I love Unagi

Im with you XXX I prefer traditional sushi over what ever they try to pass as sushi now a days.

I've done sushi a couple of times - need to have it a few more to see how much I actually enjoy it. I've had one good, one bad experience. so here's to more good experiences.

Once a week for me. I stay away from the rolls with ton of **** in them, but I have a soft spot for spicy tuna/salmon with avocado. That said, some places make their own spicy sauce and others mix hot sauce with mayo. There is a huge difference. Some places also include the little red fish eggs in the spicy sauce which I believe is actually traditional! So go ahead XXX, eating spicy tuna does not break the rules

I eat strictly traditional sushi, and usually once every other week or so.

hmmm ... from wikipedia:

These wax esters may rapidly cause gastrointestinal symptoms following consumption; however, these effects are usually short lived.

The gastrointestinal symptoms, called "keriorrhoea", caused by these wax esters may include oily orange diarrhea, discharge, or leakage from the rectum that may smell of mineral oil. The discharge can stain clothing and occur without warning 30 minutes to 36 hours after consuming the fish. The oil may pool in the rectum and cause frequent urges for bowel movements due to its lubricant qualities and may be accidentally discharged by the passing of gas. Symptoms may occur over a period of one or more days. Other symptoms may include stomach cramps, loose bowel movements, diarrhea, headaches, nausea, and vomiting.

Kelly - Where do you usually go in our hood? There's a joint down the street from us called 'Asaka' that's quite good but not cheap and the service isn't great. I'll often order takeout but they've got a great patio with a 180-degree ocean view. I'd say that place is my usual place.

The reason behind it for me is that as a general rule restaurants will use fish that is not fresh enough to serve as Sashimi or Nigiri to make the spicy tuna mix. And while its not bad tasting for my own personal tastes I try to stay with the freshest fish available. It also doesn't help that I live in AZ so I'm leery of Sushi restaurants that I'm not intimately familiar with
