Yesterday, some girlfriends and I took H out for a belated birthday celebration. We went to Half Price Sushi, where during the longest happy hour ever, from 4:30 - 9:30, most of the sushi and all of the beer and saki is half price.
I ordered salmon sashimi and a spicy yellowtail handroll. H ordered the same. C only eats cooked rolls. S enjoys cut rolls and K will eat anything.
Sushi is a funny thing like that. Some people freak over the idea of eating raw fish. Some people love it. Others will only eat certain kinds.
How do you feel about sushi?

Sorry I didn't make it out with you ladies last night... thank you H for the invite! M and I had my belated-birthday dinner planned too - which was postponed due to my overwhelming amount of work. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, back to the question of the day - I LOVE SUSHI MORE THAN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE! When I get to choose a cuisine for a special occasion, its always sushi. It's my favorite. But yes, I do have the "never gonna try it" list. Some things just aren't for my taste buds, you know?
Catch it, clean it, COOK IT!
ReplyDeleteMy first experience with sushi was on a date. My gentleman caller (what?!) had spent a few years living in Japan. I don't know what he ordered but it wasn't any sort of roll. It was just raw slivers of fish. I thought, what the heck, I'll try it. OMG...I can still feel it wiggle down my throat. Since then I'm sushiphobic.
ReplyDeleteUm, do you have an address for this half-price sushi place? Because yes, I love sushi, and I'm not snobby about it. Yellowtail, California rolls, and volcano rolls are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHold the sushi! Sorry ... for me it's a 'no thank you'! My hubby would have a completely different answer! :-)
ReplyDeleteYum, Yum, Y-U-M!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI am Asian. I know not every Asian is made the same but there is just something so delectable about sushi that to love it makes me feel like I'm shaming my Asian culture. Not to mention it tastes like heaven!!
ReplyDeleteMy absolute FAVORITE roll [oh just thinking about it made my mouth water!!] is called the Sunrise Roll. It has advacado, crab mix, other goodies on the inside wrapped snuggley with sea weed and rice with raw salmon and *drum roll please* super thinly sliced lemons (with the skin) on top. Holy cow. That seriously has my mouth watering. I need to go get that ASAP before my mouth throws a fit at me!!
LOVE sushi, sashimi and maki!! my fave is spicy salmon roll!
ReplyDeleteI only eat the rice rolls. My husband loves it!
ReplyDeleteI used to like the California ones, but now I don't like those for some reason. I'm weird.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE sushi. Bring it on! Any kind at all. :D
ReplyDeleteI love it but I have to have some hot sauce to go on it. I like raw tuna.
ReplyDeleteWe love sushi and japanese food. Those on display are mouth- watering enough!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I used to love sushi but these days, will eat only a few types. Think my tastes have changed with age as I also can't stand the smell of uncooked chicken! Yuk!
ReplyDeleteI only eat the vegetable rolls, I hate seafood. Not a very good New England girl.
ReplyDeleteI have tried raw sushi once and it didn't work out for me. We have restaurants serving cooked sushi as alternative now. I really love Japanese food as long they are not raw.
