Do you like sushi?

[MushyMushy]

We have a place near us that makes great tempura sushi. I guess not the healthiest thing ever, but if you're afraid of raw fish, it would be a good option.

Mmmmmmm! We have a restaurant that does that too. They used to put a wasabi mayonnaise on top of it, but then they switched to a mayonnaise/Franks red hot mixture. YUCK! For some reason it's just not the same without that wasabi mayo.

There's also another restaurant that makes a "Pittsburgh roll" that has a yummy seafood salad rolled in seaweed, rolled in rice. OMG. I could eat that all day.

I LOVE sushi ... I'm with a couple of other posters who said they could eat it every day and not get sick of it.

Just for the record ... sushi does not have to have raw fish, and nor does it have to have any fish/seafood at all (a lot of people keep saying "gross" raw fish! blaghhh). Some delicious possibilities for people who don't want to eat raw fish include a california roll (imitation crab salad plus avacado ... mmmm), a veggie roll (various veggies), cucumber roll, avacado roll (delicious), asparagus roll, tamago (egg omelette on top of a square of rice -- very mild and delicious), eel (this is fully cooked in a teriyaki-like sauce and tastes like a mild flaky fish), cooked shrimp, and there is also a kind (don't know the same) that is rare tuna -- slightly cooked with a red interior, like tuna you might get at a fancy restaurant.

If you are curious about sushi, some japanese restaurants have a combo with some teriyaki or whatever you might like and a little bit of sushi. You can ask your server to tell the sushi chefs to pick "beginner" & non raw fish sushi for you for the combo.

As for me, I love some of the "beginner" sushi varieties, but I also love the raw fish varieties. In fact, I love raw fish so much (those of you 'haters' out there cannot possibly imagine how tender the fish is and how delicate the flavors are!) that I have "graduated" to sashimi (usually a selection of raw fish served with a bowl of rice!) MMMM....

This thread makes me want the spicy suhi plate at the CA Grill. There are days husband and I get a big craving for that and it's so far away. That is probably one of the best sushi I have ever had.

Thanks for the Tip I want to go to the CA Grill on our Christmas trip we have never been there.

I voted no, overall I'm not a huge fan, but there are a few things I do like. I usually go out for sushi with a friend who is very adventurous. I'll try the stuff she orders, but I stick to the beginner friendly stuff. My favorite is a beef roll. Cream cheese, teriyaki beef strips and asparagus. Totally non-traditional but very tasty.

If you like Sushi, like I like Sushi....

 

[QT Pooh]

I love it! If I could eat it every night of the week, I would!

 

[Laura]

Mmm.... avocado roll....

 

[Miss Jasmine]

I'm picky about where I eat it, but I LOVE it. I could eat it everyday. Yum!

 

[missj1975]

Yes I love Sushi but it gets a bad rap because most people have the preconceived notion that "Sushi" is raw fish when actually "Sushi" refers to how it is prepared. I'm getting hungry just thinking about Sushi. Is it lunch time yet?

 

[jusmom]

LOVE IT!!! My hubby and I went and had a wonderful sushi lunch just yesterday.

 

[minnieandme]

no and I don't think I want to try it

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

MMM, I wish I could eat sushi everyday. I love it! And I eat it all, from the cooked to the raw. It's sooooooo good. Sushi is definitely my favorite food

 

[Hedy]

Also a vegetarian who love sushi. But no seafood for me. I stick to cucumber, avocado, and asparagus rolls, or some combination thereof.

I love vegtable sushi.

 

[Darth Cupcake]

I love it! But I admit that I mostly eat the less fishy types like California Rolls and Avocado rolls. There is one with shrimp and cream cheese and it is wonderful! DH loves to eat about any kind of raw fish sashimi style. I can't even look at the bowl.

 

[ChrisnSteph]

I've tried, it several tiimes. Definitely not for me!

 

[cryssi]

My aunt and uncle have a japanese restaurant, so I pretty much grew up on goooood food...

Fave rolls:

crunchy
dragon
spicy tuna
california (with the tobiko - tiny orange flying fish eggs - on the outside)
hmm, I have yet to meet a roll that I didn't like!

Fave nigiri and/or sashimi:

maguro (tuna)
hamachi (yellowtail)
ama ebi (sweet shrimp - it is raw)
salmon
halibut
tataki

um...maybe I should just tell you what I don't like...

I can't stand UNI b/c it makes me want to throw up...seriously. I valiantly tried to like it, but I just decided that since it's so expensive and I don't really enjoy it, why even bother? I also don't like salmon eggs, because they taste like fish bait...not that I've tried fish bait, but I've fished using salmon eggs as bait and they are quite stinky...

 

[blue_river]

I have to say that I'm very surprised at the number of people who actually like it!

 

[MamaLema]

I've tried different kinds and didn't like any of them. Won't be trying it again.

 

[caitycaity]

i could live on sushi and pizza alone.

We love it at our house. My DH is the most adventuresome from all of his business trips to Japan. I usually get 1/2 raw and 1/2 cooked or veggie. Even my 12 year old DD loves the California Roll and her favorite - Shrimp Tempura roll (how can you not love fried shrimp?). She also loves the teriyakis, gyoza and shumai dumplings, and the spring rolls. Hmm, I now have such a hankering, I might have to order in Japanese tonight.
