My sushi eating co-workers forced me to go to this place...kicking & screaming! *lol* I don't do raw fish, seaweed or anything remotely related, but I went anyway because there are several other nearby spots I could've gone to alone, if necessary.
Long story short, I didn't try sushi, but I did have the Japanese Teriyaki Chicken Wings - Yumm!
I had to EASE my way into Sushi. I tried ALL of their cooked pieces and rolls. Not so bad. Got my tongue accustomed to the pickled ginger and wasabi. After a while, I knew which raw pieces/rolls I liked and didn't like. I can now do the raw pink tuna, but not the raw salmon or mackeral (hell, I can't stand mackeral COOKED!)
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely an acquired taste and there's only like 1 or 2 sushi places I'm willing to eat from. A bad piece of fish can kill you (or make you feel like you WANNA die!) LOL!!!
My favorites are the pieces with steamed shrimp and the soft-shell crab roll. Notice both of those are COOKED items! :-)
RAW food (period) + Subira= NEGATIVE CHIEF!!!
ReplyDeleteAND I'm not a seafood person EITHER?!!! Not going to happen...
Unlike Lusindah I feel into the sushi (sashimi style) hard and head first. I love me some spicy salmon rolls, soft shelled crab rolls, spicy tuna and salmon with roe, and yellow tail with wasabi and eel.
ReplyDeleteI tried to get my family into it but they aren't going for that raw stuff so they just take to the California and Philly rolls ( you know avocado, cucumbers, cream cheese stuff).
I get these "Surimi Rolls" (I think that's what they are called) from Sam's Club. I don't even know what kinds of fish is in it, but there are no veggies or creams. I unroll it to remove the seaweed and roll it back up. *lol* I'm good with the cooked center, rice, sesame seeds & soy sauce.
ReplyDelete2 of my co-workers had flash-fried Philly rolls.
ReplyDeleteFish sucks
ReplyDeleteSushi is good!
ReplyDeleteThere's not much you frown on, is it Doc?
ReplyDeleteI tried sushi once or maybe twice (i think).... but I dont like it... I know somehow the raw fish must be safe since so many ppl eat it... But I just got a thing about things not being cooked...
ReplyDeleteFor the MOST part sushi is safe. But you have to be careful where you get it. I wouldn't buy it in some marketplaces. There is a sushi place in Union Station in DC that I don't go anywhere NEAR! Never heard of a problem there, but it just seems, *ugh, no* to me.
ReplyDeleteThere is only really one place in MD where I get sushi, Sushi King in Columbia...a really nice restaurant that has been in business for well over a decade. They have a stellar reputation and incredibly good food, to include a whole menu chock full of non-sushi items. I trust them.
I'm not big on sushi either and everytime I tell a sushi lover that they always say...not all sushi is raw. Ok..Ok..I get it! But I'm still not running to the next restaurant to have some!
ReplyDeleteThis place is right across from Culpeppers. Get the wings to go!
ReplyDeleteI'm just easing my way into sushi.. I like it.
ReplyDeleteIs that sorta like not being able to eat chinese food from all chinese restaurants...lol Now I've had raw salmon..but it was in a relatively small and thin slice so it wasnt much to think I was gonna die from it... and I do like salmon (cooked)... but naw... I like cooked foods...
ReplyDeleteDang... And I had found this really great Sushi Bar in Chicago.... *crossing that off the list* lol
ReplyDeleteI know exactly where it is! I will have to check it out 'cause I LOVES me some wangs! The last time I was in the area, The Drunken fish was having one hell of a party! I was shocked!
ReplyDeleteYou stop it! I told you what I like!
ReplyDeletelmao... Just having some pre-weekend fun... I should take off tomorrow and friday... Mental preparation... Im just making up any excuse I can not to go to work...lol
