hey /ck/ what kind of sushi should i have tonight?

never had sushi before.

>> No.3766726

>>3766713
you should start off with something good to get you into it.

Otoro is pricey but well worth it. (Fatty Tuna).
Eel is good intro.
Salmon and tuna are staples.
Try fancy rolls on your future sushi dining.

Good luck! I'm a sushi-expert in my town.

I wish there were palces that had sushi like this where i live.

Sadly sushi of that quality pretty much only exists in japan.

Basics: Sushi (with rice) and Sashimi (without rice), that's the only difference.

Sushi comes in mainly two types. Maki, the cylinder rolls cut in pieces, or nigiri, like OP and usually have a piece of wasabi on the underside. Ask to remove if you don't want the wasabi.

Raw fish that most people like: Tuna, Salmon, yellowtail, or escolar.

Cooked things that are tasty: Eel (watch for small bones), crabstick/crab, shrimp tempura, shrimp.

Fish eggs/Roe: Salmon roe are like fish gushers. Most other ones (smelt/tobiko) add minimal taste but weird popping texture that you might not be used to.

Stay away from: Sea Urchin. Try it later, but don't if you're not used to eating that kind of stuff.

btw, ask for some bbq eel sauce.

>> No.3766747

Oh, and wash your hand beforehand if they don't offer you a hot towel to clean. You can eat sushi with your hands if it's not one of those large rolls with sauces. If you're not adept with chopsticks, just ask for a fork. No one is gonna judge you except hipsters and who gives shit about them anyway?

Any questions, ask your server. They should be used to it.

I love it when pretentious foodfags (particularly prevalent in the weeaboo/sushi circles) say shit like "safe for beginners"

Safe for beginners means that most people will enjoy it, and isn't a required taste. A lot of sushi requires that you get used to it over time, or only a very small amount of people like it.

There is. It's a culinary term. It's like there's grade A beef? It has to get inspected and everything.

With fish, you can only use Sashimi grade fish to make sushi with. It's a law.

No. Rice and Vegetables? Why do you want sushi?

Sashimi grade does exist as a term, but at least in the US it is not regulated. There is no requirement for something to be called sashimi grade. You will still see it and it will most likely be safe, but there is no guarantee.

>> No.3769180

I loved maki salmon, tuna, spicy tuna, california rolls (I know not really sushi but still tasty), crab, and eel. Very safe choices.

My friend loved the shrimp nigiri, but I couldn't stand it. Depends on your taste.
