What kind of sushi do you guys prefer? Any types you guys recommend that isn't typical?
I honestly prefer to get chirashidon instead
Lets you try a good variety of fish without the price
Anything as long as it has that spicy green paste
Hamachi belly is the greatest nigiri of all time
Since "typical" these days means "avocado roll drowning in mayo and sriracha", I'm just going to go ahead and recommend you try literally anything else.
For real though these sweaty little ballsacks called inarizushi are bretty decent
rainbow roll, basic and americanized but very tasty
>>7660179
Seaweed inari is great.
Tried some saba nigiri the last time I went. It had a definite fish taste but not at all in a bad sense. Very good, and worth trying.
I like getting a japanese bagel roll deep fried, as well. Makes the outside nice and crispy and warms the cream cheese inside.
>>7660179
There's this health food sushi place near me that serves these stuffed with quinoa. I could eat them all day.
>>7660249
>japanese
>bagel roll
>deep fried
>cream cheese in sushi
>>7660316
>what is regional variation
I love maguro ngiri. I prefer it over the fattier belly pieces. The flavor is just so much better.
Also,not sushi, but chawanmushi is great. I've been to a few sushi places which use it as a starter for the lunch menus.
>>7660179
>Rice wrapped in sweet fried nothing
Inari is tied with teriyaki chicken for plebbest sushi available
>>7660316
You know the bagel bit is just a name, right? Like how black widow rolls don't have spiders in them?
I dunno the origins but I assume it's an American sushi. Doesn't matter, though; it's delicious.
>>7660179
>"avocado roll drowning in mayo and sriracha",
fuck, now I feel bad that I love that
eel hand roll
eel anything that's not covered in mayonnaise or avocado
Behold the crazy eric
>>7660157
Ebi-ten.
fuck off sushi rolls though, they're not real sushi.
Cured mackerel is my fav
Vegas rolls
>>7660157
Chicken sushi is GOAT
>Hell's kitchen master chef placement
>Now we will make CALIFORNIA ROLL
Hikarimono
typically Kohada Nigiri
one of the "fishiest" types of sushi
highly recommend if you actually like fish a lot
>>7661347
me 2
but I can only eat one or two pieces
>implying the Japanese don't eat american style sushi now
I can't eat fish so California rolls are what I go for only. They are godly with wasabi.
Crab meat & cream cheese roll. I don't care if it's a may may roll, shit is good as fug.
omakase, fucking plebs.
also if you don't live on the west coast like literally what the fuck are you thinking even ordering sushi?
wat
I go to my local place which just has normal salmon on rice with wasabi
then again I'm not in America
I typically just like anything with eel. Eel in itself is just delicious; I don't know why it's so hard to find.
>>7663213
how is it pleb to order sushi you want rather than go omakase?
maybe some people don't always want to eat that much you know
it is usually good for value though
I can handle the Americanized versions as long as they don't put cream cheese or avocado.
>>7660316
>cream cheese in sushi
Ive seen it but I never bothered to try it because it sounds disgusting
How does it taste for people that tried it with cream cheese or cheese, whatever that white block in the roll is
>>7663253
it's fine
it's mostly used on cheap rolls
>>7663226
what kind of fucking flyover do you live in?
>>7663253
if you're looking to embarrass yourself, live in a fucking flyover with shit fish, or are at some shitty all you can eat place, it's honestly p decent if you're just trying to cover up the taste of shit salmon.
>>7663246
i'm mostly trying to bait, but usually because the chefs will know what's the best on the menu at any given time.
>>7663226
Spoils very quickly and there are not a ton of sources in/around the US.
>>7663267
>hur flyover
you realize most sushi fish is frozen no matter where you live?
>>7663213
Maybe some of us want to eat you oh so special fish and rice rolls without living in a barren desert.
>>7663226
Because it tastes like shit if.you don't prep it just right.
And lack of supply and shelf life
I love Ikura.
I once had monk fish liver.
>>7660165
Do you seriously not know the name of wasabi?
>go to a fancy sushi restaurant recommended by a friend while some friends and I were vacationing in Japan
>you basically just eat whatever the cooks give you which is a meal of five to six different sushi
>third sushi was a roll with avocado, cucumber, topped with roe
Was I just served basically a fucking California roll except with roe instead of imitation crab?
>>7660179
>avocado roll drowning in mayo and sriracha
I always wonder whether sushi chefs are more disguised by how we corrupted a great food, or our gluttony.
>>7663897
Most Japanese people think American sushi looks good (they love mayo more than Americans after all) but firmly believe that it isn't sushi
>>7663966
the mayo they love is totally different from American mayo though
>>7663971
I personally don't like American style sushi, but I'm pretty sure the mayo they use in American Japanese restaurants is Japanese style
Vegan sushi from Momo sushi at Montreal.
I ain't a vegan but they were tasty as fuck.
>>7660157
My favorite ever was monkfish liver that I got in Long Beach
The think I miss in sushi is crunch.
>>7663419
You know it's not actually wasabi right?
My local sushi joint does something called a Scarlett roll. Tuna roll with more tuna and avocado on top. Love it.
Do any of you cats roll your own?
It's cheap and easy af, plus a great way to impress the ladies.
>>7665666
Nothing better for satanic trips
the name is so cringeworthy but it's delicious
bottom roll: Op! There Goes Gravity 16
Salmon, Jalapeno, Garlic, Avocado Inside, Flash Fried and Accompanied with Masago, Crispy Leeks, Sweet Soy, and Lemon Aioli
top roll: Trophic Cascade 18
Tempura Asparagus, Spiced Kampachi, Honey, Inside. Topped with Iwana, Gindara, Sriracha, and Crispy Leeks
decent (albeit very inauthentic) sushi for being in a small town
Negi Toro temaki
It's a hand rolled cone of seaweed filled with rice, minced bluefin tuna, and slivered Japanese scallions. Fucking perfect.
Otoro. I just love otoro.
>>7665761
FANCY TUNA??
Give me scallop nigiri all fucking day.
Octopus nigiri is also a favorite of mine.
I'm surprised some people can't eat those two raw.
I like those little fuckin shrimps those amaebis
>>7660316
>he only eats """Authentic""" Japanese sushi
>>7660316
This is like getting nitty gritty over tacos,sushi is cheap finger food. Get over yourself
It sounds gross, but salmon skin rolls are awesome and in my top 5. They're crunchy and salty and awesome.
>>7660157
Sushi rolls are for plebs. Nigiri and sashimi best.
TOP TIER:
fatty tuna (toro), tobiko, scallop, mackerel
GOOD TIER:
salmon, hamachi, tuna, squid, flounder, masago
BAD TIER:
ebi, inari, tamago (egg), unagi/eel
SHIT TIER:
imitation crab, spicy tuna, most sushi rolls
>>7666619
Some rolls are ok if they keep it simple.
From a sushi restaurant that I found in the most unlikely of locations. It was the most expertly prepared and probably the highest grade sushi I've ever had, but not the best meal of sushi I've ever had, simply because I wasn't thinking when I was ordering. By the time I finished the meal I was tired of it. It all felt the same in my mouth and had the same general taste. Needed something fried or rich and meaty to switch it up.
Can anybody recommend a good sushi place in Washington? Seatac area.
>>7666619
Pleb. Good tamago is god tier.
>>7660394
My negroid. Based eel
>>7666757
I love those rolls made with cucumber instead of seaweed and rice. I order this one at an all-you-can-eat sushi place when all the rolls and nigiri start to get too heavy. It's very refreshing
>>7667341
Maneki. Don't order just the sushi though.
Love salmon sashimi with just a light dip in soy/wasabi mixture. Yes I eat farmed salmon and i love it. Yes I mix my soy and wasabi. Fight me. Fight me right now motherfucker
>>7667341
There's apparently a really good place in west seattle, my buddy told me about it but I haven't been yet. It's in the middle of downtown, next to a big public parking lot.
>>7667746
"good" tamago is still shit compared to the rest. It's fucking egg with rice
>>7668295
Have you ever tried to make it? Its a pretty involved recipe with more ingredients than youd expect. Its also nearly impossible to make without the special square pan
>>7668313
I've made tamago omelette but never used it as nigiri. I personally think scrambled eggs have a better texture and go w/ rice better, but obviously you can't make sushi with it. But most tamago nigiri is plain and boring to me. Many high end sushi restaurants don't even serve tamago as nigiri, but simply as an omelette/cake as a "dessert" of the main course.
>>7663226
Supply.
American eels are actually caught as babies and sold to asian countries to grow in aquaculture because their demand is devastating their local eels and still not being met.
>>7660351
>who cares if inari is god-tier tasty
>people are JUDGING me on my sushi order
literally kill yourself
>ctrl-f red snapper
>ctrl-f tai
>disappointment ensues
Out of the way
Objective best fish, coming through!
>eating fish bait
>cultured
Japanese don't actually eat sushi. They order the lemon chicken or cooked beef
>>7665627
You know sushi is not actually seaweed?
Japan ruined me when it comes to sushi.
I live in a Midwestern city so unless I pay a hefty premium I can only get crappy sauce covered California tolls.
>>7660375
>Like how black widow rolls don't have spiders in them?
...a-are you sure anon?
>>7663206
>Can't eat fish
>Eats fish
>>7660179
Do places actually serve this? I suddenly feel lucky to live in an otherwise shitty city with a permanent East Asian underclass.There's a reasonably priced and relatively authentic kaiten-style sushi bar maybe ~10 minutes away from me.
>>7660179
My nip step mummy used to make these. They're pretty damn delicious
>>7660375
Everything has spiders in it, anon.
Even you.
Something I had in Ventura,CA
forgot the name of it but ooohhh damn I was poopin fire
>>7670214
California rolls have prawn tempura in them. Doesn't really count as fish
>>7670004
Nice b8 nigga, I'm in Tokyo right now, way the fuck more japanese in the sushi places than foreigners
>>7660181
had that yesterday. Too much raw fish for my taste
I prefer classic spicy tuna.
>>7670884
No they don't. California rolls have surimi. You're thinking dynamite roll
>>7660157
I like the octopus tentacle
>>7671739
>Too much raw fish for my taste
You don't like sushi.
>>7670897
Fuck off, web.
You know fuck all outside if your pedophile cartoons.
>>7671739
>Too much raw fish for my taste
>>7665761
I can stuff myself with otoro alone if it wasn't so god damn expensive.
>>7671739
Spicy tuna is just oversauced bad maguro that wasn't good enough to be served by itself
>>7667811
Mmm I fucking love that! Favorite is salmon nigiri as long as it looks like that type of fatty salmon.
una-ebi
mirugai
ikura with quail egg
saba
tako for dat chew
My local place makes and albacore garlic roll that I love
>>7671739
>Too much raw fish for my taste
Do you just act like you enjoy sushi to make people think you're more sophisticated than you actually are?
>>7660157
Two words: Sweet Shrimp. I miss the texture and the taste. It seems that there aren't any sushi restaurants around here that serve it.
Also, Uni (Sea Urchin) is great. Too bad it's pretty expensive.
>>7672848
I right there with you, anon
>>7672919
>ikura with quail egg
This, although tobiko with quail egg is pretty damn good too.
Playboy roll for LIFE
I don't really have a favorite. Which is why I can never go wrong with the Chef's choice.
>>7674035
Is there a way to tell what kind of place I should do that? I'm always afraid he'll just serve whatever's about to expire
>>7666605
They're excellent! They aren't an everytime order for me, because I mostly like going got cold/raw stuff, but I definitely enjoy them a lot, especially towards the end of the meal.
For anyone who hasn't tried them, the taste is a lot like salmon, but the skin gets very nice and crispy.
>>7667811
But anon have you tried using the shoyu and wasabi separately? You get way more control in your flavor mixing!
Salmon tuna and soft shell crab
Sushi plate I made at work.
>>7674373
Why did you jizz rancid cum on the side of the plate? Also, you should get checked out for an infection.
>>7674373
Fukien art
>>7674373
that's a pretty shit california roll
Ready to send the next order on it.
>>7666619
You forgot the uni in top tier.
>>7674491
>tfw
>>7665462
What fruits or vegetables were inside the rice roll? WIch ones did you found tastier?
>>7674481
It's a rainbow roll.
It's probably the best of the westernized sushi
>>7675427
>shitty imitation crab drowning in mayo with the thinnest possible pieces of leftover sashimi on top
If someone orders maki that contains mayo, imitation meat, or avocado, chances are they don't actually like sushi.
in almost all of the sushi places I've been to, only the salmon and tuna belly has any flavour to it (cause of the fat content obviously). In all but a very few restaurants ive been to, sushi is mostly a textural experience for me. and my favorite texture is the lean tuna (think its akami?). However, my favorite japanese food is gyoza. I fuck up gyoza. hard.
Do any of u know the name of the fish where the sashimi is white, the texture is crunchy, kinda like squid in a way?
>>7676038
no mayo in a rainbow roll
Also I'm not trying to say I love it, but if you're going for dirt cheap sushi it's not bad.
>>7677419
>only the salmon and tuna belly has any flavour to it
Mackerel, nigga.
Also, most people I know who don't like sushi complain that it's too fishy for them. How come you usually can't taste them? Are your taste buds fried from all the flavor blasted food you eat?
>>7667770
yum
>>7677434
Its squid
>>7677835
No, not squid. The one thats like squid.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned my favorite.
>>7677896
hnnngggghhh when my local spot has good uni I'm obliged to get like 5 orders and suddenly my usual bill of $150 is like $250
>>7674491
are you asian? in california?
>>7660179
I fuckin love these
>>7670133
Of course it isn't. But it is actually soured rice.
i fucking hate everything about sushi, its so shit
the texture is terrible, the taste is terrible. no matter how you dress it up, its just sticky rice, with raw fish.
fucking gross.
and ive went to like the fanciest most well reviewed sushi places in 300+ mile radius
they still are shit
>>7660179
I love these little bastards, fuck the hipster contrarians that don't like this good shit. Put some sea weed and squid/octopus in those shits, it's delicious.
>>7678121
I which place did you goto and what did you get? I still think you probably had shit sushi
sashimi with cooked salmon
nuff said
>>7678121
Faggot.
>>7678810
So just chunks of cooked, unseasoned salmon? I don't know if that qualifies as sushi.
>>7675121
"Momo" and "Perle d'orient" were my favourite.
Menu -> http://www.sushimomo.ca/#!menu/c24tf
>>7674487
That's really neat and impressive but after reading that diarrhea guy's thing I can't help but see that as a shit covered tapeworm vomiting blood all over the plate. I'm sorry.
>>7677896
I did. Was the dude talking about sweet shrimp and sea urchin
>>7677857
Cuttlefish. Delicious
