Meeting up with a few friends tonight for Sushi. I rarely eat Sushi and when I do, I get the California Roll because I'm skeptical on eating sushi, but I love love seafood...weird.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to get that isn't a ton of calories, sodium packed, or carb heavy?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!!

    If you are brave enough (which I'm not sure you are cuz you said you only get the california roll...), but I have been getting sashimi. It's just the raw fish. No mayo, or deep fry, or rice to worry about. I eat it with ginger and also get some miso soup. Happy eating!

    Agreed - sashimi is the way to go -- super healthy and very very very low calorie.

    Sashimi is the best choice

    white fish will have less calories than tuna / salmon.

    miso, seewead salad, edamame

    I would not say sashimi is very very low calorie. Salmon, swordfish, tuna..... are all quite high calorie meat. They are also very healthy for you, just not low calorie

    Spider Sushi which is Soft Shell Crab with Avocado and Cucumber.
    Sashimi is also very good
    Shumai, Steamed Shrimp Dumplings are Awesome
    Kani-Su is a cucumber roll with crab inside. Havent tried yet but looks and sounds yummy
    Seaweed Salad is good
    Spicy Tuna Rolls are Delish
    I love Sushi! Good Luck!

    Some sushi places offer all sorts of nice side dishes that are carb friendly - seaweeds salads and such. The place by us serves a tuna and avocado salad that is delish! I love sushi and find it fits in easily to my daily calorie allotment. I tend to like more straight forward rolls - spicy tuna, salmon, whitefish or eel, the spicier the better. I think people think it can be carb heavy because of the rice, but there is so little of it in most really good sushi rolls. If you want to avoid rice altogether, sashimi is the way to go.

    Some places will offer sushi rolls made with brown rice which also may be a healthier option.

    Oh yeah...usually the reduced sodium soy sauce is right there on the table next to the regular stuff. If it isn't definitely ask if they offer it.

    Thank you all!! I'm going to see about the sashimi and if I cannot make the commitment, I'll figure something out. Either side salad, edamame, or some kind of brown rice-NOTHING fried or with mayo.

    Oh yeah, I always use reduced sodium soy sauce...but going to try to stay away from that tonight all together. *Fingers crossed*
    Thank you! :)

    I find the vegetarian rolls yummy. Not high in calories. I also get a small maki cucumber roll to eat with wasabi. The heat curbs the appetite and makes you feel like you ate something.
    Oh, and lots of hot tea. Filling, and 0 cals
