Sushi.....

spicy california rolls, I'll second that eel avocado but my peresonal favorite are spicy shrimp tempura rolls

and sake, well that goes without saying, prefer it hot, but cold will do if the sake isn't a cheap one.

spicy cali rolls, eel avocado and spicy shrimp? you guys get some ineteresting sushi over there must try it one day.

my personal fave is blue fin tuna. just with good old soy sauce and wasabi. the best tuna for sushi is called "toro". if youdon't mind slightly more subtke flavours then it's f*n sushi heaven my friends

will try and search out a spicy shrimp roll tho.

oh and i definitely prefer my sake hot!

I've always seen eel on sushi bars and menus, but never tried it yet. seems a lot of people like it, might have to give it a go

definitely man. i was put off by the sound of eel but haven't looked back once i tried it. it's called "unagi".

and as dajshin said above, give takoyaki (octopus balls) a go if you can find it. it's served with shaved bonito (fish) flakes and make sure you get extra sauce and mayo!

yum!!

unagi rolls are awesome. my local sushi joint has something called a "godzilla roll", which is unagi + avacado that's fried tempura style. SO GOOD.

Re: Sushi.....

I'm a much bigger fan of sashimi. Skip the rice, just give me the nice thick slices of fish. My favorite is the raw salmon dabbed with some wasabi & soy sauce.

Have you had sushi in Vancouver? There is a Japanese restaurant pretty much at every other corner.

i dig sushi

call me crazy but it seems like the biggest difference in sushi shops is how they make the rice

there's actually a very big difference between sushi places. quality of fish is the biggest difference. the real money places (like nobu in nyc, nozawa in la, and morimoto in phily) have chefs that change the texture of the fish and also match it with different things and sauces. that's also why you pay a grip when you go to elite places.

aha, well either my palate is not very discerning (very possible) or i have never been to one of the nicer spots (also very possible)

the most expensive ones i've been to are about $50 per person at the end. maybe i just like the rice flavor more than raw fish as i find myself eating more and more california rolls the more i eat sushi lol

i also dig some of the new trendy sushi rolls that have tempura in them like the 'carburator' and 'dragon roll' etc

i guess i might be eating sushi mostly for the non raw fish parts lmao (sadly that probably indicates i am not a true sushi lover)

Re: Sushi.....

nigiri unagi is my shit...eel prepared nigiri-style. I kinda like to skip the sake with that and drink some la fin du monde or maudite...but, occasionally sake is the medicine.

[geddon]

wow that picture makes me hungry

I always get a dragon roll when i eat sushi. For some that is either eel, cucumber and avacado roll or its a califronia roll with eel and avacado rolled on the outside with roe on the top(fish eggs)
it is incredible. Sake is always better hot.
