Topic	Going to a sushi bar this week. What do I need to know?
InfestedAdam 09/17/19 5:50:34 PM #13:	If they have it, I'd recommend uni and bluefin tuna nigiri. Uni is sea urchin and the good ones are smooth and taste delicious. The bad ones are gritty and taste like seawater. Bluefin tuna has kinda a rich and more bold flavour compared to other fishes. My personal favorite besides these two are unagi (eel), salmon roe, mackerel, otaro (fatty tuna), yellowtail, seared tuna, and tamago (egg). The mackeral has a strong taste to it so be warned and the tamago is a little sweet so I kinda treat it like a dessert to end my meal with. LinkPizza posted... Do you do that only between different sushi pieces. Like only when you switch to a new flavor or whatever? Personally I'd say it depends on what you ate previously and what you're eating next. Strong flavour fish like mackeral might cover up the flavour of lighter flavour ones. LinkPizza posted... waterdeepchu posted... wednesday and thursday are the best days to go. don't get sushi on monday or tuesday. Why? I think the book, Kitchen Confidential, by Anthony Bourdain kinda covered this. Certain days of the week is when most restaurants get a new stock of fish. Based on what waterdeepchu's suggest, that would mean said restaurant would receive a new stock on Wednesday or Thursday thus the fish are at their freshest while fish served on Monday or Tuesday has been sitting in the fridge/freezer for almost a week. AllstarSniper32 posted... I want to eat sushi more often but it's too expensive!! Certain all-you-can-eat places serve decent quality of nigiri, sashimi, and rolls. Prices usually are around $25-30 in Los Angeles at least. Peterass posted... Sushi = pieces fish over rice Sashimi = peices of fish, no rice Rolls = Fish and other ingredients rolled in rice and seaweed.. Probably the easiest things to order. Technically I think sushi is any raw fish served with vinegar rice. Nigiri is the one with raw fish served over the rice. Depending on what you want TC, I would advise against rolls because some of those tend to have a lot of non-fish filling (i.e. cucumber, imitation crab, etc.). If you want mostly the fish, go for nigiri or sashimi. If you don't like raw fish that much, then go for the rolls. There are some cooked rolls like scallop. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the eyes!" <cite>InfestedAdam posted [p:927578241] in Going to a...
