My first WestPac deployment and one of my pilots who is half Japanese(his dad a retired Master Chief and met his mom there) introduced me to it several years ago. On Westpacs I do not eat western food. Sushi is a fine and healthy diet. After several months of it you would be amazed how well you feel.. Then you come home and eat american shit and you about die.

Sushi is great.
Funny thing is, that is can cost a pretty penny when you go out, but is super cheap if you make it yourself. |

If I could afford to, I'd eat it five or six times a week.
I have made my own maki rolls, and they are decent but not as good as from a sushi bar. I can't get the texture of the rice just right, or I use too much. I need more practice.

Raw fish I'm not keen on, but the nori (seaweed on the outside) is what gets me. Fucking gagworthy.
And YES, I am aware they make sushi without the nori on the outside, but I can pretty much only eat it if it's tempura fried. Shame, because I love Japanese cuisine. Wish I could appreciate all aspects of it. |

So is it plain raw fish or do they do something to it before you eat it? Anyone tried raw bass or blue gill?

I lived and worked in Japan for a while a few years ago. I LOVE sushi -- both nori and nigiri. At one grocery store they had like an open deli case of fresh made nori sushi ( sushi rolls ). The small diameter rolls (usually 1 single filling like tuna or cuke) were 100 yen ( about $1 ) The large diameter rolls had 2 to 3 fillings were 200 yen. 1 or 2 rolls was a nice lunch or dinner. In that area of Japan they didn't have ( or at least I never saw ) the fancy rolls like they make here. Damn now I am hungery.

Yes, I have eaten raw largemouth bass...not bad. Fresh is best. Most sashimi grade fish has been frozen but you can find some fresh. I grew up with a Japanese neighbor. Since she was elderly and I was a child laborer (no "allowance", I worked for all money and did the parent's yard in exchange for use of the equipment). So she frequently fixed Japanese food...and sashimi was one of the treats. She didn't do any American-style rolls but plain maki/temaki. And when it snowed and I shoveled her walk/patio cover, she made these AWESOME rolls and served them with hot green tea! I turned down NOTHING...including tako! |

Thats because the fish is cryogenically frozen immediately after being caught, then shipped all over the world. It could be weeks or months before it finally is served. |

You can get sashimi quality fish, fresh, if you know the right people.  It may cost you, but it's entirely possible. I've had fish flown in from Austrailia that I've eaten raw, that was swimming less than 24 hours before.

I wouldn't do that since freshwater fish can contain parasites that can be transmitted to you. Salt water fish may also have parasites but they don't infect very easily, plus most sushi grade fish is flash frozen which will kill off most parasites anyway. |

Depending on how the fish was handled, that may not be any better since fish can go bad really quick. I'd imagine that fish that they went with the expense of air freighting are probably handled quite well though. Uni (sea urchin) cannot be cyrogenically frozen because it destroys the texture and flavor, so it has to be air freighted. For the ultimate in freshness, freshly caught fish are cooled down to just above the freezing temp, then stored in a small bath of water while air freighted to their destination. Upon arrival, they are revived, prepared, then served. It doesn't get any fresher than that, unless you are on the fishing boat

Languages are funny like that. If we were speaking Japanese, I'd agree with you. In common English language parlance, Sushi refers to the rice with fish (some varieties even cooked), and sashimi the fish by itself. By itself, I have always heard the rice called "Sushi rice." I assure you, there are plenty more similar cultural , language transgressions that have occurred over the years, and that will occur again. Just look at those abominations we call "Tacos" in most of the US. EDITED TO ADD: FWIW, I am a Nigiri Sushi guy myself, never really dug the rolls. I'll take some much less expensive Korean Kim Bap if I want to eat a roll of seaweed with rice. |

Not knocking anything. Just trying to explain why it doesn't matter where a sushi restaurant is, but rather the skill of the sushi chef and their attention to quality. BTW, cryogenically frozen is about as close to fresh out of the water that you can reasonably get. |

Hmm... not sure. I'll see if I can find out. I just realised that this could have been misinterpreted. When I said no fish, I meant that it's still sushi even if it's the vegetarian styles. The other widely used meaning of sushi that I see is pretty much any type of rolled rice and seaweed with some sort of filling. Even the stuff I 've seen made with Spam was being called sushi. |
