And now it seems the next trendy topping to take over the world will have a fishy taste.

Combinations that can be found at Sash include everything from sashimi and blue cheese to chili crab pizza with Balsamic vinegar and ginger
Sash co-owner Dave Nelson told Daily Mail Australia that sashimi pizza was actually inspired by the poke bowl movement.
‘We saw that as a fresh, clean, and healthier option that had some amazing flavours, and tried it on some pizzas,’ he said.
‘It worked and we came up with a whole concept of sashimi-style pizza and ended up getting carried away with sashimi tacos and sliders.’
Pizzas on Sash’s menu include a pie with tropical tuna, sashimi tuna, mango, strawberry, and avocado and another that has salmon and tuna sashimi topped with blue cheese, sriracha sauce, and mayonnaise.

Nelson found that the textures of sashimi and pizza ‘work really well together’ and that Sash wanted to bring a ‘fresh and healthier’ option to pizza
The most expensive pizza on the menu, clocking in at $34, is the chili crab pizza – which is topped with Balsamic vinegar, some fruit and ginger.
Nelson found that the textures of sashimi and pizza ‘work really well together’.
‘You’ve got the sashimi, which is cold and soft, and the pizza base, which is warm with a crunch.’
‘It’s a great texture in the mouth and most of our items have that same philosophy – we wanted that soft-hard combination in as many dishes as possible’.
Sash even offers up dessert pizza with this apple crumble creation, featuring a miso caramel
There are also sashimi tacos, with flavours that include spicy tuna, wagyu beef, and kingfish pina colada
Along with the sashimi pizzas, Sash also offers eggplant-based vegan pizzas and even an apple crumble pizza for dessert.
