Just tried Sashimi for the first time!

Crisp salmon? Wonder how old it must be then.

 

What I meant was that tuna gets chewy sometimes, and salmon doesn't

 

I really like Eel myself. Especially the crispy (cooked) variety. Delicious.

 

ASDA do the same thing now, a fairly large bento for £3, often have one after work. Close as you to get to Jap food round here. Mainly a chinese invasion where I live.

 

ah yes, unagi rolls. Delicious. Shame they're so pricey.

 

I love sushi, but only certain kinds. The Japanese place near my house has something called a "TNT roll" which has salmon, hot sauce, cucumber, and some other stuff. I really like the hot sauce. Other kinds of sushi are okay and I'll eat them, but I LOVE TNT rolls. I realize that it's a very westernized form of sushi, but honestly I don't care.

 

Once again, I think you guys are eating the wrong tuna.

 

1) Avoid "spicy" anything rolls, that what you do with "left overs" i.e. not fresh fish

2) Quality Tuna is like butter in texture

 

Sashimi? Try Basashi!

I'm lovin' it!

 

if you love Salmon try the one we get here in Australia.
way better than anything I tasted in other part of world, except at Tsukiji Market in Tokyo that is... ^ ^

 

I love Sushi/Sashimi, I probably eat it twice a week on average. In fact, I think I'll go get some tonight.

Unfortunately, most of my favorites aren't available at most places. I really like Sanma (Pacific Saury), Ankimo (Monkfish Liver), Saba Oshizushi (pressed mackerel sushi), etc.

There's nothing that really grosses me out per se, but I'm not a huge fan of raw uni. I like it cooked in dishes though, I make a good uni risotto.

It isn't sushi, but I found a little Japanese Grocery nearby that sells frozen Hamachi Kama! (Yellowtail Jaw). Salt heavily and leave in fridge overnight wrapped in sake-soaked cheesecloth, then grill the next day. It's absurdly good, fatty and crispy. These are my own pics:






Raw hamachi is delicious also, of course.

 

Local Japanese grocery store here makes inexpensive sushi bentos everyday.

So what's everyone's favorite and worse?
Favorite - Ikura large salmon roe with raw quail egg in the middle.
Worse - Sea Urchin, literally tastes like the bottom of the ocean.

 

I like a standard futomaki with salmon, lettuce, cucumber and philadelphia cheese.
Also, fried eel nigiri <3
