I'd strongly recommend toro (daisuki) tuna. I find it to have a meaty buttery flavor that's absolutely delicious.

Stu, that "fish taste" arrives when heat is applied. I think that you'll find a serious lack of it with sushi. Enjoy the trip!

Totally agree; while I like mackerel, it's not for those who don't like 'fishy'. Spanish Mackerel is much more mild, however, and sometimes it will dance flamenco.

Lately I have been on a White Tuna kick. I love it.

Yellowtail is another favorite. Fatty Yellowtail (belly meat) or the Yellow Tail version of Otoro is probably my all time favorite raw fish.

I like a few pieces of Uni occasionally with quail egg on top to finish a meal.

Aside from that I eat just about all of it. I used to be really anti Mackerel but in the past few years I have a really developed a taste for the stronger fish. I enjoy Aji or Spanish Mackerel.

Recently a Korean guy that was eating next to me at the bar intoduced me to Korean Style sushi. (According to him) This is sashimi served with pieces of seaweed (Nori). You wrap the fish with the seaweed and dip in sesame oil or a mix of sesame oil, soy sauce and wasabi. No rice.

ALWAYS ASK FOR FRESH WASABI! - It is different and not made with the paste. It is the actually ground root and is 10x better. Better Sushi Bars will have it.

For desert one of my favorites is called Mochi Ice Cream. It's a rice paste that is similar to a dough. This is wrapped around small portions of ice cream. The Red Bean kind is very good.

Suki desu!

Gotta agree with that bro.

Damn. You guys have me craving it bad. I've been staying away because my wife was pregnant and now that she's breastfeeding the doctor is telling her to stay away still. So it's been about a year for me and I'm dying. But I'm such a good husband that I would never go eat it without her. Nah, wouldn't do that would I.

Split a big bowl of soba and then loaded up on some nigiri. Otoro, unagi, and a bunch of red, black and orange flying fish roe. A good lunch day today!

When I was in San Diego a couple of weeks ago I went to Nobu inside the Hard Rock Hotel. Their sushi was to die for even though that is not their specialty.
I try and have sushi at least once a week. There is a place around my house called Sushi Para that has all you can eat for 18.99 it is not bad but lately they have been doing something with their rice to make it sweet and it is not good.
But when I am at work there is another place called Nobu's that has great sushi for lunch that is reasonably priced unlike for dinner. I all about the salmon and tuna sushi. I do love a good spicy salmon roll. And yes I do like the roll with smoked salmon, cream cheese and scallions.

OK I want some sushi. Who's buying!!

I do love me some sushi... mostly sashimi though!!! I had a roommate in college in the late 70's that was from Hawaii. He go me into it. I've been eating it ever since. I have never had anything I hated... but I am not a huge fan of salmon used in sashimi. I usually just tell the chef to start bringing it, to not back off of the eel and sea urchin, and to leave off the salmon.

St. Lou Stu · 12-02-2008, 01:12 PM

Fantastic!
Thanks guys.
I didn't mean to hijack, but figured it was kinda on topic.

I will report back my Sushi Virgin experiences in a couple weeks.

Now I just have to learn how to pronounce some of it so I don't look like an even bigger ass than normal!
