Oysters, Sushi and Sashimi
Lynne:
I am also a sushi and sashimi lover, Amanda.
Tuna, yellowtail, and salmon are my favorites. The only variety I have encountered that I do not like is mackerel - somehow the fish flavor there is too strong for me. I like some wasabi in my soy sauce too.
Regarding shellfish, I love fried clams but I guess I don't appreciate oysters the way Paul does! ;)
I always used the 'add condiments and swallow' approach, myself...didn't see the big deal.

I don't recall what mackerel sushi tastes like. The only kind that I can't handle eating... even a little bit... is sea urchin. :-X :P The texture just creeps me out. But, I've heard that sea urchin is considered are real delicacy by major sushi aficionados. One kind of sushi that I love, love, love... besides tuna (my favorite)... is caviar (the kind with the big orange caviar) in a roll. Awesome.

I've had canned mackerel before and it's terrible. It's really really terrible tasting. I can't imagine how awful it would taste raw! YUCK!!
So.... I do believe I'm going to do it. Kroger's has a sushi shop and I'm thinking about stopping there tomorrow and purchasing a few of them. What should I get? Any suggestions? :)

What's always mystified me is how much to order. You get a little check-off list for a la carte individual pieces, and I'm like, how many should one person get: 3? 20? 100?
I'm so glad you started this thread Amanda. I'm still relatively new at sushi and a bit mystified . . .
But I love how it makes me feel. A nice protein fix, but light and very healthy feeling!

What do you suggest I try Laura? Do you have any suggestions for me? :D

Sorry, this is a bit OT from sushi:
But also, have any of you ever tried Fish Head Soup? It's extremely popular in the Orient, and I've noticed many Oriental restaurants here in Indianapolis adding it to their menus. It's very expensive, and apparently the meat inside the cheeks is very tender and sweet.
God, I can't even believe I'm asking ya'll about it, because I'm not a fan of fish at all. But since I may try sushi tomorrow, I guess I'm curious about fish head soup too.
