Meee toooo!!! And tuna rolls and tuna nigiri better than salmon. I can't do wasabi though - leave it out, thank you very much! I don't do spicy of any kind. Get even a hint of wasabi and I'm rubbing my tongue with my napkin - icky!

if it's good sushi... you don't need wasabi! cause the sushi has soooo much flavour on it's own ;)

aaagh. I'm going to have to make a run to the local Japanese restaurant here to get some killer sushi soon :( I love sushi.

Is sushi pretty expensive? I may try and find some sushi around here for dinner now

Sushi's pretty reasonable.

So, we need to do some recon NOW for Daytona this summer - someone needs to find the best sushi place around down there and all the sushi lovers can meet up for dinner! Yummmmm!

Herp shows and sushi....What could be better?

Saba (pickled mackeral) is good, but it needs to be quality and cut properly - and you sorta have to like pickled fish.

Masago (flying fish roe) is tasty. I used to get masago sushi on it's own, but I like it sprinkled on other things more now.

Ikura (salmon roe) when it's not too old is pretty good - I usually get it with a quail yoke. However, freshly made ikura (fresh caught salmon carrying eggs which are then pickled into ikura) - now THAT's heaven.

Uni (sea urchin) I used to love all the time, but now I'm spoiled and will only eat live uni, which has a fresher, brinier taste. The texture is even more delicate - nummy. Although my local sushi place does do a lovely uni tempura roll with regular uni that's quite nice.

You guys can keep ika (squid) and tako (octopus) sushi. Yech.

I only want salmon if it's wild caught; my current favorite is from Copper River, Alaska. I only want tuna if it's fresh blue fin; otherwise, meh.

I also really like kohada, which is some other Japanese pickled fish - nummers.

And I think you can judge a sushi place based on it's spicy tuna cut roll - how well they roll, the quality of the tuna scraps and what they use for spicy sauce. It's like diners and coffee - if a diner can't do good coffee, it won't be in business long.

My favorites, however, are hamachi (yellowtail tuna) and spicy scallop hand rolls - the latter I think is the world's most perfect food. =)

I should have avoided this thread. I love sushi and there are some great sushi bars around here, making me want to run out and get some lol.
