Had a bad craving for it this weekend. Got some spicy tuna, spicy scallion and unagi sashimi. Loved it!

    Yum! I LOVE sushi, but it's something of a splurge.

    I could easily spend $60 just on little old me.

    I've done that before. I'd say it was horrible to spend that much but it's so worth it. Only downfall is I'm allergic to sesame so it's hard to find a place that actually listens when I say no sesame. Have one now tho I love this place.

    Well sushi can actually be very good for you. I pushed it yesterday with 2 spicy rolls which are not low in calories due to the mayo. But sashimi is always a low calorie option, and a lot of plain rolls (fish, avacado/cucumber, rice) are about 150 calories like a regular tuna roll. Also miso soup is very good for you.

    I love sushi, too! If you pick the less fatty fish and go for sashimi, not sushi, it can help. Sometimes half the calories are in the rice. As a rule, chewy stuff (octopus, etc.) is lower in calories than the meaty stuff (salmon, yellowtail). Granted, eating all octopus doesn't really cut it!

    I tried it for the first time at the start of this month! The more I ate it though, the worst it tasted for me >.<

    That's because you're a lemon poppy seed muffin with a bag over your head. Do muffins have taste buds?

    That is a good point! I never thought the bag over my head & not having taste buds would effect it :P

    i tried it for the first time a few years ago and fell in love with it. Sadly a year ago I developed an allergy to sesame (which sushi rolls are covered in) so was turned away from it for a bit but now just order it without sesame.

    Don't know of any sushi places in Rotten Groton though.

    As a cat, of course I love sushi! I can't make it myself, as I have no thumbs!
    I haven't found a calorie source for my favorites. I found a website the had 8 or 10 most popular rolls, but restaurants offer dozens of varieties. I just make my best estimate and enjoy! :love:

    Good to see a cat up and about on a Monday morning. My rule of thumb is: Any Chef specialty rolls (too many calories), simple rolls (good for you :) )

    I do! But I dont have any sushi eating buddies out here so I never have it. Picked some up at the market that was supposed to be "fresh" and uh.... no way! I save it for when I go home and then have a massive sushi date with my friends. yum!
