edit: oops, forgot about hamachi :9

 

[aoi tsuki]

Hamachi is my favorite for sashimi, toro and shirotataki are close seconds. Undecided for sushi since there's so many combinations. They're all good.

 

[Chipopo]

Spicy Crab Roll with ease.

 

[Pochacco]

Mmm....yellowtail.
I knew this thread would make me hungry - probably shouldn't have started it since I don't have any food with me at the moment. Damn.

 

[Jim Bowie]

The only time I had sashimi, I almost got sick.. I don't know why. I should really try it again.

 

[Phoenix]

I already know that I'm going to get sushi for lunch tomorrow.... without question.

 

[Trakball]

there's this really expensive, upscale place on a little island by San Diego called "Peohe's" that has the most incredible sushi... if your wallet can handle it!

my favorite there is the "surf & turf" - steak tartare over shrimp over rice. it's like $14 a plate but my mouth had an orgasm, so it was worth it!

anywhere else though, i'm inclined towards the philly roll (salmon & cream cheese) or anything with tempura-style-action.

 

[heavy liquid]

Salmon sashimi a favorite for me, too.

One of the few things I don't like is umi. Bleargh.

Spicy tuna, unagi, shrimp tempura, crab... it's all good. Can't go wrong with Dyanamite and Caterpiller rolls either. I usually like trying out the specialty rolls that different sushi places have. There's one roll that's available only in December at a local sushi place by my house called the Christmas roll. Tthe thing is HUGE, and has about 4 or 5 different kinds of fish in it. Yum.

 

[Jim Bowie]

Erm. What's a Caterpillar Roll? The contents, I mean.

 

[Ecrofirt]

Is this sashimi? : http://www.japonia.org.pl/ezimagecatalogue/catalogue/variations/766-500x500.jpg

If so, that's the only stuff I've had. I really like salmon, red snapper, and tuna.

 

[Eric-GCA]

Spicy Tuna/Salmon Roll is where its at, and a Tempura roll.

One of the people in my Game Design class just came back from Japan and was treated there to a full course of "fugu" (the poisonous blowfish) and he said it was very good.

Nope, that's sushi. Take off the rice and you've got sashimi.

 

[sc0la]

Maguro
Tako
Ebi
Yellow tail

Sometimes eel (but that is cooked a bit so..)

I can't stand salmon sashimi :x

 

[way more]

Tuna and Salmon is good enough for me.

What's a spider roll?

 

[Ecrofirt]

so sashimi is just like chunks of the fish?

Does it taste the same as the sushi, or is it prepared differently?

 

[Trakball]

I think sashimi = just the fish, no rice, but I could wrong about that

 

[Brodequin]

mackeral

Anyone here make their own sushi? I've been doing it for a while and have been quite happy with it. Only do it usually with smoked salmon or crab though. But its nice to experiment making a hamburger (ground beef, shredded cheese and rice) or chicken roll

 

[Brodequin]

sashimi is just the chunk of fish

nigiri is the chunk of fish (sashimi) over a clump of rice

 

[nitewulf]

i dont know, i alwyas drink vodka before hand to build an appetite...order a sushi/sashimi platter and some tempura...with loads of sake. so i like pretty much everything except eel.
crab/spicy tuna/tuna sashimi/salmon sashimi/shrimp whatever, just throw it at me.

 

[nitewulf]

just the slice. salt water fish only though, fresh.

 

[Neo_ZX]

Spider roll is made with soft-shell, yet crispy crab legs. The legs hang out on the ends so it looks spidery.

My fav too. Spicy salmon comes close. Tempura too.

I've always wanted to get one of those "Mr. Sushi" makers from the county fair, but everytime I'm about ready to make my purchase I have second thoughts. I don't want to make balls of rice that fall apart the minute I take them out of the little tray!

Your experiments sound dope though, Brodequin

 

[Eric-GCA]

I've tried to make my own sushi. I suppose its turned out ok, I've mainly used Salmon, shrimp and avocado, so its nothing fancy, but it works. Haven't done it in a while though, because the store close by wasn't selling fresh fish for some time.

 

[thom]

Holy trinity

Albacore + Ponzu + green onions = orgasm in your mouth.

Unagi is my second favorite.

 

[Trakball]

Albacore + Ponzu + green onions = orgasm in your mouth.

wow, that does sound good man! is there a name for that?

 

[thom]

Just order Albacore--ponzu and green onions come standard at pretty much any sushi bar you go to.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Unagi! God I love it!
But I couldn't stand uni or ikura ><

 

[Ecrofirt]

Unagi is a bit too salty for me

 

[thom]

Unagi! God I love it!
But I couldn't stand uni or ikura ><

Uni looks like baby shit and if I knew what baby shit tasted like I'm sure it wouldn't be that far from

Does anybody actually like Uni?

 

[duderon]

Tuna by far. Salmon next. I've yet to try uni, but i've tried most others.

 

[duderon]

[Trakball]

thom, I will have to order that next time... good looking out!

there's this other thing I love: it's spicy crab stuffed into inari called a "Football". tasty!!

Sushi Wabi in chicago is godly. Here are a few of my favorite Maki:

godzilla: tempura shrimp, orange tobikko, spicy mayo, avocado, cream cheese, green onion, chili sauce, sesame seed

ecuador: maguro, hamachi , cilantro , cuc , avocado , green onion , jalapeno , orange tobikko , tempura crumbs , chili sauce , wasabi mayo , sesame seed

The best part is that all of their rolls that use crab use real crab, not nasty crab sticks...


Also, a quick review (from citysearch) of Heat, another unique chicago Sushi place:
Sashimi is killed-to-serve: Choose from fresh and saltwater fish tanks on the base of the sushi bar. Pass over the chewy flounder and order the mild, light suzuki (bait sea bass). Executive chef and owner Kee Chan presents the flailing, freshly killed fish in plastic containers for approval; ours was still twitching when prepared and served raw and whole. Elaborate garnishes involve meticulously carved fruits and edible flowers. Perfectly tender, melt-in-your-mouth live shrimp make for a wonderful appetizer.

 

[Trakball]

damn Tortfeasor! *books next flight to Chicago*

 

[thom]

I had sushi for lunch yesterday.

Funny little exchange between myself and the sushi chef:

Me: "Man, this is good sauce what is it?"

Sushi Chef: "Oh...it's a special Japanese cheese sauce"

Me: "Really? what's in it?"

Sushi Chef: "Mayonaisse"

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Tuna tataki.

 

[Chipopo]

godzilla: tempura shrimp, orange tobikko, spicy mayo, avocado, cream cheese, green onion, chili sauce, sesame seed

:O Godly indeed

 

[Culex]

Red snapper
Unagi <---hot crispy orgasm in mouth

Uni isn't bad per-say, just has a gelatenous texture. It's quite bitter.

 

[heavy liquid]

Erm. What's a Caterpillar Roll? The contents, I mean.

Usually, a Caterpillar roll is an eel and cucumber roll with sliced salmon laid on top, though it can vary from place to place.

 

[Trakball]

have all y'all heard of "dynamite"? it might be called "dynamite roll" or something like that. whenever I order it, it's like a plate of different types of shredded fish in this alfredo sauce that is just... oh fuck it's 9:30PM and now I want to get sushi

 

[Tortfeasor]

Caterpiller roll @ Sushi Wabi: hamachi . unagi . avocado . sprouts . eel sauce . red/black tobikko . sesame seed (The avocado is sliced thin and wrapped around the outside of the roll to make it look like a big green caterpiller)

Do you guys like dragon rolls? There is a place near me that has a ton of different dragon rolls. The place is called Starfish. Here is the list:

White dragon (S.W. over shr. Tempura)

Black dragon (Eel over spicy scallop)

Red dragon (Spicy tuna over soft-shell crab)

Dragon (Eel over shrimp tempura)

Golden Dragon ( Eel over lobster tempura)

(S.W. = Super White Tuna)

Uni isn't bad per-say, just has a gelatenous texture. It's quite bitter.

Imo, it's quite sweet. I love the way it pratically melts in the mouth. So delicious =-9

 

[fart]
