Red Snapper Nigiri Sushi

Red Snapper Nigiri Sushi is a classic type of sushi that is made with fresh, raw red snapper and seasoned sushi rice. This type of sushi is a popular choice among sushi enthusiasts, as the delicate flavor of the red snapper balances nicely with the salty and sweet flavors of the sushi rice. Red Snapper Nigiri Sushi is often garnished with pickled ginger, wasabi, and shiso leaves, and served with a light soy sauce.
