    *Nom nom nom*
    I have sushi at least once a week, there are two sushi places within walking distance from my house, plus my uni sells sushi as well (but it's not all that hot), and there are sushi trains and japanese sushi restaurants within walking distance. Sushi is far more common then burger joints here....
    I didn't even realise sushi train or sushi might be uncommon in some areas. xD

    I'm a pretty adventurous eater, so of course I LOVE sushi! I could eat it every day, if not for the price tag and mercury poisoning.

    Favorite rolls:
    Spicy Tuna, Philly, Spider (I know, the last two aren't that great for you, but they're SO good!)

    Favorite nigri:
    SALMON (all time favorite), Yellow Tail, Unagi

    I always try something new when I go out for sushi and always end up loving it.
  • Ok...so since we are on the topic of sushi...please help me!

    My sister loves sushi...I have not really eaten sushi before.

    I'm not keen on the idea of eating raw fish. I like ceviche (I think that's how it's spelled) which is raw fish, but it's cooked really because of all the lime juice.

    So what is a sushi that I could start with that is that is good for a beginner that doesn't really like much rice in general or raw fish. I need something very healthy and love in carbs. I'm on a low carb diet (not officially, but I like to keep my carbs less than 50 per day if possible). I like very flavorful things, however, do not like strong fish. I like shrimp, scallops, and white fishes (not too fishy). I like tuna and some salmon as well. I love wasabi and ginger so I know I'm good in that area.

    Let me know if you all have any ideas.

    Thanks my friends!

    Unagi (BBQ eel) is my favorite. Though I'm also a big fan of the crunch roll my local sushi place does. It's an avocado, cucumber, crab salad and tuna roll with tempura crumble on top covered in eel sauce. Yum!

    @Telli: If you're not a fan of raw fish, you may want to try cooked sushi first. Eel, shrimp and clam are always served cooked. You mat also want to try a roll (known as a maki, which has less rice) with some fish you know you like. Most rolls have tuna or salmon, so finding a fish you like shouldn't be too hard. You also may want to try a roll with mild fish (red snapper, halibut, tuna, etc) to get you started instead of going to a more fishy fish like mackerel.

    Hope that helps! :)

    I love sushi. :-D

    My favourite is sashimi, either tuna or salmon.

    I've started making my own sushi at home, but have only made cooked / vegetarian versions of nigiri and nori rolls.

    Love Sushi! Haven't met a roll I didn't like:O) Also addicted to the Seaweed Salad and Miso soup. When I go out, instead of ordering several different rolls and stuffing myself, I pick 1 roll and my partner picks out a different roll and we split them. I start with a seaweed salad and soup. It works out really well.

  • LOVE sushi. Use to eat it all, then recently I got freaked out that eels are basically sea snakes (I'm an idiot) and couldnt eat it anymore. My favourite is salmon and avocado.

    Sushi has to be my favorite food there is! I like it all. I love the sushi with cream cheese, it's my weakness.
  • I'm in love with the Unagi at my local sushi bar. I can't stand it with cream cheese, though!

    Salmon, tuna etc... but eel has to be my favorite.

    Yes, most except for squid/octopi - too chewy/no flavor. Picked up a dragon roll from the local co-op for lunch! Love freaking out my co-workers....

    If it wasn't so blasted expensive (at least for a student like myself) I'd eat it every day! Chirashi bowls are my favorite, basically sashimi on a bed of vinegared rice, so like a whole plate of sashimi with rice to spare, plus seaweed salad and sometimes other veggies for ruffage.

    I love sushi ...!!! I used to eat it regularly with a friend of mine. She and I would go for sushi about once a month. She found a buffet that has sushi too and it is real reasonable. Then, I signed back up with MFP and I haven't had sushi since. Plus, I found out that sushi has a lot of carbs with the rice in it and that's not good for my diabetes. But, I do love it. But, I'm being good these days.
