Default Who eats sushi routinely?

I eat it once weekly. We have a sushi club, all you can eat for thirteen dollars, with beautiful attentive waitresses.

Sushi is a staple to a healthy diet.

I eat it a lot. Twice last weekend. But I think it's overrated as a healthy food. The sweetened rice condiment isn't very healthy at all and I think that's what many people actually crave. I prefer sashimi, just the fish.

Sashimi is better, no messy rice.

There is a Hawaiian dish served called Poki, which is just spicey tuna sashimi.

There is also Tuna Tartare, which requires sashimi grade tuna. Very delicious and exiting to eat.

I love Poki. Also, that fusiony tuna tar tar. I also don't mind it seared and peppered.

If sushi tasted good, then I would eat it.

I love sushi. LOVE SUSHI. Regarding Seattle's comment on the unhealthy rice, I would prefer a whole-grain-rice maki, but that's not offered here.

Flash eats sashimi, but I'm all roll. Eel Roll is probably my favorite.

If I could find all you can eat sushi I'd be there everyday.

Thirteen measely bucks gets you a salad, miso soup, sashimi, poki, or any one of a panoply of culinary delights.

I once added up eighty to ninety dollars I consumed. And Marrissa does a good job keeping my glass full.

Mrs. Meanie and I took a sushi class last month. I learned how to make all kinds of sushi, proper knife skills, how to make the rice, wasabi, etc. how to buy the fish, eel, shrimp, and crab, how to make the inside-out roll (rice on the outside). It was blast.

Next week we're hosting a sushi party for my boss and coworkers. I love sushi. The only problem is that once you start making your own sushi, the whole mystique and exoticness (is that a word?) wears off. Last week I was at a sushi place in SLC and found myself thinking "I could make this - $10 for this roll is such a ripoff!". It takes a bit of the fun out of going to get sushi (kind of like how I never order spaghetti in a restaurant - why pay for something you could make just as well, if not better, at home?).

We used to do rolls occasionally at home, but we took a cue from our Japanese friends and started doing te-maki sushi. Basically, you cut your nori (seaweed) sheets in quarters using scissors and then put all of the ingredients in the midddle of the table (sushi rice, crab, avocado, cucumber, daikon, etc.). You just take a quarter sheet of nori in your hand, pile on what you want, roll it up and pop it in your mouth. Very easy to prepare and fun to eat.
