Poll: Sushi

[CrashBang]

UNAGI! Not joking, I seriously adore unagi, and rice dishes with scallops and prawns etc, just fuckin' awesome

 

[hepzibah]

One of the waiters at a sushi restaurant in Manchester has a crush on me so I get free drinks. This makes me love sushi even more!

Seriously though, it's so delicious omg

I love raw fish a little too much for my own good; I have such a hard time not gobbling down a steak of tuna before I'm finished grilling it.

Where can you get a hold of sushi-grade fish?

Fun fact: Sushi isnt actually raw fish. Its a very big misconception among many people. The seasoned-rice thats in the roll is actually the sushi. But since sushi is usually served with fish, people began to mistake that for being the sushi. Raw fish by itself is called sashimi (sa-she-me). Just throwing that out there ^__^.

Semantics, whatever.
I don't see how it has any particular relevance to what I said.
Fish that is suitable for raw consumption alone would also be suitable for raw consumption on rice, no?
Anyway, I'm a minor in Asian studies, particularly with Japan. I've been to Japan for weeks.
Hell, at the time of writing that first post, I was eating rice with nori.
I'm not stupid. I know what sashimi is, and I damn well know the basics of pronouncing Romanized Japanese.

I had it once and it was ok, but I followed the first tasty bite with one that had a tiny amount of wasabi on it and that almost made me vomit in public. I don't know what kind it was, it was the standard raw fish on rice.

 

[MagicMouse]

Well I tried it once at a very good restaurant and heres what I have to say.

Seaweed = NASTY

Raw fish = OMFG WEIRD

Ginger Spice = I actually think that 1 gram of this would burn the flavor of it into my mouth for a year, and thats BAD.

I prefer my fish like this: A nice small mouth bass fillet caught fresh from my lake, cooked on a STICK over a nice smoky Hickory fire with some lemon juice squeezed on it.

But obviously thats just me.

Sushi is fucking awesome!

Seriously, I refuse to date anyone who doesn't eat sushi.

Current favorite is called popcorn lobster sushi. It's tempura lobster, on a spicy tuna roll, with some damn good sauce which I don't know the name of.

Oh my God that looks so good. None of the sushi restaurants where I live serve that. I wanna move to your neighborhood.

I live in California, in a town that has a rather large asian population. In fact, there were more asians at my highschool than there were whites.

Because of this, we have AMAZING sushi, and damn good Korean BBQ.

Dammit, I live in New York, in a town with more Jews than non Jews, so all we have is good Chinese food.

 

[The DSM]

Had it once, I like it as love all seafood except oyster.

 

[Jenkins]

so far the only type of sushi I wont cram down my face is SALMON EGGS

that crap is so disgusting.

everything else tho, i cram it down my faceholes!

 

[Spiner909]

I refuse to touch it. You actually eat it voluntarily?

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

I do adore Sushi, wish I had some right now, but beef Roast will have to do.

 

[Daffy F]

I have no opinion one way or the other. it's just fish.

 

[Daffy F]

Shit, sorry for the double post.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

I have nothing against raw fish. In fact, raw spiced salmon (rawpickled salmon?) is one of my favourite foods.

But sushi... the fillings/spices just do not seem to agree with me. Not bad as such, but not a favourite of mine either.

Exactly the same thing for me. I don't mind raw fish, but I don't like most types of sushi.

[NeutralDrow]

It's probably far too late to bring this up, but...

Sushi for people who hate seafood

Inari. Fried tofu and rice.

Kappa maki. Cucumber, rice, and nori.

Tamagozushi. Egg and rice.

Otaku-Swagga, can you stop posting the same thing over and over? No need to keep correcting people.

With that out of the way, I find sushi and sashimi very delicious. The texture of raw tuna sashimi is beautiful. With a bit of pickled ginger (love that stuff), it is so damn perfect. Sushi rolls are great on hot days, good cheap and filling food.

That being said, I try not to get sashimi from places I don't know, unless it's a very popular place (tends to be safer). Same with sushi rolls.

 

[Asturiel]

Sushi... *shivers*
I do not eat fish. I never eat fish.
I feel sick when I even get in close proximity with seafood...
The smell... the look... everything about it seems to make me feel sick...
I'll leave it to the people who like it

Try deepfried sweet potato sushi...it will blow your mind. And its not seafood so win win right?

As a vegetarian, I do not eat it.

Vegetarian sushi is vegetarian...

For the most part Sushi is just rice and something else. Alot of the time the fish is cooked. You guys are thinking of sashimi shits gross.

I'm not a fan of fish in general, so raw fish is definitely a NO.

Care to try vegtable or meat sushi then good friend?

The eggs are amazing, they add to the texture sooooooooo well. Guess it just your shtick which is ok.
