Sushi Taco’s closer look

The idea of a sushi taco is, have all the ingredients and deliciousness of sushi in taco form. So sushi taco has all the fresh fish with sauces and avocado over sushi rice that is then encased in a taco shell. Similar to sushi burrito, some restaurants might come with ingredients and combo that leans more towards Mexican cuisine with different sauce and spices. While other restaurants might experiment with all types of different ingredients and sauce to create their own taste. At the end of the day, sushi taco, like the sushi burrito is another marketing idea, a great one. Sushi tacos oftentimes include tempura shrimp, deep-fried soft-shell crab or fatty and omega 3 fill salmon that symbolize Japanese sushi. Let us take a closer look at sushi taco and the different types.

Sushi Taco’s Types

There are two types of sushi taco and the main difference is the taco shell. It is usually a seaweed or nori shell or a regular fried taco hard shell.

Seaweed Shell

With a seaweed shell, the sushi taco has more of a sushi feel. However, it is harder for a sheet of seaweed to contain the ingredient without the sushi taco falling apart easily. These soft-shell seaweed sushi taco might be very similar to a sushi sandwich or an unrolled sushi roll. Thus, many restaurant would gently fry the nori to create a cripsy and stronger shell to encase the ingredients. While some restaurants decided to batter up the seaweed and deep fry it to create a crispy and hard shill that is capable of holding the ingredients inside without ripping or falling apart. The hard, fried seaweed shells complete the sushi taco image. In fact, the fried seaweed creates this crispy shell that is tiny and a perfect match with the rice and the ingredients. Often times on social media, you can watch videos of people eating these seaweed shell sushi taco with loud crunches.

Regular Taco Shell

While there are some restaurants that opted to serve their sushi taco with regular taco’s hard shell. Which has a more Mexican take on sushi taco. Since some taco shells itself is hard, it will be much easier to make and contain the sushi part inside the taco. But unlike the regular tacos, sushi tacos are served with fresh salmon or tuna that are flavorful sauces. The ingredients are often a mixture of Japanese raw seafood and Mexican jalapenos and sauces. Similar to the seaweed shell sushi taco, these are also very popular. This is a great option for those that prefer a crunchier texture.

Both styles of sushi taco sound delicious!
