Tried it for the first time and I tell you I am hooked,.
The flavors and textures were fantastic, like nothing I could have ever imagined. The the pickled ginger and wasabi served with each roll was excellent also. Japanese beer is very good also, I believe I drank both Kirin and Sapporo and preferred the Kirin. |

Great stuff. I make it at home sometimes. +1 If you have access to sushi grade seafood, it is the way to go. So much cheaper than eating out at a sushi place. Just make sure you prepare the rice correctly, it's different than just plain white rice. You can find the recipe online. |

Here in Los Angeles, we have a myriad of those places. In many places, there are "all you can eat" places, you just scarf up.
If you go to real sushi bar, part of the experience of eating sushi is watching the sushi chef prepare the food. If you really don't care for that kind of stuff, and its off to the local Japnaese resturant. |

One of my faves 0ldGuy! Try a Dragon Roll (tempura shrimp, avocado, roe, cucumber with eel over the top) or a Spider roll.. similar to Dragon roll but with tempura soft shell crab. I like straight up albacore tuna or salmon too. Raw as can be. Shrimp, eel and crab are not kosher. The synagogue hired the Sushi chefs and the Rabbi supervised all preparations. |

Yanagi ba is the most common type of knife. There are other specialty blades (for fugu preparation and another for cutting larger pieces of fish), but this is the most common. Quoted: I recently had my introduction to it via seared tuna. Awesome. Now I need to go out and buy a new knife just for properly slicing it up into paper thin slices. What's the name of the proper kind of sushi knife? CJ |

I can eat more than you can afford to buy  You know that is what struck me as odd. I can eat an obscene amount of food but after some tempura vegetables, one roll and a few pieces from another I was stuffed. Perhaps it was the beer, the bottles were huge. |

What's the name of the proper kind of sushi knife? CJ Sashimi Knife You can get it done with a quality standard slicing knife though. I use a Henckels carving knife and get a decent result. The main thing is that its thin and sharp. |
They call that "bait" where I come from. 
Why I don't eat sushi: I saw some guy on the tube a few years ago, he made sushi at home. He later developed severe abdominal pains, and was taken to the hospital. They cut him open, expecting to do an emergency appendectomy, and some big nematode worms crawled out of him.

Neither is Tako, Uni, Hokkigai, Awabi, Ika or Mirugai. All of this is good stuff but lacks fins and scales. How does the Rebbi feel about Flying Fish roe? Sushi is awesome. You can dig it and still stay kosher. Fortunately, most Asian cuisine is devoid of dairy. |

Welcome to the cult of the raw fish. I can't get enough of it.

Never had it, As long as I dont get Salmonella Fitzgerald I would try it though. Honestly in the 12+ years I have been eating Sushi, I have never been sick from it. That is compared to the multiple times I have gotten food poisoning and had explosive diarrhea, and the two trips to the emergency room to have IV's of fluid to make up for what I had lost being so sick I thought I was dieing. And this was from "normal" cooked food that we are all comfortable eating. Sushi has never gotten me sick. |

I like straight up albacore tuna or salmon too. Raw as can be. Those rolls aren't sushi. Go ask a jap if they like dragon rolls and wait for the confused look. Bunch of different types of tuna and they are all good, as is salmon. Japanese beer is nothing special, but the best one is Yebisu, everything else is just like a all the tunas anddomestic lager. And as stated before stay away from take out or buffet types, they wont be very good. A good sushi place in the states wont be cheap, but when eating raw fish you dont want the cheapest you can find, huge difference in flavor. |

Sushi is awesome. Don't get take out sushi, and don't go to all-u-can-eat sushi joints. I caught a tuna on a charter boat two years ago.... first thing I did was eat a whole bunch of it raw...it was EXCELLENT. They don't have anything but all you can eat here. Still very good shit... |
