I am dreaming of a full plate of super white tuna. *slurp*

Sam, if you want to travel a lil' further south there's Karma in Westford. I've heard that the sushi there is pretty good.

[Femmekat]

This is my new favorite sushi place in Santa Barbara...if you ever visit you MUST go there. Check out their menu...

Oh yeah, and honclfibr's rule for sushi: If it's not from the sea, it ain't for me. Fish = yes, seaweed = yes, rice = ok you are exempt for growing underwater and shit.

For reference, avacado = fuck no, you are no fish! Cream cheese = what the fuck are you trying to pull? Mayonnaise = you have go to be shitting me, I cannot believe we are even having this conversation.

Cream cheese. Mmmmmmmm... I'd slap your mom for a Phili roll.

That's no sushi woman! but it is still good for being cooked

Scared of what? It's raw not alive, it won't bite.

Yeah see, that breaks two of my rules for food. The second being "never eat anything that was invented in Philly".

Note to Philly residents: Yellow is a color. It is not a form of cheese.

Anyone who visits the Vineyard should stop by Faith's Seafood Shack in Aquinnah. It's a bit over-priced, but they have spectacular sushi... it's less than a mile from my house, which is a double-edged sword.

[Stoneman]

Sushi at a $6.96 AYCE buffet is bad voodoo...

I usually agree but my love for salmon and cream cheese overrides those assholes and their dumb foods and shitty fandom.

[TheIglu]

I really don't discriminate on what is put into the roll. I love sashimi, sushi, everything. As long as the ingredients are of good quality and put together well, I'm willing to try any roll.

At Baba, my favorite by far is the Angel roll. Also love the Godzilla, Spider, Rainbow and a the Volcano.

God damn I'm hungry.

Cool thread - thanks for the info on where to get sushi grade fish.

If anyone is ever near Natick mass and you love sushi, try Minado on rt 9
http://www.minado.com/
It's pricey (last time was $29 ea for din din) and it's buffet cafeteria style (read: noisy), but there's a ton of never ending sushi, sashimi, oysters, king crab legs, etc etc
one side has hot cooked stuff, the other sushi. I see lots of asian folks in there so it must be ok with them, therefore ok with me. It's cool to be able to just load a plate of say, unagi, and pig out. Add some hot or cold sake and wallow in it.

I do like the smaller sushi joints as well that focus on quality and service in a quiet and peaceful setting. I know it's not close to you NH homies, but there's one like that in Chelmsford MA - Sakura. Another favorite of mine in Bedford Ma - Ginger - you get hot towels to wash your face and hands when you sit down - nice when you've been out riding on a cold day.

My favorites: unagi, Japanese mackerel, octopus, giant clam, uh - guess I like almost all of it - try Chirashi - it's a combo of the chefs choice of what he has on hand over a bed of rice - you get more fish that way, it's usually in the $15 - $19 range, plus you get salad and miso soup with it.

[rbrais]

Most sushi chefs go right to the dock to buy their fish. The boats come in and they use a coring tool to check the quality. Pay cash on the spot.

Sushi must be very fresh. After a couple of days the bacteria can build up and it is not as safe to eat raw. Make sure you know when it was caught.

you should prob try finding hole in the wall sushi places. sometimes they HAVE THE BEST stuff.

as for the rolls - many american's believe they make them in Japan as well but in fact any maki rolls other than tuna and cucumber is an American invention for the AMERICAN crowd.

when i go eat sushi im all about the fish, how its cut, what part of the fish it came from. and dont use soy sauce, its frowned upon in sushi circles.

[mrezra]

God forbid we eat something we enjoy... it might be frowned upon. I'm the first to admit that I am a snob when it comes to plenty of things, but I refuse to dismiss foods or drinks because they have been changed from their original recipes. I don't dismiss the origin or the culture behind a dish, but I won't like/dislike something for being 'proper' or not.

+1 on the hole-in-the-wall joints. I have had some amazing sushi (and other foods for that matter) from the most unassuming places.

Haha that's awesome.

[ZRXDarryl]

No shit - dipped in soy sauce, touch of wasabi and pickled ginger right on top - THE HORROR! - don't give a flying rats munt if anyone frowns on it.
Tastes good, I'm eating it.

hey hey now, dont get up on my ass for what theyve been doing for centuries. im just passing along the info if anyone was interested.

besides its just the same with chinese food, most of you guys wont eat the real grit stuff, you just stick to general tsao's chicken and pu pu platters. wheres the fun in trying the real hearty stuff?!

But do you add a slice of orange in a wheat beer?

[ThisBitch]

I would say yes, invest in a roce cooker/steamer. You can pick one up for about $25 at Target.

We make our own sushi all the time and the ingredients are pretty readily available here, so if you need anything (rice vinegar or sugar, nori, rolling mats, etc) let me know.
