What's you're favorite kind of Sushi /ck/? Mine is squid nigiri
california roll /thread
The one on your pic with salmon
Everything else is SHIT
>>7219752
I like walleye sushi most
>>7219752
ikura
>>7219752
Second for salmon, but I like sake toro better than the leaner cuts because it seems harder to fuck up for some reason.
I'm probably cheating but I always get an inarizushi if they have it, either by itself or with some seaweed / tobiko.
>>7219752
Squid nigiri master race reporting in.
sea bream and yellowtail belly
Eel & sake (the oily fatty kind)
I used to waitress at a sushi restaurant and we always had the most delicious salmon. It's probably the best restaurant in my town desu lol. All the servers are attractive Asian chicks. The chef always used to give me and my coworkers slices of sake sashimi (what customers would pay $8.50 for) and it was soooo good
Unagi is better than sake though imo. It's fucking delicious.
>>7219752
Red snapper sashimi, and only a literal faggot doesn't load wasabi up into their soy sauce for a fiery dipping sauce
>>7219863
>Wasabi
Horseradish
>>7219752

I eat it all, I especially like this white tuna fish they have on the menu but It always gives me the shits.

Pic related. With a light dip in soy/wasabi mixture
>>7219756
>shitty sushi with usually too much avacado

Oh boy this brings me back. I used to love these things.
Then I started to eat sashimi.

Sashimi: Surf Clam

What does meme mean?
>>7219752
A California roll with soy sauce is truly the best roll and it's not even close. There is a reason it's the most popular roll, because it is the best.
>>7220510
protip: if "can/can't handle _____" is in your vocabulary, you are a manchild who pretends to love food because it's cool.
you are transparent as fuck, just go back to mcdonalds and leave the nice things to the adults.
Hamachi is absolutely delicious for sushi. For sashimi I enjoy king clam.
>>7219752
octopus nigiri is best, something about the soft slightly yielding texture and the translucence when its sliced to the right thickness.
>>7219752
Yellowtail sashimi.
Has to be either Sweet Shrimp or Squid. The texture man
Negitoro temaki
>>7220343
Only kind of proper sushi I've tried. I had it from a chain, is it supposed to be quite bland?
>>7220326
welcome to 4chan, are you new here?
I don't like fatty tuna,i love red tuna.It is especially Tsuna Zune!!!

That's not how you eat sushi, savage.

Are you dumb enough to think that horseradish and wasabi are the same?
>>7223890
I think you might genuinely be retarded
>>7223959
Don't feel like deleting my post to add the pic
>>7223890
>Are you dumb enough to think that horseradish and wasabi are the same?
The average sushi restaurant is not serving real wasabi, they use horseradish that's dyed green. Imitation wasabi. The real stuff is terribly expensive so you'd only be served that at a very fancy restaurant.
>>7219752
I usually just sit at the bar, get omakase and ask for mainly sashimi. That's how I get the best stuff. I've had all kinds of awesome stuff that way. I think my favorites have been uni with quail egg and shiso leaf, and the time he served me half a spanish mackerel (aji) with what I think was a ponzu based sauce and pickled wasabi. I usually never eat wasabi on my sashimi or sushi (because if it's good, it doesn't need it), but I love my favorite place's pickled wasabi. I'll pick the bits out of the little bowl till it's clean.
>>7219925
Are you sure it's not escolar (aka, butterfish)? Escolar is very tasty, smooth and buttery, but it will give you the shits if you eat too much. It's actually one of the few fishes that are NOT very good for you.
>>7224012
Not op, not sure where you live, but "white tuna" is a common menu name for escolar in the US. Nobody says butterfish.
Any decent place will stop you if you try to order twelve pieces of escolar. The "fraud" thing is severely overblown, and so is the diarrhea "problem". People are not stupid.
>>7224017
I live in NorCal, surrounded by japs and asians of all kinds. It's fairly common to see escolar called butterfish here (or just escolar). As a matter of fact, I've never seen it called white tuna, but I've heard of it being called that. And you're right, any decent place will stop you if you try to order too much escolar, but there's a lot of unscrupulous places that don't give a shit. Many people can't tell the difference between a good sushi bar and a bad one.
>>7219752
SPICY TUNA FOR THE WIN
Scallop and octopus nigiri is what I always order. I can eat an unlimited amount of them.
Amaebi
Eel skin is my top tier favorite of all time. Salmon skin is an acceptable substitute. A close second is Inarizushi. I loathe any sushi with avocado and will actively avoid it.
>>7219752
Seared O-toro nigiri.
Judge me, it's fucking decadent as hell so I don't give a fuck.
>>7223925
no, it doesn't
but many countries serve a colored, prepared horseradish paste as wasabi as a cheap substitute, although it and real wasabi are quite different in heat. Why? Because availability and cost of fresh wasabi limit it in many places.
>>7219752
What's the second one from the front? I fucking HATE that shit. Impossible to chew, and the more you chew it, it just becomes this mucousy nightmare.
Unagi roll
/thread
is there a difference between sushi grade fish and fish in supermarkets?
>tldr; can i eat salmon i bought at my local grocery store raw?
>tfw nowhere to get sushi near me
>>7219752
dragon rolls!
>>7220711
Its the most popular because its cheap and doesn't have raw fish (attractive to newcomers).
>>7226088
"Sushi grade" isn't really a thing. There's no regulation for that. At least here in the states.
If you learn how to shop for fish properly, you can eat the salmon you bought from the grocery store raw. Just please keep in mind however fresh they claim to have received it, it's probably safe to add a few days to that.
Another thing to keep in mind, wild salmon may have parasites. Those parasites are killed by deep freezing them. If you're going to do sushi I'd get it already frozen, or freeze it after purchasing. No use taking unnecessary risks. The stores are required to inform you if it is has been previously frozen or not, and where it comes from, in case you're worried about quality degradation, or whatever else.
My two cents. Good luck.
>>7225855
Ika nigri
I absolutely love salmon because of its clean taste. I want to enjoy other fish but they all seem to pale in comparison. I've tried tuna sashimi but it's so strong desu
How do I into other fish?
>>7226161
There are far more parasites in farmed salmon than wild and most infections in wild salmon are from exposure to tainted farm stock. Be careful friends
>>7219752
Fire has been invented, only filthy animals eat raw shit like sushi. Fucking weeaboos need to kill themselves.
>>7226512
Haha never seen this post before!
>>7220343
Seconding this. Simple strip of tuna with a drop of shoyu. I love all kinds of sushi but the ubiquitous tuna nigiri is what I'd choose 9 times out of 10.
>>7226547
>shoyu
Fucking kill me now
>>7226488
Citations? I mean, I understand the farm's tendencies to taint the areas around them, and the living conditions causing a large number of the stock to die before being processed, but "most"?
I do agree. I'd avoid most farmed salmon. There's a myriad of reasons to do so. It's still wise to have the salmon frozen, regardless. Just buy it frozen from the market unless you have a deep freezer. I don't know of a regular home refrigerator that can get to around -20C. Maybe I'm just retarded.
Don't be retarded with raw fish, dudes.
If it's not made in Japan it's not real sushi
>>7226088
its generally wild caught and its flash frozen at like 0F for 24 hours or like -20F for a couple hours
i pulled those numbers out of my ass but its something to that effect
parasites frozen in your home freezer are generally cooled much slower and far more parasites survive the process
>>7226615
It doesn't matter if it's Tokyo or Philadelphia, I'm afraid it'd still be called sushi. What else would it be called?
>>7226640
memefood
Sushi has a lot of calories, doesn't it?
Sigh.
Am I an entry level pleb if tuna is my favorite?
I pretend to like nigiri and stuff but my favorite is always a simple crab-shrimp roll, God it's so good
>>7226649
Not really just dont eat 10k rolls. Consider sashimi if you are watching your figure. Super delicious still.
On topic, Unagi is best girl. I also have a sweet spot for local styles of sushi. California rolls, restraunt specials, etc. It's nice to try new things, and I can always fall back to Unagi if the rest turns out to be shit.
I really really like a roll for a local joint that is baked in foil. No idea what its called but that shit is crazy delicious.
This has nothing to do with sushi, per se, but I made the woeful mistake tonight of going to my favorite local ramen house, only to find it fucking overrun with cosplay weebs. Apparently there was a convention in town today and they ALL fucking decided to overrun the two good ramen houses, which are right next to each other. I had to wait fucking 45 to get in and eat while being surround with either groups of japanese girls with "super kawaii" animal backpacks and hat with ears or fat white girls and their idiot boyfriends wearing fucking cosplay costumes that squeezed their fat thighs and asses right out of them. MFW.....
I wish I had gone to my favorite sushi bar instead, even though the ramen and takoyaki was top fucking notch.
>>7226845
Sacanime is a curse

AH HA!! You know, anon....you KNOW.

so did u get to fug da fatty grill weeaboos?
>>7226930
Oh hell no. No thanks....
I love Japanese food, and enjoy hanging out with my jap friends, but that weeb shit is for fucktards.
im a pleb and only like spicy or tempura rolls, and dont even know what to order besides those. I actually like 'sushi' from grocery stores more than 9/10 sushi bar/restaurants my friends have brought me to.
Salmon nigiri best.
Stores near me sell tempura with their sushi, like tempura prawns and that. I like tempura prawns but are they sushi?
>>7223726
Never trust raw fish from anywhere but from a real sushi chef. Anyways, doesn't even look like you got any raw fish in there.
>>7226716
>It's nice to try new things, and I can always fall back to Unagi if the rest turns out to be shit.
That's because it's babby's first sushi and is literaly made in Japan. Cooked there, slathered in BBQ sauce and shipped to every sushi restaurant in the states where it is warmed in a microwave and served to you. It's all the same from the same place.
Grow up and try some real sushi, pleb.
>>7219752
No favourites, but I generally like eating white fleshed fish nigiri along with tuna nigiri. Some of my favourite white fish are bonito, mackeral, herring and snapper. It just tastes so refereshing and interesting, with a bit of sourness and fishiness but not over the top.
>>7220295
Surf Clam is too rubbery for me. Sea Bass or Bream are just unbeatable for sashimi. You're right with the unagi nigiri though.
A good salmon nigiri is practically unbeatable in my opinion. I did have some incredible sashimi once but I have no idea what fish it was. It was kind of yellowy.
>>7227097
Not sure where you live but in my city most of the pre-cooked sushi restaurant unagi is a korean brand
Maki rolls with smoked salmon on the outside

>>7226973
Good. At least you grew out of anime and enjoy the universal language that is food. Fucking I damn myself yo hell if I dont recommend a decent Japanese place for con goers though.
>>7228424
But its not sushi
>>7226845
Where do you live?
>>7230170
I honestly wish I still enjoyed anime and the most recent dramas weren't such crap. Its extremely difficult to get any kind of media out of Japan that isn't anime, manga, or big name j-dramas. Its hard to get Japanese language media for studying the language outside of Japan.
Japanese people just don't pirate and the old people refuse to retire or die and when they aren't actively fighting new technology they are assuming that there is zero demand for any of it outside of Japan and refuse to export. When someone finally forces them to try, they do an extremely small trial and don't do anything to support it, and when it fails because a lack of support and lack of consumer knowledge they say they knew it was going to fail from the get go.
idk what they're called, but little bit of rice wrapped in nori filled with flying fish roe and a quail egg yolk cracked on top is bomb.
>>7224555
>mayo on sushi
>>7219752
salmon nigiri, or simple salmon roll with avocado, anything with salmon
followed closely by anything with unagi (dem dragon rolls mang)
>>7219752
anything with eel in it
>>7230555
Those are like little bites of fucking heaven. So simple, but so amazing. The same situation but with uni instead of roe with a quail egg yolk is even more orgasmic.
>>7229397

Grabbed some california rolls from Publix.
The Rice is fucking gross.

>>7219752
Anything using roe.
>>7226869
My gf likes to go to cons so I get dragged along pretty often. Stings me deep to see what happens to good restaurants because of the con. Like it would be one thing if it was just some fat nerds eating food in a costume but they just can't stop themselves from being the most disgusting human filth possible.
>>7227097
So technically its the only authentic sushi since its prepared in japan and not burgerland? :^)
>>7231907
I have one of those in town but its 10 bucks for lunch. The quality is what you would expect but they go very light on the meat, heavy on the rice/sauces, and limit nigiri HEAVILY.
That said, the food comes on cute boats and its 10 bucks so if you know what you are getting into its not a bad way to spend a lunch.
>>7231907
I need one of those
>>7231897
>Grabbed some california rolls from Publix.

shit tier sushi from a non-sushi oriented place will do that, even if there is a "sushi kiosk"
at least go to a japanese restaurant to try sushi

Do they use a roe boat to get those?

a very underrated dish. i haven't had it myself because I don't have god tier omakase sushi near me but Jiro and all the masters have it on the menu, so it can be done very well
crunchy tuna roll
>>7236068
It is kind of a litmus for a good sushi chef since it is what you eat when you want to say "I'm full" after enjoying the sushi
>>7236132
None of my Japanese friends ever followed this rule and most of them didn't even eat it unless it was part of a pack since its the kind usually children like the best and everyone else would rather just get full on fish
>go to this sushi place 45 minutes away because it's the best place to get sushi around where I live
>hear my college is planning on selling sushi to students
>hell yeah sign me the fuck up
>try it out one of the tuna rolls

>rolls are so huge I have to eat them all in two bites
Apparently they were made at an authentic Asian place in town, but taste and texture were so jarring I couldn't finish them.
>>7219815
Those always reminded me of scrotums. Both the texture and the taste.

No, it isn't worse.
The dead know only one thing: It is better to be alive.
>>7239897
Inari and Shitake if you want to stay traditional but want something with taste. Nothing like veggies in soy sauce and sweet vineger to make veggie sushi a good choice and order it all the time as a side. Tamago also counts.
But fish wise I am gonna need to give it their own category of silver (meat and fat), white (pure fish meat and fatty.
Silver fish: I definitely like yellowtail.
White fish: I go for squid
Fatty Fish: Sockeye Salmon if casually ordering. But when I am at nice Bluefin tuna belly.
Shellfish: Urchin
>>7239279
Fuck yeah, that's my shit dawg!
I like tuna, octopus, and eel (fried? Unagi I guess)
I also like the fancy rolls and the bastardized deep fried cream-cheese roll covered in sweet sauce.
But I like to get the chefs special, a bastard roll or two. Normal roll even? If I hate money I'll get the bastardized deep fried abomination as a desert roll.
Usually just a chefs special
>>7241055
Sushi's really easy to make at home. Then you just put vegetables in it.
>>7219752
If I'm at a cheap ass place, salmon belly nigri and Dragon Rolls are the LEAST I expect. Negitoro don/ hand rolls as well. Salmon ikura oyako don is also m way of indulging in delicous irony, google it up kids.
If I'm at a fancy place, we shift gears into the chef's moriawase. I'm paying top dollar for the chef's skill with a knife and well-honed eye for the source. So really, anything goes here. uni, saba, otoro, chutoro, hamachi, kampachi, aji, listen, if I had the time to memorise every fish I was eating, I wouldn't have the time to savour the flavour.

There's pictures of Japan's Costcos and big platters of eel are everywhere along with sushi and sashimi.
>>7244494
Well, I like combining raw salmon and avocado together to make a big sushi roll.

Also why is everyone trying to sound cool with the Japanese names instead of just saying what the fucking fish is?
>>7248136
Look at it this way: I'm not trying to sound cool when I call you stupid.
>>7248136
I've had it.
It just reminded me of those really fucking awesome Japanese omelettes. Throw some small grain rice in with some nori and that's it.
It's great but it's definitely like "you just gave me a fucking big mac when I wanted a prime tenderloin."
>>7248131
I like raw sweet shrimp.
Shame the only shrimp sushi I ever encounter in America is the fake raw sweet shrimp sushi since the shrimp sushi that usually gets served a majority of the time is another species and lives in a totally different ocean.
>>7248153
That sounds pretty good. I love the sweetness they have. The fluffy/firm texture really does it for me too
>>7248141
Ecactly my point. You should stop beating around the bush and just say im an imbred retard.

I'm not beating around any bush, I called you what you are as they call it what it is.

Spicy scallop roll or salmon! And everyone here should use ponzu instead of soy.
It's just soy sauce with lemon, orange, lime, and green onion.
Much better though!

Sushi has nothing to do with rawness. It is about the rice, which actually needs to be cooked.
You are probably thinking about sashimi. You pay too much attention to popular media, and not enough to the real world.

No. jap is not the same as calling a Caucasian white . It's like calling a Jew a kike... fucking uneducated nazi. It is one hundred percent derogatory
>>7251803
Give me a reasonable explanation about how "jap" is offensive and I'll never use it again. Please cite the opinions of actual Japanese people in your explanation.
Because the term was used in a demeaning manner in Anti-Japanese propaganda in America during WWII and Japanese encampment. Politically correct types have pushed against the use of Jap in the mainstream post-WWII because of that. Even English-language media in Japan does not shorten Japanese to Jap even though its most logical way to shorthand it. The politically correct way is to use "J", like J-pop.

I just asked my Japanese friend, and he doesn't understand why any Japanese would be offended by it. I'll trust the opinion of an actual Japanese person on the matter over the opinion of some non-Japanese SJWs.
>>7251824
Of course most in Japan would be oblivious. The term was imbued with derogatory in America, not in Japan. It's the Japanese-Americans that object to it's use. However, NHK in Japan would never consider it's because they have lots of Japanese-Americans and other foreign correspondents.
>>7251824
Most Japs also don't understand why the rest of the world considers their nation to be aggressors in WWII. Help your friend grow up.

I'm going to the yearly Japanese festival in the city near me next month. I'll ask the opinions of Japanese-Americans while I'm there. I won't be able to report my findings to you, but you'll be in my heart.

If there's no access to fresh eel, that's what you get. I live too far from the sea to get good eel. Everything is bbq
I love eel, but hate how outrageously expensive it is.

SO....how many different colors is your undercut hair? And did you get an infection when you got that picture of Lena Dunham tattooed over your hairy pussy?

It was used first by the american soldiers in WWII, so it is somewhat hateful and warlike toward japanese people.

You need to learn how to stop thinking of everything in terms of how oppressive it is and start looking at intent.
There's really not much contempt aimed towards the Japanese from the English speaking world in the modern day. Almost every time you see see "jap" on the net, the poster is not expressing the idea that he hates the Japanese, he's simply abbreviating "Japanese". The term is not being used in a derogatory manner. In this usage, it's more like a nickname than a slur.

>Another white person telling minorities how they should feel about historically racist words
Asian people are finally starting to realize they shouldn't just "let it go" since it doesn't seem to help them much in the long run, just initially.
>>7252472
>another minority telling white people that their opinions don't matter, AKA trying to silence them
This is not equality. You are a hypocrite and a racist, and white people need to begin striking back at people like you.

So, here's a question: The Japanese word "gaijin" is in a similar boat. It can be a term that's just as cold and derogatory as it sounds, or it can be a casual term with no derogatory meaning.
Am I, as a white man, entitled to wander into Japan and demand that they stop using the word "gaijin"? Do I have a right to tell them what they're thinking when they use it, and to ignore anything that they have to say on the topic? I'm in a racial minority the minute that I step foot in Japan.
If you think that it's presumptuous for a white man to act that way in Japan, you have a racist double standard. If you think that it's justified, you're silencing the Japanese while claiming to fight for freedom and equality. Either way, it's bullshit. And so is this.
>>7252472
fuck off nigger
>>7252528
gaijin is just a contraction not a racist word you snownigger
>>7252528
ah but you see, as a white man you are always wrong and always the oppressor. even if that defies all evidence in a given situation, remember that as a white man you are inherently evil and deserve to be subjugated. haven't you been paying attention to the internet over the last 5 years?
>>7252541
Just like "jap"! Except when it's not, again, just like "jap".
>>7252542
White people really need to begin openly calling this out. We have no obligation to stay silent while people who claim to be fighting for freedom and equality try their hardest to take away our voice. On the contrary, we have an obligation to fight back.
>>7252542
You're really blowing the SJW thing out of proportion. Take a break from your little war-torn bubble once in a while, you'll notice that few people are actually aware of your 'plight' and even less people care.

Spoken like a true cuck. I'm glad you are able to live so comfortably with a cock up your ass, some of us just can't live that way though. Cheers anyway, and tell your wife's BF I said "Hello"
