                                While traditional sushi is known for its light and healthy profile, modern adaptations can be surprisingly high in fat. For instance, a single shrimp tempura roll can contain up to 508 calories and 21 grams of fat, significantly more than a simple fish and rice option. This unexpected reality makes many question why sushi is so high in fat.
