    oooh its my favourite, so miss good sushi (I live in the UK at the mo so no sushi).
    salmon sashimi is my favourite. miso soup. Just steer clear of any tempura which is fried.

    Where in the UK are you cos we have Yo! Sushi restaurants all over and I am sure that if you look you can find a little independant Sushi bar :)

    As I don't have sushi very often I tend to just order what I like , my favourite is Takoyaki (octopus dumplings) but Tuna sashimi is really yummy too!! I would only have a few dishes with rice and then make up the rest of your meal with raw fish or veggie dishes, not forgetting your miso soup and pickles!

    Sashimi! A bit of miso soup, some gomae aie (spelling) salad, and usually I indulge in ONE tempura shrimp handcone. YUM! Now you have me jonesing for sushi.

    The sushi place we go to will do the Sashimi bowls with bean sprouts instead of the rice and it is really yummy.

    I usually don't worry about sushi! I love sushi and eat in on my cheat days. I like the spicy tuna, spider roll (softshell crab), unagi (eel).

    I say if you're going to eat it....claim this day as a cheat day and order whatever you want, then get back to the program tomorrow.

    I east sushi pretty frequently, although I'm a big fan of the raw stuff. It really depends on how many calories I have left.

    If not a lot, I'll typically order a spicy octopus or spicy tuna salad (and I make sure they make the spicy with chili sauce, not the spicy mayo stuff). You can also add in miso soup, sunomo (cucumber) salad, wakame (seaweed salad) and share some edamame. Like others said - some sashimi too.

    If I have a lot of calories left, I will still order a salad, and then one raw roll with raw fish on top - maybe some veggies inside. One of these rolls has between 500-750 calories depending on the size (each sushi restaurant is different - a raw roll will raw fish on top which is smaller and about 8 pieces will be closer to 500 - but a lot of restaurants make these rolls bigger, so it's closer to 750). I also find that splitting one of these and ordering a raw fish salad and some soup or seaweed salad is a good calorie saver.

    Mehhh.. depends on whether or not I'm worried about calories at that moment.

    My top choices though are the..

    -california rolls
    -eel and avacado
    -spider roll

    There are more, but I don't remember their names.. just that they are 'gasms to the tastebuds.

    I'm having an early sushi dinner tonight so I would like to know what others eat when you have sushi.

    I'm skipping breakfast and having a very light fruit lunch so I'm not too worried about it but still curious :)

    Thanks!! :)

    Lots of Sashimi and veggie rolls.

    Why are you skipping meals? Sushi is only high in calories if you eat fried or heavy sauces.

    I love pretty much any maki (roll) with tuna, eel, salmon and/or avocado and cucumber. One place I go to has a crunchy salmon roll that's to die for! It comes with tempura and salmon roe. YUM!

    I'm actually having some as I type this! My local sushi place has a great lunch deal, so I get one cucumber avocado, one veggie and a cup of miso soup.

    Kappa (cucumber) roll. I just really like those. Other rolls tend to have mushy stuff in them and the texture grosses me out.
