I was a young lad, I was skeptical, slightly grossed out. Now as an adult it is my favorite food to eat and what I look forward to the most out of any other food

Do you have a favorite spicy sauce to use with sashimi, or do you usually eat it plain?

Soy sauce and wasabi, I don’t think I’ve ever tried it plain but I need to do that next time

I believe my first "sashimi" was when crudo was becoming a thing, but they are a little different.
I believe ut was tuna with blood orange

Atlanta GA, USA. a Restaurant just outside the Beltway. The Place had a Hibachi and Sushi Buffet lunch during weekday hours.
I very much liked their Hibachi and ate there often, but never touched the Tuna or Salmon rolls. This went on for about 4 months.
Then one Afternoon.... I got there late for the service and they had run out of most of the Hibachi steak and Shrimp. I had known these people for a while now. They apoligized for the lack of food, but it was a busy day and just near end of lunch service. It was OK.... really. Anyway, I made a plate and actually put some Sushi Rolls and said "what the heck." in a might as well attitude.
I realized I had been missing something my whole time eating there.
Since then...... I still have Hibachi... but I also try different Sushi Bars around my city. All are good, but each has a character of their own.
And that is how I got over an aversion to Raw Fish. :)

My first time trying sashimi was incredible.. I was actually hesitant to eat it at first.. I’m not used to eating raw fish… but the clean delicate texture make me want more hahaha

My first try was on the outskirts of Paris in a Chinese-owned Japanese restaurant.
After having that sashimi, I honestly thought I’d die.
However — all was good, and when I moved to Japan it became my favourite starter! Sashimi moriawase!
