Thank you Chuck, for being the voice of reason.

Steam comes out of my ears whenever I hear "I hate sushi. I don't like eating raw fish."

My bar serves the best hamachi on the island, and once in a while I'll be naughty and take some wasabi home just so I can make wasabi soup to clear the sinuses!

Not a problem, Sandy... I used to think of sushi as "Ewww! how grossitating... eating raw fish!" until I was shown the error of my ways by a Hawaiian co-worker of mine back when I was living in Sacramento. Now I'm hopelessly addicted to sushi, sashimi and sake!

Now if I want a bowl of saimin or a Hawaiian plate lunch, there isn't very much of anything here in Dallas, though there are a few good casino restaurants in Vegas that do a pretty good job. One o' these days I gotta get me to Hawai'i!

The more wasabi the better!

Don't have Publix around here so I take what I can get. It's not TOO bad... but it makes you want the good stuff. I consider it a hold-over until I get the real stuff.

Now sushi at Paramount's Great America is another story. But my friend and I were daring.

I've been craving some fresh maguro and hamachi sashimi and this thread isn't helping! I'm addicted to sushi. Thank God I live in San Francisco where it's so easily accessible. I don't know how I would survive if I couldn't get my sushi fix!

chideltjen- Sushi at Great America??? I've never seen that there. You are brave!

Todai rocks! You get all of those heated entrees like chow mein and chicken and some other stuff. And they have really good crepes and lil desserts The only sushi I like are California rolls, spicy California rolls, and the one that has cooked shrimp on top of a roll of rice.

I love Todai because dinner's on the house if it's your birthday.

Any of the Boston people have favorites in the city? I've had Ginza, which was pretty good.

Back when I lived in the Boston area, my favorite was Kaya. There's one in Porter Sq. near the T stop, and another on (I think) Boylston St. They have tons of other things besides sushi.

About putting lots of wasabi in your soy sauce, I've been given to understand that it's bad form / insulting not to at least taste your nigiri or maki before doing so, because sushi chefs often use wasabi when they make these items, and you should taste first rather than arbitrarily deciding they didn't use enough. The same is not true for sashimi.

Ummm...like ewwww! Even if it is cooked...

sushi has been my favorite food for a decade, which is saying something at the age of 19. im the sushi officianado of my friends, and i spend way too much money at the only sushi bar in denton.

oh, and i can make it!

My boyfriend loves sushi. I am the world's pickiest eater in rehab and I'm warming up to it slowly. Every time we go I try something new or start to like what I do have a little bit more. Sooner or later I'll turn into a real affeciando. In the meantime, I still kind of eat Sushi for Beginners.... California Rolls, Tuna Rolls, Avocado Rolls, etc, etc.
