Sushi- Love or Hate?

[abbyquack]

So I don't know what it is lately but all I have been craving is sushi sushi sushi!

But anyways, I know some people love it, others hate it, what's your opinion? What keeps your from tasting it or what attracts you to it?

I ask because I have no idea what is so appealing about raw fish! It sounds gross but I love the taste.

revolting, to put it bluntly.

i hate seafood/anything seafood related in general though. its the smell mostly.

i love it. i like the taste (of most types ive tried) but i also love the social aspect, i love that you can eat it and get full/satisfied without feeling like omg im so stuffed i might explode. i dont know, i just find the combinations of flavors to be really good. and most people, once you try it, you fall in love with it! unless you hate fish/seafood or are allergic. and i also hate it when people equate sushi with raw fish. yes, some sushi contains raw fish. some contains cooked fish, some contains no fish! sashimi=raw fish. sushi=all kinds of things.

sushi has become so socially over-rated the past few years. I actually love it (sashimi, maki's, nigiri's all of it!) but there are cooked maki's for those they can't take it. The raw fish used in sushi really doesn't have a fishy aroma - (unless my nostrils aren't working properly). I think it's the thought of being "raw" that grosses ppl out as well as the soft texture. It's not so bad plus it's not as fattening.... =)

i want some right now! agh, my husband and I went on a two in the morning hunt for all the sushi joints in town. We found them all and compared menus and prices, It was a lot of fun!

i absolutely love sushi. my best friend and i go to all you can eat sushi whenever we're both off.

i took my sister to sushi last time i was at her house and she was hesitant because she said the texture was gross. i had kurage rolls (they're made of jellyfish) when we were there and it was excellent. the texture of that was kind of gross...but it tasted good.

I've only tasted the huge chunk of raw fish kind once, hehe (can't remember the name) but I looooooooove California Rolls. Yummy.

Love!!!

I love things that are yummy and healthy.

I really love good sushi and sashimi. I've even helped make it in the past. I also have a soft spot for wasabi

I wont eat fish cooked and I most certainly wont eat it raw.

Anything that swims, lives and breathes in it's own feces is just not cool with me. ICK!

LOVE! I like Spicy Scallop or Shrimp handrolls and all kinds of rolls (especially volcano rolls). I don't eat sashimi alone, but I will eat a sashimi salad every once and awhile.

I can get down with some Wasabi though. I love spicy stuff.

I LOVE it! It took me 3 times trying it. I had to have the inside out rolls as it was the seaweed wrapper that was really holding me back I figured out. Having it inside made it much easier for me to tolerate, now I don't notice it!

My fave is yam tempura maki and a crunchy roll (hard to find a good one of this at other sushi places I've tried).
add some gyoza and I have a drool-worthy meal!

 

[abbyquack]

Yum I'm so glad there are so many sushi lovers here!

I love rolls with tempura, cream cheese and avocado- those are some of my fave toppings! Also, at any sushi restaurants you've been to, have they ever offered a sauce that's kind of mayonnaise-y but orange, like almost chipotle-esque but not quite?? At my favorite place it's called Sumo Sauce but I think it might have a real name. Anyways it's amazing!!

This thread is making me hungry!

We decided to go eat Sushi tonight before picking up my brother in law Zach from the airport. >.< We're driving him from Austin to Ft Hood, he is being sent overseas on Jan 4th.

I love sushi as much as I love MAC..i think lol

 

[candicenoelle]

MMMM! Sushi! Love it! Sashimi's the best! I prefer eating my fish with little rice, so a platter of fresh Sashimi and a small bowl of rice is delish! Add the perfect amount a wasabi and soy sauce and I'm set! =) YUM!

 

[NutMeg]

I love it. With some soy sauce and wasabi... Oh man, I'm having a craving. The texture kind of grossed me out at first, but I got used to it and it tastes so fantastic!

I live in Vancouver, which apparently has more sushi restaurants per capita than anywhere else in the world. This only furthers my addiction.
