High in oil and protein Bold, rich taste, earthy Eaten cooked, not raw Difficult to make- often purchased prepared by a Unagi chef. Often eaten with sweet basting eel sauce In Japan- mythical energizing powers and aphrodisiac qualities Distinct oily flavor Delicate fish often salt cured and rice vinegar rinsed.

COOLING RICE SLOWLY WHILE ADDING VINEGAR ENHANCES FLAVOR AND ALLOWS FOR THE NECESSARY CONSISTENCY TO FORM THE SUSHI. Acidification is only needed if the operator intends to leave the rice at room temperature—which is standard practice in making sushi If rice will not be kept out of refrigeration, then the rice should be cooled using Food Code cooling parameter to 41ºFor kept above 135ºF ACIDIFICATON of rice using vinegar, salt and sugar to a pH of 4.1 but not to exceed 4.6. Various recipe exist. A pH meter or other effective testing devise shall be used to determine is the pH is met for every batch made Conduct the pH test within 30 minutes after acidification of the cooked rice and as often as necessary to assure a targeted pH of 4.1 and an equilibrium pH of 4.6. Make a rice slurry by gathering a 1/4 cup sample of the cooked, acidified rice taken from various locations in the batch and add 3/4 cup of distilled water in a clear plastic or metal blend cup. Blend the slurry for approximately 20 seconds. Verify pH with a calibrated pH meter by placing the meter in the liquid of the slurry. If the target pH is 4.1, two buffers for calibration should provide readings of 4.0 and 7.0. If the pH meter does not read the buffers correctly, make the necessary adjustment in the device according to the manufacturer’s instructions or replace the device HACCP A HACCP plan must be developed and followed if Rice is being acidified Must have SOPs in place for training, sanitation and similar required pre-requisite programs pH tests, letters of guarantee from suppliers shall be available and kept at the production site HACCP log sheets, acidification log sheet, corrective action documentation. Shellstock identification shall be maintained for 90 days Parasite destruction guarantees or documentation90 day retention Dedicated preparation area- time or space No bare hand contact Approved sources of ingredients Parasitic Hazard Control* Histamine producing fish* shall have documentation provided from the supplier that temperature control have been met from harvest through delivery to prevent decomposition and thus histamine production. Cut veggies should be refrigerated Bamboo mats shall be wrapped in plastic wrap and re-wrapped ever 4 hrs Knives, cutting boards and other equipment in contact with PHF foods- cleaned and sanitized every 4 hours.

These are scrombriod toxinforming species as defined in 21 CFR 123.3(m) as meaning bluefish, mahi-mahi, tuna, and other fish (not necessarily all in the Scrombriae family) in which high levels of histamine can be produced when exposed to elevated temperatures.
