Who likes sushi?

[DFWJC]

Assuming its great quality, then love it!

 

[a_minimalist]

Wow I didn't know that. :laugh1:

:laugh2: Well now you do. It's a common mistake though.

 

[AbeBeta]

Thats not sushi

Actually it is. Sushi refers to the rice, not what is on it or wrapped in it

 

[JonJon]

Like minimalist said, sushi is Japanese food. But I like Chinese food, too. However, please... and I'm asking you politely... please never speak in a denigrating fashion about Mexican food — particularly tacos — in my 'public forum' presence... as if it's a lesser cuisine choice. Perish the thought.

I love me some tacos, CLF, can ya tell? Even baja-style fish tacos. :laugh2:

Thank you sir. Mexican is probably my favorite all time. Just had some yesterday. But I just love food all together. I'm a fat man trapped in a skinny mans body.

LOVE sushi.

I was like some posters here, though, in that for a long time I wouldn't touch it, but then my wife convinced me to give it a try (she's done this with a lot of food and drinks). OMG...it's wonderful. And yes, I do favor the raw tuna or salmon rolls and tuna nigiri. The cooked seafood in sushi is, well, to me, kinda blah.

I go out for sushi when I can because it's best when made by a trained chef, but I've learned to make it myself, and I can get pretty close to that quality depending on the quality of the fish I can get.

As for any fears in eating raw fish, the risk of contracting a parasite or worm is pretty much zero if the fish is frozen first and comes from a fish farm and raised specifically for eating. Freezing the fish kills off any parasites that may be present.

The term sushi comes from an archaic grammatical form no longer used in other contexts; literally, sushi means "sour-tasting", a reflection of its historic fermented roots.

 

[EGTuna]

That looks so money. Seared tuna with a little soy and wasabe is the bomb.

Sushi=Yum.

The Sashimi platter at Tachibana in McLean, VA is reeeeeee-donkulous.

I would stay away from "all you can eat" sushi joints as those typically aren't as fresh. And as one poster recommended above, look for places where there are a lot of Asians dining.

Or Yelp.com is good too for recs.

Nothing turns my stomach quicker than to cut in to a steak and it bleeds all over the place.

Oh my lord.....the blood leakage is the best part.

To each there own but I'm not a vampire so I don't like blood :laugh1:

I'm with you. I like a little blood with my steak.

That's just nasty. If it bleeds it gets sent back.

The juices in a steak and other types of beef is not blood. The blood is removed during the slaughtering process.

The juices you see are a mixture of water, which beef has a lot of, and myoglobin, which is a protein that stores oxygen in muscle cells. It is harmless. In fact, myoglobin is what gives meat its red color, not blood. This is why, say pork, can be more white in color, because that animal has less myoglobin than a cow.

You are spending a ton of time on Wikipedia today, huh?

You can say that until you are blue in the face but it will never change my mind on how I prefer my steaks cooked. It's blood as far as I'm concerned and I don't want to see it running out of my steak.

 

[RastaRocket]

Anything with the raw tuna is my favorite kind.

I went sea kayaking a few years ago off the Oregon Coast. We caught Rockfish and made our own sashimi that night while camping in a yurt on the beach. It was so fresh it was still gilling when I sliced it.

Ok thanks but I still don't like seeing it running out of my steak

 

[RastaRocket]

Also, sushi has been frozen or flash frozen. Extreme low temps will kill all bacteria, making the meat safe. You basically cook it by freezing off the bad stuff.

This sounds absolutely amazing! I am very jealous of you right now!

I went se kayaking one time in Mexico. I managed to lose a nice pair of goggles on the bottom of the ocean, and flip the kayak about 10 times. I'm not sure I could handle fishing.

It was not my natural talent.


So, has anybody seen the documentary yet? I have seen the beginning of it now and I must say it is very interesting. I have to finish it later though.

I can't find a good quality version to download. I'm a snob when it comes to picture quality. It comes out on blu ray within the next 2-3 weeks though.
