I recall watching a YouTube deep dive on it and basically it was debunked. It’s raw fish, people have been eating it on sushi rice since fish and rice existed. But Norway did push it heavily in the 80’s.
People in Japan did not eat salmon sushi because it was considered unsafe. The type of salmon caught by Japanese fishermen is not fit for raw consumption. That’s why salmon sushi only got popular when Norwegian companies exported the fish.
I refuse to believe that salmon sushi is younger than me.
Never mind that – it was invented in Norway?!
Without looking it up, I believe it was because they were producing so much salmon and looking for ways to make it more popular.

I’m unfamiliar…
