Do You Like Sushi?

Poll question: Do You Like Sushi?

[flamingyouth]

1. I love sushi

Been eating it since I was a little kid. :9

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. If the fish is fresh, and it's prepared by a skilled chef? Yes.

If not? There is nothing in this world worse than bad sushi.

[Jack_Dawson]

3. Where do you live?

I've never had bad sushi (California).

[flamingyouth]

I haven't either

I live in Seattle - but Hedges is in the midwest.

[miss_kitty]

24. Musashi? damn this thread-I'd kill for a trip to Musashi right now

but they are closed on Monday. :cry:

[flamingyouth]

43. That's one great place

Used to eat there in high school - we'd drive up there as fast as we could during lunch and get our sushi fix. :9

Shiro's is another good place, as is Chinoise; I like the one on MLK and Madison; Jae, their sushi chef, went to the Culinary Institute of America and is a great guy.

7. Wisconsin.

You want to make sure it arrives on a direct flight, aboard a nice cold plane. ;)

[Jack_Dawson]

9. Didn't know they HAD sushi in Wisconsin!

Thought it was the land of fat people and cheese :-)

[Magrittes Pipe]

13. Sushi is defined by the rice.

There's no reason not to make a brat & cheese nigri.

16. A Japan Town (Los Angeles) sushi place....

Showed me what happens when sushi goes bad. It was a couple of years before I could enjoy it again. But I eventually recovered.

Good sushi exists in Houston--some traditional, some not so traditional.

4. Only if it's well done

5. Best. Food. Ever.

Got to the point where we just make it at home. Sooo good.

[Jack_Dawson]

10. And it's fresh?

Where do you buy it?

[Worst Username Ever]

20. There is a place on 22nd and Washington in MN.

You can go to any fresh-fish store, you just need to request "sushi grade" and make sure you make it that day. This place is pretty damn authentic, though. Sushi-grade, including what you buy in restaurants, has usually been flash frozen to kill parasites, and then thawed and served.

6. Not a big fish fan as it is.

Definately not a raw fish fan.

Now...if they developed a "cat" based sushi I bet i'd love that. :evilgrin:

[Jack_Dawson]

11. Sushi isn't "fishy" tho...

Not if it's done well...

[DarkPhenyx]

22. I also majored in Biology.

After looking under a microscope that long you tend to cook everything really well.

[tridim]

8. What? No option for "It makes me feel like vomiting"?

Cook the fish and I might eat it. I think people eat sushi because it's hip, but I could be wrong.

[Jack_Dawson]

14. Um...No.

Because it RULES!! Come to California - my treat.

[eyesroll]

17. There are plenty of maki (rolls) made with cooked fish

You can get cooked crab, smoked salmon, lobster...the word "sushi" actually just refers to the rice.

[Bridget Burke]

18. Most of us eat it because we like it!

But perhaps Denver is mountain oyster country.

[eyesroll]

12. Sushi is vital.

I could eat Sushi (and just about any other Japanese food I've tried) every day if it wasn't so damned expensive.

It also was about the only food I could choke down during a bout of depression I had a few years back.

[Robroy]

15. As long as it's deep-fried.

[LDS Jock]

19. haven't tried it.. but hate all seafood

:puke:

[redqueen]

21. I like it

but I prefer sashimi, really.

[miss_kitty]

23. i am not an adventuresome sushi eater

i have my faves and stick to them....nothing ugly or creepy looking

[da_chimperor]

26. So no raw squid?

Or how about sea urchin? Or salmon roe with a raw quail egg on top?

[Jack_Dawson]

28. Ikura w/ Quail Egg is the BEST!!!

LOVE ordering that - it freaks everyone out.

[da_chimperor]

33. So do I

It's great! I get this 'oh my god, will you LOOK at what he's eating' look face from alot of people. Even more so with the Uni.

[Jack_Dawson]

36. Where are you ex-patting?

Love the flag, btw.

[da_chimperor]

39. The Netherlands

Sushi is kinda hard to find over here. My substitute is 'Haring', a raw herring covered in onions. It's great! Oh, and thanks. I like the flag too.

[Jack_Dawson]

40. Do you love it there?

Are there pretty girls? Would I like it? Have you received your absentee ballot? If Bush wins again I might join you.

:toast:

[da_chimperor]

41. It's great

There's lots of pretty girls, and all that bike riding keeps them nice and fit. I'm sure you'd like it. I'm still waiting for my ballot I've only sent it off 10 days ago. Sure, I've got a spare mattress in my apartment :)

[miss_kitty]

35. raw squid-yes

the rest of that-gack...although i won't use the puking emoticon-we're talking about delicacies here....

[da_chimperor]

42. One out of three isn't bad!

Just give it some time. Maybe you'll become more adventurous later in life.

[da_chimperor]

25. I've loved sushi since I was 7!

It's by far my favorite food. Mmmmmmm, damn, i'm getting cravings now :(

[liontamer]

27. YES YES YES!!!

I eat it almost daily. I love it!

[Jack_Dawson]

29. Daily?

You must be loaded! Congratulations.

[liontamer]

30. nope

not loaded, just addicted. I'd sell my tv to keep my sushi habit going

[Jack_Dawson]

31. LOL - Me2

[Bridget Burke]

32. Not all sushi is expensive...

At least one place downtown (Houston) has sushi happy hour--$1.00 a piece. And the rice makes it rather filling.

[Jack_Dawson]

34. $1/piece at Benihana too

Not sure if you have that in H-Town...

[da_chimperor]

37. All you can eat is usually the best deal

for me at least, but i'm like a black hole when it comes to sushi. The problem is finding a good all you can eat place. Alot of them are so-so at best. There's only a few good places i've found that offer it.

[liontamer]

38. well I live in nyc

So sushi isn't that expensive I can get two spicy salmon rolls for about 8 bucks

[sasquatch]

44. Only if it's purely raw and it isn't in a roll

My favorite is Octipus BTW:)

[Jack_Dawson]

45. I'm going tonight!

I cannot WAIT.

:toast:

[bigwillq]

46. I never tried it (nt)

[shingashong]

47. Well...

recently I've been having cravings for some GOOD California rolls, but I haven't had sushi ever (unless it was California rolls). NOt brave enough to try Sashimi either!!!

[Jack_Dawson]

48. You would LOVE it!

I was the same way. Then I tried it and haven't looked back. Try the salmon sashimi.
