Fatty tuna, smoked salmon, and inari are my favorite types of 'normal' sushi... as far as the Americanized (but still tasty) stuff goes, California rolls and Seattle rolls are my top dogs.

 

If you find a good sushi place, you owe it to yourself to order your sushi omakase - leave your choices to fate and the sushi chef.

I do exclaim I very much quite enjoy similar, if not the same types of sushi you stated you did. You would appear to be superior because you share similar interest in sushi as I do.

Haven't had sushi in about a year. I loved it but then ate some ransom sushi and became sick for a week http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png

An entire thread dedicated to sushi?

 

I approve.

 

Whenever I'm in the central business district of Melbourne, I always jump at the opportunity to grab a few sushi rolls for lunch, even if most places seem to sell them at massively inflated prices. My favourite would have to be any variant of vegetarian, although teriyaki chicken and spicy prawn are close contenders for best sushi too.

 

Oh, and a generous amount of wasabi is always required, can't forget that.

Oh wasabi, how many are the ways that I love you?

 

Wasabi peas

Wasabi cashews

Wasabi mayonaise

Wasabi potato chips

 

... and just plain wasabi. When I go to sushi places I don't actually put it on the sushi. I eat it. By itself.

I have a rather strong fondness for the seaweed salad sold at Wegman's sushi bar!

 

Yum!

There's a nice sushi bar right down the road from us that has all kinds of things I always try out. However naturally I don't really like the whole chewy meat texture (seafood stuffs :s) so I only pick the most appetizing, which is usually spicy tuna or crab something. Dunno the names, I just randomly pick off the menu.

 

I know for sure I've had one before called Tamago which was just egg and some other veggie stuff thrown in, and California rolls sounds familiar too.

That varies a lot depending on what exactly it is that you're eating. I don't recall what it was, but I remember getting something that was like trying to chew through rubber at a sushi restaurant I went to a few weeks ago... getting it down was almost painfully disgusting.

I feel ashamed.

 

I have never had sushi.

 

I have always been afraid to have it :/

If the fish thing has you concerned, try some california rolls or inari; they're both free of raw fish.

Wait, there is sushi that is not fish?

 

What is this madness?

[Zoop 8,384]

Sushi, in and of itself, has nothing to do with fish, fish is just one of many common toppings and/or ingredients.

From Wikipedia,

 

Sushi (すし、寿司' date=' 鮨, 鮓, 寿斗, 寿し, 壽司[sup']?[/sup]) is a Japanese food consisting of cooked vinegared rice (shari) combined with other ingredients (neta). Neta and forms of sushi presentation vary, but the ingredient which all sushi have in common is shari. The most common neta is seafood.

[Finesthour 7,284]

Wow, I have always though sushi had to do with fish.

 

I learned something new today

[Zoop 8,384]

Also, while it's not true sushi due to the fact that it uses normal rice rather than shari, spam musubi is quite good, and very popular in Hawaii.

I have never had sushi before, this thread was a joke to start, but I guess not any more...

"Spam? Gets a bad rep, but isn't all that bad. Did you know that spam sushi is pretty big in Hawaii? I've tried it before, it's pretty good! "

Spam sushi, I never liked sushi, there needs to be a general sushi discussion thread in Everfree Forest."

I love sashimi. I usually get it with a side of rice and wasabi.

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

Looking at this thread makes me want to eat sushi again. It's been a while.

I do not know the names of sushi but I usually had the kind that doesn't have fish. Not so much because I don't like it but I just prefer the other kinds. Shrimp is good in sushi too.

[Finesthour 7,284]

I went to an asian resteraunt today.

 

I saw sushi lying on one of the trays.

 

I went over to it and almost picked it up.

 

And changed my mind because it looked gross.

 

I am a chicken :/

Spicy salmon rolls, spicy crab rolls, salmon naruto rolls. All day long.

[DubWolf 16,619]

I usually just like the Californian rolls . Or heck, anything with that crab meat..stuff inside .

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

I like pink lady rolls the most . The ones that I get have lobster and strawberry and that good soybean paper . They also remind me of an old friend from MLPwiki, who's name was Pinklady1

I've never had Sushi before.

 

Trying to find a place that serves Sushi in West Virginia is like trying to find unicorns in the forest. They don't exist.

Some people still hold the tradition of keeping live fish for sushi or meals for dinner. There's no way to tell if your fish is fresh unless you just chopped off its head yourself
