Sushi (Who likes it )?

LaneC · February 26, 2016, 05:42:11 PM

I tried Sushi for the 1st time the other day and it was awesome. It was Sushi rolls with a Seaweed wrapper with rice and Tuna inside the roll. I have always been very skeptical, but tried it and boy am I glad I did. I am already thinking about some channel cat Sushi :D :D :D (just kidding). If anyone has a chance to try it and you have been cautious, or curious you may want to try it. Just a hint if you do, use a VERY VERY small drop of Wasabi on the roll. (it is very spicy hot) (not true Wasabi but the horseradish kind usually given with the rolls).

i like it as long as its southern fried ;D :D :D :D glad you enjoyed it though

sawguy21 · February 26, 2016, 05:50:17 PM

I was skeptical too but decided to be brave and am glad I did. You are right about the Wasabi, that stuff bites. ;D We like the box lunches at the Japanese restaurant, the Miso soup is really good even though it has a bit of tofu in it.

I love sushi and most Japanese/Aisian foods. I've even tried to make the rice myself. Love Wakami ! ( seaweed salad )

I use wasabi on lots of things where people might use 'hot sauce' of some kind... mmmmm

Sushi - isn't that fishing bait? :D I like it when it's cooked just right... I tried it, but just didn't like the raw fish kind of sushi. Have some friends that make it but use something like canned tuna fish to make the filling. That's ok.

I have cleaned too many salmon in Alaska over the years, both in freshwater and dime bright from the saltwater, and seen too many...shall we say things and leave it at that in them to eat them raw

Lane,

I like it. First I guess I ever ate was in Okinawa Japan while stationed there. The café did not have anyone who spoke English but had dummy meals on display so I picked one. it was pretty good till I finished and popped that little green after dinner mint into my mouth and it nearly stopped my heart. Never heard of Wasabi before.

Always thought about opening up a combination bait shop and sushi bar.

When I fished several of my target species went for sushi/sashimi. Fish had to be landed live (or in very good condition). Live giant spot prawns, octopus, squid, deep water rock fillets, slime eel , sea urchin, mako shark,tuna,just to name a few of the fishes my boat cranked out year round. A lucrative but dying business. I still love to eat it though ! Rob

coxy · February 26, 2016, 09:45:49 PM

sushi would go good with GRITS :D :D :D :D :D 8) 8) 8) 8) just had to say it

sawguy21 · February 26, 2016, 10:03:41 PM

You had to bring that up DIDN'T YOU??? :D

cousin jw · February 26, 2016, 10:06:37 PM

I also love sushi; however, don't mistake ginger root for raw salmon.

Ianab · February 26, 2016, 10:20:20 PM

While its not Sushi I'm quite partial to Ika mata, which is a raw marinated fish dish from the Cook Islands. You marinate the fish in lemon juice for a few hours then mix in coconut cream and some onion and peppers.

Surprisingly nice :)

DanG it, I have written a 10 minute reply and it deleted it, then another one and it got deleted. Thanks for the replies, I will write more when I calm down :D :D :D :D

LaneC · February 26, 2016, 10:25:11 PM

Green dinner mint :D :D :D

scgargoyle · February 27, 2016, 06:28:21 AM

I've never had sushi, as I don't trust others to prepare it, but I've tried raw fish (salt water), and it is quite good. It is much milder than cooked fish. I've heard that the parasites in salt water fish are harmless, but not so in fresh water fish.

I do like ceviche, which is the Spanish version of what Ianab described.

drobertson · February 27, 2016, 07:23:55 AM

On occasion it's worth a go, the first time was in Barbados, my brother Steve set me up big time, he had me soak the wrap in the wasabi for a few seconds, it felt like it took my head off,

LaneC · February 27, 2016, 11:08:09 AM

All the jokes/comments are great. Yellow or white grits? :D According to my research (no expert here) For a fish to be Sushi grade, it has to be blast frozen at -35*F for so many hours, or frozen at a higher temp. (maybe 0*F) for so many days to get the Sushi grade. The freezing is to kill the parasites in the fish. Afterwards it is thawed and then eaten. I wont be eating any channel cat sushi

. It might be good for bait also, but it sure would be expensive. I am going to try and make some 1 day and will see how it turns out and let yall know.

samandothers · February 27, 2016, 09:01:00 PM

I like sushi and love wasabi! Good stuff!

LaneC · February 29, 2016, 12:10:09 PM

I never knew how much some folks loved this sushi dish. I ask people I have known for years, and never thought about if they liked it or not, but they tell me how much they love it. I can see why now. Some even eat fresh water eels and other things. I think I will stick to Tuna or Salmon. Have you ever tried to get an eel off of a trotline? No way will I try to skin that slimy thing. And they will bite you too.

:D :D :D you must have different eels than we do cause ours don't bit and they are so easy to skin

Ianab · February 29, 2016, 06:31:50 PM

You don't mess with NZ freshwater eels. :D

Of course we don't cover ourselves in fish guts before we go swimming. :D But we have eels that size in our back garden stream. They like chicken scraps, and the cat knows to stay out of the water.

tule peak timber · February 29, 2016, 07:32:51 PM

On slime eels I landed 7 days a week, average 8- 10 thousand pounds per day, at 32 cents per pound. Do the math per month ;D

LaneC · February 29, 2016, 08:02:53 PM

That is quite a large amount of cents :D. The eels we have down here are dark brown and get about 2 feet long. They will slime a trotline so bad, sometimes you either leave them on there for bait or if there is a machete in the boat, you can guess the rest. They live in the rivers and sloughs and they will bite you indeed, and they are strong also. There will be a 1/8" of slime on the trotline and it is very sticky and very hard to get off. I have never tried to skin one.

LaneC · February 29, 2016, 08:09:28 PM

Oh my Goodness. Those eels are huge in that video. our eels are only as big as big around as maybe a hot dog. Those there look totally different. I would not have done what he did, knowing that type of eel was in there.

You must be up-state. I used to live down in upper-Westchester county - Croton-on-the-Hudson. The river is tidal there so somewhat salty. We would catch blue crab and green eels. Those things were supposed to be good eating but they were so strong and slimy and I do remember them biting!

That guy and his river monsters - he is nuts!
