SUSHI -

[JSGOTI]

I can't believe this thread doesn't exist yet.
But it's fucking delicious and I'm had it for a second time this week.

What are the rolls at the bottom? They look great.

Up until a couple of years ago I was kind of a picky eater, but I've gotten better at it now. I actually didn't get into sushi until a year ago. My mom took me to this Japanese restaurant and I decided to give sushi a try. My first roll was a Super Crunch roll, it was absolutely delicious. I'd be eating sushi way more often if I had the money to.

The rolls at the bottom are a simple 'spicy tuna' roll, but it's nice big chunks of tuna with the spicy mayo on top, instead of mixed in with lesser cuts of tuna.

Edit: I definitely know what you mean about it getting expensive. tonight was exceptionally so because it was at a small 'bistro', since my brother is shipping off to the air force on Monday and it's a family thing tonight.

I'm trying to get myself into Sushi, its such an expensive food though.

I like California Rolls though.

 

[Jaiman]

Honestly even the cheap sushi at buffets and grocery stores are good to me.

 

[microwave purrito]

Ugh, share please! That looks delicious! I really love tuna, octopus, and eel nagiri, tuna and salmon sashimi, and tuna/salmon/crab/eel rolls (spicy or regular) and, of course, a good California roll. I just wish it were cheaper.

I like places where the chef has a signature style and occasionally varies his rolls.

You'd love my regular/preferred sushi join, there's actual style to each of the chefs that works there, so you know who's there, even if you're not up at the sushi bar.

Also, you missed your movie, @AnOminous, we just watched The Big Lebowski at drunk night.

I like sushi. But I don't understand how just some rice and fish on top can be so good. If you think about it, sushi as a concept seems so bland.

 

[neverendingmidi]

The sushi place near me does wonderful spider rolls. Mmmmm deep fried crab. I've also gotten addicted to tamago and inari nigiri pieces.

It's really not though. You can get your fill of sushi for the same price that you'd pay for a normal meal at a mediocre restaurant. If you're with a few people that eat it you can order a variety and try them all.

There are a lot of places that do $1 plates, too. Sushi, especially in the highly Asian-populated areas of the Pacific Northwest, is pretty much a diet staple now for broke college students who need real food.

In about 6 more months, I'll be able to have my california rolls again on my lunch break.

 

[c-no]

As much as I'm not a fan of sushi, the shrimp nigiri is one I enjoy. I'd want to give it another shot but I'm kinda weary of where to get one at. Outside of a nearby Japanese restaurant from a college I go to, there aren't many other options unless a place like 7-11 sells them, and even then, I'm not a big fan of food from 7-11 outside of the phillies they sell.

 

[Brit Crust]

Ah, sushi I prefer raw fish over cooked fish, because I find the latter to be kind of bland even when coated with breadcrumbs and spices.

Among my favorite are crab, octopus, fish roe, and avocado rolls.

 

[Ntwadumela]

Literally any kind of sushi is delicious IMO

 

[Trilby]

Hearing of the stories of those who got sick or died from eating raw fish, I would never touch sushi personally.

You guys need to get gud at sushi.

Those are children and weak/old people and don't matter. Your opinion is bad


I don't even know where to begin with this thread. I'm always disappointed with people's opinions on sushi because they are uninformed, but I'm here to educate people who want to venture outside of their supermarket California rolls.

-Fresh salmon/yellowtail nigiri is divine.
-if you actually care about sushi, real sushi and how it tastes and not just stuffing your fat fucking face with carbs, don't order anything described as "crunchy"
-what's labelled "super white tuna" or sometimes just "white tuna" is not always tuna, it's escolar. Escolar is delicious but can sometimes hurt your stomach. Still worth it imo because it is delicious, just mislabeled.
-protip, that probably no one here will get because you're all plebs: if a place sells fried salmon or Hamachi (yellowtail) collar or other parts, they have very fresh salmon/yellowtail sushi and sashimi.

Warning: fake shit is often sold as red snapper. It's hard to avoid this because it's the distributors that are doing it mainly. Also tilapia, pretty much a cheap trash fish, is substituted for all kinds of things.

This seems to be rampant, lots of fish are passed off as other fish.
Escolar is my favorite example, because it's pretty consistently mislabeled. But escolar is really delicious so I don't care, and if it's actually on the menu I ask for it.
Do you know what they usually pass off as red snapper? I've never been a fan but whatever it is its usually the same color & texture, so maybe I just don't like it, I don't know.

 

[friedshrimp]

Hmm you can never go wrong with either nigiri, makis or sashimi. I'm basic so I usually go for salmon, but the ones with tuna and shrimp are also nice.

Just gimme all the wasabi. I can't get enough of that shit.
