Mackarel Roll

232 calories, 2g fat per roll

Consider this white fish instead of your usual tuna, which might contain dangerously high levels of mercury, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Mackerel is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids and selenium, a mineral that may help protect against cancer.

Sashimi

33 calories, 1g fat per piece

Because it's served sans rice, one of these thin slices of raw fish contains fewer calories than sushi. Dab each with wasabi: The green horseradish paste has antimicrobial properties that may help fend off food poisoning.

Shrimp Roll

Skip the deep-fried tempura roll in favor of this healthier (but just as tasty) counterpart. If you miss the crunch of the tempura, get it with cucumber or pickled radish, then add a pinch of tempura flakes on the side.
