Careers in the sushi industry include working as a sushi instructor at a culinary school, a sushi chef at a restaurant, or as a sushi sales rep for a seafood distribution business. As a sushi instructor, your duties are to teach students how to prep fish, rice, and other ingredients to make sushi. You might teach a class at an adult extension program or a vocational school. Sushi chefs work in restaurants where they oversee the purchase of seafood and other ingredients, prepare sushi for customers, supervise line cooks and other kitchen staff, and develop menus. A sushi sales rep works for seafood distributors, fish wholesalers, and other companies that supply raw seafood to sushi restaurants.
