Sashimi calories: estimates per piece
Sashimi is fish served without rice. Its estimate mainly depends on the fish and the size of the slice.
Common sashimi
Fattier fish such as salmon generally have more calories per slice than lean tuna or sea bass.
Sauces and dressings are not included in the slice and should be counted separately.
Without rice, sashimi is among the lighter options on the menu for the same amount of fish. The main variable remains slice thickness and weight, which changes from restaurant to restaurant.
| Type | Estimate per piece |
| Salmon | 34–52 kcal |
| Tuna | 28–43 kcal |
| Sea bass | 24–40 kcal |
Slice thickness can noticeably change the value.
