sliced hamachi sashimi. 9/10
2. hamachi nigiri using the end piece that didn’t look like the rest in shape (first nigiri attempt. turned out alright but learned a lot on forming nigiri since). little thai chili and ginger garnish. 4/10 presentation, 7/10 flavor
3. bunch of kani nigiri as filler because they were easy
4. copy of a local place’s role that started the motivation for this whole thing: 9/10
“crush on you roll” —shrimp tempura (first time doing tempura, turned out ok! h mart shrimp, HEB cake flour) tempura itself 6/10 —spicy tuna (half of the unsliced h-mart block of bluefin) —rolled uramaki style (h mart makisu), —topped with blackened tuna (from h-mart’s unsliced block of bluefin) —honey wasabi (both from h mart) —goat cheese crumbles (HEB, sorry, h mart won’t be having that foolishness) —green onion curls. (h mart)
rice and nori h mart as well

There’s an H mart a block from Chicago’s union station and I used to visit my boyfriend before I moved up here by taking the train and there was always like a 2 hour wait until my final train and I would absolutely walk there and grab the variety pack of sides with fermented tiny fishes and natto and seaweed and random other stuff I couldn’t identify lol and of course a bottle of rice wine. I would get on the train and be the weirdo eating stinky food!!! I did not care, totally worth it.
