Sashimi for GTA 6 Night: What to Order and How to Serve It

Sashimi suits a game-night dinner when you want very little cooking and a meal that feels like an occasion. The key is to serve it as dinner, rather than leave raw fish on the coffee table for a long gaming session. Choose the fish first, organise a few sides and keep it chilled until you sit down to eat.

For the current release date and the wider food plan, start with our GTA 6 launch-night guide.

Decide whether sashimi is the meal or a starter

This makes a bigger difference to your order than the number of people alone. Two people having sashimi with substantial sides need a different order from two people sharing a few slices before a cooked dinner.

When you browse our sashimi selection, check the current product description, pack size and serving information. Tell the team how many people are eating and whether you are serving another main dish. Do not treat a platter's suggested serving count as a guarantee that it will satisfy every appetite.

If someone does not eat raw fish, choose a separate cooked meal for them from the start. Avoid buying extra sashimi on the assumption that everyone will try it.

Ask for fish intended for raw consumption

Do not choose an ordinary cooking fillet and assume it is suitable for sashimi because it looks fresh. Ask the team specifically for fish intended to be eaten raw, and follow the product's storage and use-by advice. Buying a prepared selection also avoids adding slicing and clean-up to your evening.

Before ordering, check the ingredients in any included sauces and garnishes. Soy-based sauces, sesame and other accompaniments can matter just as much as the fish when you are checking dietary requirements. Contact the store about an allergy rather than relying on a photo of the finished platter.

Build a small table around the fish

Start with cucumber, a simple salad and a side you already know how to prepare. Serve sauces in individual dishes so everyone can choose how much to use. If you make rice, prepare and serve it with the meal; do not leave a rice bowl sitting out through the session.

Set out chopsticks or forks, napkins and a separate serving utensil. A plate at a table is easier to manage than a shared tray balanced between a controller and a headset. Eat first, wash your hands, then return to the game.

Keep the rest of the order in the fridge

Serve a modest amount and bring out more only if needed. Keep chilled food at 5°C or colder and follow the supplier's instructions. Food Standards Australia New Zealand explains that time out of refrigeration is cumulative; putting food back briefly does not erase earlier time on the table.

If you are still choosing between raw and cooked seafood, compare our cooked game-night dinners. Once you have chosen, use the collection and delivery checklist to arrange the food before your evening begins.
