Where to find the best supermarket sushi in Los Angeles — seared salmon nigiri, the freshest sashimi platters, hand rolls filled with negitoro and more.Longtime employees such as Moreno still work at the store. Victor Humay, assistant general manager , oversees every aspect of making rolls, which include not just the California kind but also salmon and avocado, spicy tuna, unagi and more — all displayed in the refrigerated cases that line one store wall.
In the beginning, “We sold all kinds of fish, many kinds — squid, sardines, mackerel, plus Japanese grocery,” Moreno said. “But day by day, fish business was shrinking.” The hub of Yama Seafood market in San Gabriel is its fish counter. The store also features a wide selection of sake and artisanal Japanese products such as soy sauce.
