Sushi Thread - ARIGATO!

I usually go to a sushi bar once a week or so since Its friend owned and all, Ironically this is the same place I'll probably be working at as well.

I'm not much into rolls because I don't like eating a whole bunch of rice, I usually go for raw fish as well as Ama Ebi. Cause I love my fried shrimp heads..yum yum!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Maybe its because I live in New England? I mean, we have lots of SEAFOOD here. But man. I want to see some people turn sushi into an American art. ;_;

Actually at my house we haver our sushi nights where all we eat is sushi, it also means that my brother and I spend about half the day preparing all the sushi. When we have these we usually have 5 or 6 people over so we have 10 or 11 people eating. We make whatever we happen to have bought for that night which usually means we only get certain ones every once in a while since it's usually just when it is on sale.

I've spent the last couple years learning to make good sushi. It's hard and takes time to get it down right, especially for some of the more difficult things to prepare like cuttlefish and things.

You just have to find the right people. =)

Thought I'd just post that I had sushi for lunch today at school. Haven't had it for a while and I was in the mood for some today. Glad to find that they got salmon and tuna for today's spicy roll. ^^

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've tried eating sushi before, but I just can't work-up enough courage to plop one in. The strong fish smell puts me off big time.

There is a Sushi Bar/Japanese Restaraunt around here that serves absolutely some of the best sushi I have ever had. One time I took my grandfather (Real sushi guy and is from Seattle too) and he said it was also the best that he has ever tasted. I love sushi, especially with a little wasabi.

FELIPE NO

I love sushi especially unagi. I've always wondered if it's possible to make sushi with catfish though. Probably not clean enough as they're bottom dwellers and all but they're just so darn tasty.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

If they can make it out of blowfish, it definitely isn't out of the question.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

you can die form blowfish though

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Er, yeah, that's his point.

I'm a fan of sushi, but I can't eat raw fish straight. The texture is just too much for me.

How ya doing, buddy?

I agree... raw fish just doesn't feel right in my mouth and goodness knows what might be in that raw piece of fish... :S

I especially love the Teriyaki Chicken Sushi sold at one of the Japanese restaurants in my area

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I presume you mean the... slippery-like smooth surface? It's hard to put in words.

Well, there is that and also the fact that it is like..not chewy but you have to bite it like..somewhat hard.
