Amaebi: the Sweet Shrimp

At Flo’s Japanese restaurant in Bellevue, you can enjoy a delicious amaebi nigiri sushi as part of your authentic Japanese dining experience. The amaebi, commonly known in English as the sweet shrimp or spot prawn, represents an excellent sushi choice both in terms of taste and environmental sustainability.

Taste the Sweetness of Amaebi

What makes the amaebi special is that it is the only shrimp that is largely accepted as being best served raw. This is because it has a sweet taste that can be easily destroyed in the cooking process. Additionally, they are known to be a fertile species reproducing abundantly in the Canadian Pacific; their populations are strong enough such that Seafood Watch rates them as a “best choice”. Come and indulge in a delicious and guilt-free amaebi nigiri at Flo Restaurant tonight!
