I have never tried sushi. ever, in my life I know, toddler status. It's embarrassing. It's now the raw element. It's the *fishy* element that seems gross. I'm willing to try it now, I like fish more than I used to. I told a friend I wouldn't try it from a grocery store etc. Gotta be a nice restaurant (fuck me, I will NEVER be able to spell this restaurant without google). Now I'm going to a nice spot in San Francisco. I'll order some tempura shrimp as a backup which I know I'll like. Recommend me a tasy bit of sushi that's not too fishy? I wanna try the "fatty tuna" cause I do like tuna. |

for the record: If I saw someone make a post about phonography statistics/ wife sex AND sushi on the same day MY answer this this question would be: "try your wife's pussy" I already thought of it, bitch. Good try. |

How can you be 40 and never ever try sushi once in your life up to that point? It's like never eating pizza |

In America don't they do odd things like put cream cheese in there? I guess you can put anything... My partner, an excellent cook, taught me how to make sushi. Not Jap-Grade award-winning Sushi sure, but perfectly fine. It's a bit fiddly but not that difficult, and satisfying to do. |

Go for anything roll without surimi or "hot" sake tuna (which is minced mash and has no texture) My top recommendation is a roll with crispy sake skin, sake (salmon) and unagi (eel) Get some maki along: Shitake (super intense flavor) Avocado or sake/avocado mix Most expensive fish in maki is usually not a great value for your taste buds as the rice often is more premanent. So get one or two fish or anything nigiri you are curious about tasting it raw. My personal fave is unagi (great sauce and usually smoked) Or sake. |

|
|
Fave drink along is a ginger tea Obviously |
||||||||
|

|

Oh and take it easy with the wasabi Personally i only see it enhancing sake nigiri or similar raw fish And ruining pretty much everthing else |

sushi is suited to jap-style DNA patterns, what u need is pie and mash |

pie and mash 'restaurant', £3 pints of bitter.... get it down you |

I should be eating carveries not sushi |

I think I missed it because my mom doesn't like it so I wasn't exposed to it. And I didn't really like fish as a kid. I have a date with my buddy to go to a nice sushi restaurant in SF. He's ok with it if I gag and eat something else, but I will give it a real try and post back. Roger: we probably Americanize the crap out of sushi, tho I think this restaurant will be more authentic. I'll make sure to be dubious if I see cream cheese anywhere on the menu. |

thanks ijon! that's actually helpful. I'm most scared of the eel, that sounds really gross but I will still try it. I love wasabi/horseradish and expect that to carry the day in general. |

youre welcome, firsts are fun if youre led into it .-) my guess is your buddy isnt new to it either, so, hope you have a nice day out :) |

any opinion on fake fish? i'm vegan, so would eat it. but i kind of hate fish, so fake fish as well. so i guess a better question is: is sushi without fish still interesting enough? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've had fake squid, came with a thin, vinegary dip. was ok, a bit slimy. no real wish to indulge again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ew i guess something like tuna or some white fish will be easier to fake. i've seen the fish advertised at some sushi place and will try it (next month, i'm organizing a movie night with ghost in the shell and sushi) |

you can have great vegan sushi plates even. especially avocado, shiitake make great maki or nigiri, algae can be tasty Gunkan-Maki, have an algae salad too, yum! temaki handrolls are basically vegan if you leave the surimi out, Inari-Sushi are sweet pockets made out of fried tofu skin and absolutley delicious, we never leave them out. there is "no-fish" sauce that resembles fish sauce pretty well and sushi rice generally lives or dies with the basic sauces, most of which are vegan as is wasabi. possibilities with vegan ingredients to make rolls are huge. now, that being said... i find it hard to pass on sake (salmon) or unagi (eel). so, where it is served, i order them, with delight. however it is only going to be a matter of time until the subs will be just as great and i will order them if the manufactoring is better for the environment by a large amount. |

awesome info, thanks TIL (today i learnt) "sake can be both alcohol (é…’) or salmon (é®)" |

after a few delays on my end, the first time sushi is happening tomorrow |
||||||||
|
|

|

was originally gonna be a nicer one in SF (a short ferry ride from my buddy's house) but I opted for this closer one in the east bay that he vouches for. It's probably better for a beginner and less $$$ for something I might end up hating. We'll see how it goes. |

I'm going to try the eel because ijonspeches said its good. definitely the spicy tuna roll as well. |

How was it? |

Since xlt was down I wrote my review on discord (w a couple of pics), But yeah it good! Not fishy like I was expecting.. just very slightly oceany (fresh tasting) with the consistency of rare beef. Tried salmon, tuna and eel (eel was the best of the three). It needed a bit more fat for my American tastes, next time will try it with a little Wasabi mayo or something, I think that would add enough. |

dad and sister used to make sushi once a week. bad enough they'd leave a chunk of salmon under a dripping sink for two hours, but, man. i cannot stand the smell of rice vinegar for whatever reason i'd tried sushi and didn't care for it, but thought nothing of them going to sushi classes, buying equipment, etc. but something something "oh it'd be cool to have a hardcore asian roommate, a change of pace" and then you actually get a hardcore asian roommate and change your mind. |

i wonder if my well-received watmm posts about tony motherfuckin' wu are still on watmm somewhere. probably not. joyrex would insist on cleaning stuff up "because it's old and clutters things up" but both joyrex and i know the real reason was "because it's not free" while a layer above the core answer of "because i'm a cheap bastard," the real reason of "because it's not free" is still not great PR and we'd best dress it up further. hence a picture is painted of joyrex deleting Truly Classic Shit dedicated admin. cleaning up after us all -- shouldn't we be so super grateful? joyrex wishes to add the following ~ ° "keeping old posts actually far worse than 'not free' -- it impacts profit margins" ° "why the [hank hill expletive] should i pay to keep content my community has generated when i've already banned anyone vocal about keeping content the community has generated?" ° "why i am i being simulated in an EpicMegatrax post? this is worse than a root canal. his simulation of me is literally over a decade out of date since i don't answer emails from The Banned" sorry joyrex. it's over now [throws him back into the lake] ...anyways, I was fishing around for some context for my comments about hardcore asian roommates, and I literally did my thing and liveblogged the whole arc on watmm. And if those are still there, they will be a supremely entertaining read. I was 21, drinking heavily, and the only reason I didn't come out looking like a complete douche myself was that Tony Motherfucking Wu was infinitely worse. my point is that sushi is a bad roommate.

i was in Sainsburys the other day and couldn't help smiling when there was a Jewish mother and her very dippy/liberal teenager daughter wandering around, and i heard the mother going "do you want any stuff for your sushi", pointing at the shelf. What you want is some proper Japanese ideals, not a very shit impression of the food. |

to be fair I DID try it all without any accoutrements. Mb a little soy sauce and some of that wasabi paste on some of the bites. It was good and clean. https://imgur.com/a/fonmOgy I got the tempura vegetables and chicken katsu as a safety net. They were still both better than the sushi, but the sushi was good too. I will try it again, but next time put some mayo on the shit, it can only make it better. |

i noticed the asian american guests in your picture. always a good sign if you enter a foreign kitchen. id love to be in socal or sf for the food, some beach time and culture mingling. see the warriors lose another one, but still cheering them up. |

I posted about it b4 (couple of times), but I grew up around a lot of persians. Close friends of the family and tenants at our house. All these cats could cook and their food was awesome. I loved those guys. Saffronny yellow basmati rice that was crisp at the bottom, lavash bread and bbq with interesting flavors. I hope you enjoy your meal and forget about work for a bit and whatever else ails you! I'm going out with my wife, mom, and grandma (shes 97!)-- all my special ladies, for my 40th birthday next week. in Palo Alto for some prime rib. Might be my favorite meal. Little man in the picture you referenced wants to take me out later in the week too but not sure where tho! |
