Do you eat it? What's your favorite kind?

I like California Roll, Boston Roll & Chesapeake Roll. I have NOT build up the courage to eat raw food yet, but I am open to try it. Any ideas on the first raw sushi I should try?

    There is nothing i don't like with sushi lol

    My all time favorite was one I created as a chef special at a restaurant

    Salmon, Avocado, Ikura (Large Salmon Roe) and Tobiko. It is so good by itself I didn't need a sauce but they drizzled a little unagi sauce and chili on it which made it that much better

    Cooked or Vegetables:
    Sweet Potato Rolls with tempura

    Raw - general newbie rolls
    Spicy Rolls (Tuna is my favorite but other fish can be inserted here)
    Spicy Garlic Rolls

    It really depends on where I'm at but I love Sushi, I typically make my own as well.

    SUSHI FTW!!!!!!

    I could probably eat Sushi every day.

    Many years ago there was a sushi place my friend and I would frequent, we knew the chef and he would create new rolls for us to try. There was one he made called the Tiger Roll and it was to DIE FOR!!! YUM


    Thanks, now I want sushi!

    I like sashimi (raw fish with nothing on it). My favorites are Toro, Salmon, and Tuna.

    Toro is the white part of a tuna fish. It's super buttery. I imagine that this is what the meat would taste like if tuna were to mate and reproduce with avocados and have albino offspring.

    Lol, I am a beginner at eating it. I can't stomach the thought of raw food, but as I was sitting at the rotating bar for lunch, it all look so good! I am not sure of what my first raw experience should be lol.

    There are a few rolls that are not raw. Look for those. Cooked eel, crab, shrimp tempura or veggie rolls.

    I eat the cooked rolls. I like the california roll (imitation crab meat,celery & avocado), boston roll (cooked shrimp,celery & avocado) and Chesapeake roll which has real crab meat and fried shrimp. I am loving the different varieties they have with sushi. I am glad that I started eating it.

    I will nom ALL THE SUSHI! Seriously, we go to the buffet and the only thing I won't eat is the egg. Because apparently I love raw fish but can't stomach sweet egg? Favorite is straight up raw salmon (and the less rice the better) and anything spicy, but rolls that have been tempura'd or baked with cream cheese in/on them......omg......::drool::

    Love sashimi, sushi and unagi.

    But I'm not a fan of the California rolls. At all. All that cream cheese and stuff isn't Japanese food.

    I fought trying sushi forever. Probably only been a year since I ate it at all. But I also was like you. Only cooked stuff for me please. But then I finally decided I had to at least try it. Oh My God..... YUMMMM.

    My faves really are the tuna and avocado roll or also salmon and avocado. I will eat sashimi as well but I think rolls are much tastier imo lol

    Just had it for dinner last night. California roll, shrimp sushi, tuna sashimi and salmon sashimi. Will probably go back on Friday or Saturday for dinner. Anyone want to join me?

    Having some for lunch today - love it! Start with something simple. Since you haven't had raw before try a roll that has some raw fish inside or a piece of Nigiri - a piece of raw fish on rice. Salmon is safe as well as tuna - not fishy. Once you start, you won't stop! Enjoy!

    Cucumber hosomaki, avocado hosomaki, red pepper hosomaki, filled bean curd skins.

    Before becoming a vegan I'd pretty much eat any sushi, I lived in Taiwan so sushi was plentiful.

    Enjoy experimenting!

    UPDATE: I tried the RAW sushi for the first and last time last week. I am not sure if it's a mind thing or what, but raw sushi is not for me. However, today I will be having some cooked sushi for lunch YUM :smile:

    I LOVE sushi. My fav is unagi ( eel) As long as theres eel, Im so happy. I NEVER used to like tuna, UNTIL I discover Kai Lana omg. They do a lunch special with a soup salad, rice, roll of your choice ( two) and 5 peices of sashmi. So good. Its salmon, himachi, tuna, and two other peices cant remember what but it was amazing. Freshest sushi EVER!
