Sushi is well-tasting, easily digestible and damn healthy for you.
I eat it all the time.

Its horrible to freeze the fish used in sushi first.....it will no longer taste as fresh....
wasabi's like any spice, though. you'd probably not want to hit it.
Wasabi isn't spicy at all. Its not even hot. Its just very very bitter and nauseous. I remember when I ate it, I ate a whole scoop of it because it looked like mint ice cream.
I like spicy things, sambal belacan for example, but wasabi isn't really a spicy condiment, just bitter and sour.

I guess it's partly an individual thing, or something. Works for me anyway.

Yes and do you think it changed? Raw fish is dangerous to eat. That simple. Especially when the fish are from more shallow waters...Originally posted by Natalinasmpf

Ya gotta do it Korean style. Get a big platter of thin slices of raw fish (no goddam rice!) and dunk the slices in a bowl if hot chili paste with a bit of wasabi mixed in.Originally posted by Ted Striker
It's all about the wasabi
Especially kwang-oh (I think its some kind of flounder).Stop Quoting Ben

Oh, come on, there are a million things that will kill you long before fish ever comes close. Like beer, or sex, or driving a car.Originally posted by Giancarlo

I love sushi and especially sashami (and it is all about the wasabi).
I recently visted California, and went to what was basically an authentic Tokyo pub in Santa Monica, and found out that there was so much more to Japanese food, though. F'r instance, there was this incredibly magnificent pork belly. It was so tender, I was able to tear away strips with chop sticks, and it tasted bloody amazing.Last edited by Ramo; October 3, 2004, 02:34."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

What don't kill ya makes ya stronger... though most of the sushi I eat is vegetarian. Raw fish costs too much, and Central Kitchen (the place where our co-op gets its food) doesn't stock it.Visit First Cultural Industries

But alas, I must admit.. I like California rolls nonetheless.
Making California Rolls and other sushi at home is easy to do. California Rolls does requires a small amount of initial practice. Do not be afraid to try!
"During the 1970s, a smart unknown California chef, realizing that many Americans did not like the thought of eating raw fish, created the now famous California Roll, made with crab, avocado, and cucumbers."

I love living in Seoul. At the fishmarket by the river you can buy good-sized live fish for as little as $13ish and they slice em up for you. Then you just gotta get some chili paste to dunk it in and you've got a full meal of nothing but raw fish for damn cheapOriginally posted by

Stupid California rolls, what's the point of eating sushi if there's no raw fish? Get rid of the rice, its a waste of space and eat pure raw fish.
