Get Fresh with a Sushi Catering Career

By Marianne Salina

We've all seen them in the grocery store: prepackaged sushi rolls sealed and ready for purchase. But is quick, ready-to-eat sushi too good to be true?

It's a predicament we've all faced before: We want something healthy for lunch and we have about ten minutes at the most to buy food and still have time to eat. The tray of California sushi rolls under the glowing deli-case lights looks like it could do the trick, but how fresh will it taste? Southern Tsunami, a company that has specialized in providing in-store sushi catering since 1986, has proved over the years that fast and fresh sushi has its place in the supermarket.

Sushi Catering Training

Southern Tsunami recognized long ago that providing catering training to sushi chefs would make sushi rolls a lunch or dinner alternative to fried chicken or mayo-laden sandwiches. Southern Tsunami catering chefs provide in-store sushi service throughout the U.S., allowing shoppers to order fast and cheap sushi rolls to go.

Catering School for Sushi Success

While there are a few factors that determine how appetizing grocery store sushi will taste, especially the age of the seafood, a good sushi experience also depends on the chef's catering training and culinary experience. Southern Tsunami's chefs not only have excellent sushi-making skills, but they also undergo culinary catering training to help them move sushi quickly and maintain fresh results.

The sushi catering success of Southern Tsunami is an inspiration to everyone pursuing catering jobs in hopes of maximizing taste and minimizing the customer's time in line.
