raw fish salad
膾 centers on a dish of raw fish or meat sliced and served as a salad. The meaning is specific to this culinary preparation.
膾 combines the flesh radical ⺼ (meat) with 會, which likely contributes the sound and possibly the idea of combining or mixing ingredients. The exact historical development is uncertain.
The left side ⺼ is flesh, and the right side 會 looks like a gathering under a roof. Picture a chef gathering thin slices of raw fish and arranging them into a salad.
For カイ, imagine a chef named Kai preparing a raw fish salad: Kai -> カイ, and his specialty is this dish.
