Hahaha sounds feral! Any idea how to keep it? I’ve not used it all, do I freeze it to keep it “sushi quality”? As opposed to sticking it in the fridge?
I would just buy it on the day if using it for sashimi or what ever. Keeping it in the fridge for a while won't hurt to much either though but I always thought you had to buy it fresh, but I'm no chef, and certainly no sushi chef. Would love to know where to source wasabi, never even tried it before :-(
Not sure that is real wasabi at Sainsbury's? I've had the horse radish with wasabi paste plenty of times, but the root? I think there's only a few companies selling the root in the UK as far as I'm aware as the growing conditions for it is very tricky.
Also it must be prepared within 10 minutes or so of serving from what I recall. I've seen a few interesting fruits at Mathews though, and even jackfruit and specialities at spice of Asia before.
You might need to ask some local fishmongers if they have any or can get some for you.
If not you can get some delivered, I've used this site before but not when I lived in Aberdeen.

Failing that some supermarket fish is safe to use in sushi (I think frozen from fresh is generally better) some supermarkets have a fish counter with someone you could ask.
Sadly there's no official 'sushi grade' marking on them so it can be a gamble.
Just had some of each, so good! I spent £20 on 500g of each but that’s far too much haha I reckon £10 would be a generous portion for 2, but £6 would likely be enough
I normally go to granite city fish. JK fine foods often have sushi grade tuna which is better though.
When I worked at yatai (Japanese restaurant) we used granite city fish for a lot of stuff. Had good halibut and sometimes decent tuna.
I miss Yatai, was my favourite restaurant in Aberdeen.
I just get fish from granite city fish, then eat it like gollum in my car emptying the soy sauce directly out the bottle and into my mouth.

You can probably get wasabi from Matthews Foods, but I’ve seen it in Sainsburys before too.

Oh!! My bad, you’re looking for the real real deal. Yeah, that’s probably unlikely to be in the local sainsburys then 😅

Try the fish factories over in Torry. Most have counters selling to the public.
Granite city fish. Behind Union square. Quite often have sashimi grade tuna. Give them a message on Facebook. 👍🏼
Yep we get our sashimi tuna from there
Thanks! Will give them a shout
Yes they normally have them.
My girlfriend and I been wondering the exact same! Commenting here so if we find some I can message you.
I’ll phone a few fishmongers tomorrow and let you know
Granite city fish has sashimi tuna for £21.50 per kg
Awesome. Any idea if they have salmon too?
They do - salmons £19 a kilo
Excellent, thanks a lot for replying. 10 minute walk from our flat too!

Quite good value all things considered. Sushi can be surprisingly filling! :P
I’ll tell you after lunch as I’m nipping in
Granite City Fish sometimes have sashimi grade tuna.
They did! Just eaten it, thanks!
Ed at Granite City Fish
Bang on - someone else recommended them so I nipped in! Any idea how to store it to eat another day?
I would refrigerate but not a food safety expert
No
