True World Foods of Brooklyn, NY is one of the countries largest seafood distributors and in conjunction with Kyokuyo, Co. has introduced a new line of frozen sushi called Polar Seas that will be available retail and for food service and caterers. The rice supposedly tastes fresh and the fish is tender, and they say that they have overcome the problems that have plagued frozen sushi in the past. The companies spent a lot of time doing research into how to prepare rice so that it can be frozen then defrosted, and still be a quality product. Right now they have tuna, salmon, and shrimp nigiri; as well as assorted maki rolls including California, Philadelphia, spicy tune, spicy salmon, and spicy shrimp. Polar Seas isn't the only frozen sushi out there. I found quite a few including the award winning Sushi Trend frozen sushi for food service and catering. These products may taste great but I think that the next time I see sushi at a catered event, in a cafeteria, or a hotel I am definitely going to ask if it is fresh or frozen.
