Good to know. So sashimi is basically just small portions of a smoked salmon, eel, etc?

Thin strips of raw fish without the rice...

When you eat a piece of Sushi if it's a ball of rice with a piece of whatever on top its called Nigiri.. The proper way to eat it is to take your chop sticks and pull the meat off of the rice ball, put your fish in the wasabi/soy then place it back on the rice ball and eat... Never dunk your rice ball in the soy/wasabi ..

It was so awesome dude. I had it at a Sushi restaurant in the Bay Area.

It's been my favorite ever since.

It's still considered sushi though.

I could probably deal with sushi every once in a blue moon if I weren't such a negative ****wad most of the time. Down here the sushi joints are packed full of 20-somethings who are overly excited and giddy. Then there's the eccentric "sushi know-it-all" who acts like he's sitting in the director chair of a sushi movie. I can't even enjoy myself because I'm too burdened with the thought that stabbing him in the eyes with chop sticks would be easier than eating with the god damn things.

Hah!

Well, I'm certainly not truely knowledgeable on the subject, and certainly not sushi snob, but I do enjoy it from time to time.

Sac definitely approves of that post - as long as it was sincere.

I thought that the Director comment was quite apropos as well as the 20 somethings that are absolutely giddy just to be there and do the hip thing in helping to deplete the ocean of all edible fish.

I wonder what's next? Last time I was in Taiwan I contemplated ordering the braised donkey penis and shredded camel hump. I can just see it now, Midwesterners from Minnesota to Oklahoma are elated as the 27th new Donkey Dick establishment opened up in their town of 2300 people.

Personally, I think that bugs should be the next big thing. I cooked some giant Vietnamese hissing cockroaches for a Bear Grylls party two years ago, though I got overridden about the methodology in preparing them. Should have deep fried them tempura style and served them with a spicy peanut sauce. Oh well, there's always next time.

I don't eat with chopsticks at a Chinese restaurant but I do with Sushi





I like eel sometimes it's a bit too sweet for my taste...

I like fried Salmon Skin rolls... Crunchy

Yeah I can deal with salmon rolls. I tried eel and it wasn't to my liking. I also tried octopus (tako?) and it was meh.

Elaborate. I'm intrigued.

Pack heat and call them baby killers? That's a start.
