Sushi

Who likes it?

I used to think it was dumb to eat your bait but I have changed my opinion. I like it.

They have this kind of hippy food mart here called Sprouts and on Wed they have $5 sushi. You get a good portion and its fresh made. I got two boxes and ate 1/2 of each for an early lunch. One box has 12 rolls; 6 Rainbow and 6 Philly the other has 6 veggie and 6 California rolls.

Good stuff

and I can use the rest for bait if I go fishing ;)

    I was stationed at camp Fuji for awhile on mainland Japan. Refused to eat it there, refuse to eat it anywhere.

    Wife and kids eat that... stuff, quite a bit.

    If made with the right fresh fish, and served with side of the right mix of Balsamic vinegar and soy sauce, it is great.

    Grab those sticks and salivate.

    My late uncle used to "pickle" raw pike meat filet strips in his own concoction of vinegar and spices and it was delicious as an appetizer on crackers.

    He told me that the pickling process actually cooked the fish. As for the stuff I run across at the local places calling it sushi, I do not participate. I watched to many movies where folks were stranded out in the ocean and had to eat whatever raw fish they were lucky enough to get their hands on.

    Survival food at best IMHO. Sure, I'd probably eat just about anything if survival was at stake.

    In Central and South America they make a dish called Ceviche. It is raw fish cooked in lemon juice and other stuff. It is fantastic! One of my favorite things to eat when I lived in Panama. I had a boat and I would go fishing and catch a fish called a Corvina. I would take a bunch to my yard man and his wife would make me Ceviche, it was the best I have ever had.

    The Corvina fish is like a Drum or a sea trout and has a great taste.

    Can't do it Sam, bait belongs on a hook. You're welcome to my share though.

    Had sushi yesterday. Love sushi, sashimi, ceviche, pickled herring...anything like that. It's delicious.

    The chances of getting parasites from fish is about the same as salmonella from eggs, or being hit by a tornado. Vanishingly slim.

    Sushi is great!!!
    Love it!!!

    You can eat your frozen "hamburger patty" that was formed by a machine in a factory 8 months ago.
    Or order another taco from the teenage kid behind a counter who can't even spell cross-contamination.

    All I can say it some people will eat most anything...but I am a bit more picky about my food.
    I wouldn't eat it on a bet ....and I don't/won't eat fish that's cooked either.
    Just plain smelly crap IMO.

    That's called "food aversion." It's an irrational state of mind.

    You can get parasites from salads and I don't mean from "tossing" one either.

    Going to a discount a.k.a. All You Can Eat Sushi joint. Yeah you'll get more than a good price. Me I'll go to places the guy/gal behind the counter is conscientious about the task and not concerned in just cranking it out.

    As for fresh or questionable fish. I rather get mine frozen. Freezing does a good job of killing bugs. That is if the freezer goes low enough.

    Now ceviche I like it just fine but if it's tilapia or freshwater fish, pass.

    Kikoman (sp?) makes a "ginger" flavored soy sauce that REALLY adds a great flavor to any Sushi dish.

    I may catch some harassment for saying this but.....I grew up (a poor black child) and only La Choy soy sauce was ever on our table.

    The taste became "imprinted" on my memory banks as the only stuff my pallet will accept. Have tried Kikkoman and it did not find favor in my flavor circuits!

    To those uneducated in the fine culinary art of sushi, it is impossible to dislike all types of sushi unless you also dislike rice. You dislike the concept of eating raw fish?? No problem. There are as many different flavors/varieties of sushi as there are days in the year.

    I'm getting carry-out sushi for lunch today!!! Because I'm cheap I will just get the vegetarian rolls today but I LOVE the raw spicy tuna!! The raw salmon......not so much. It is a consistency thing.

    We made our own Sunday.
    Fresh fish off the local boats is a NJ shore benefit.
    BTW Not all sushi is raw.

    Sushi -- deep-fried 'til crispy is excellent eating!

    Down south we call it, "Catfish!".
    I can't believe they misspelled "Pork and Beans!"

    I love it. But I think I like it only because I love the taste of wasabi mixed with soy sauce!

    Kikkoman was always on my table. Recently I got some soy from Chinese take out I like. I wanna say * Kee? I'll need to look on those packs to make sure. Anyways * Kee is not so strong in flavor than Kikkoman so it goes well with sashimi and other eats that do better with lighter soy.

    Poor comparison, raw ocean fish has some truly exotic parasites. Makes pork look positively Kosher. :lol:


    I don't like raw fish and I have had sushi and sashimi. But then I don't love much of any fish except walleye and bluegill.

    I like Sashmi and Sushi. Once when I was stationed in Albany, Georgia, some of the Japanese ladies sliced up the catfish filets into Sashmi cuts, which they loved! They could not get enough of it!

    Sure they were Japanese? To me Southeast Asians? None of my people eat it raw. We'll grill them like eel and slather them with that Unagi Sauce. Now me, I'm more fried catfish.

    Pretty certain, Yosh. As I recall they were from Okinawa and the mainland, which is where a lot of Marines have long been stationed in sizable numbers. One day another Staff Sergeant and I came back from a Flint RIver trot and side line outing and brought back a lot of Blues in the 8 to 12
    pound range. Having much more than we needed we gave some of them away to the neighbors, and the next thing we know they were clamoring about it making really good Sashimi and would like to have more. :):)

    I've had it, but for me it's one of those things I can take or leave. I don't care for it enough to bother getting it, unless I am out with someone that's in the mood for it.
