HK, I don't know if you've
ever actually had fugu, but I
find it to be utterly bland and
disappointing!! Similar to
fluke/flounder. And when
you know how unlikely it is
that you will die from eating
it, it's even less exciting!!
Definitely not worth the price
to me. There are fugu
restaurants in japan where
the entire meal is based on
fugu - they are outrageously
expensive!!!! (as is
everything else)
When you say what is your
favorite kind of sushi, do
you mean makizushi or
nigirizushi?
I prefer the nigiri variety!!
Within that, my favorite by far
is o- oro (the fatty fatty tuna)
- chu-toro is good too, but
not quite as fatty.
I also enjoy a really good
hamachi.
But really, when it comes to
sushi, it really depends on
the fish that they happen to
have at the time. I'm not a
big salmon fan (too greasy),
but I'll take a good salmon
over a mediocre tuna any
day!!
I also like tekkamaki (tuna
in the wrapped style)
because I think tuna has a
good flavor. Otherwise I
don't see much point in
getting a maki, because you
can't appreciate the texture
of the fish, and that's half of
the point of eating sushi!!!
I'm not really a fan of any
"rolls" - they're good, but as
long as its a good sushi
place, I figure I might as
well be eating something
where I can appreciate the
fish fully!
The BEST sushi I ever have
is when I go fishing - I don't
like to keep the fish I catch,
but if I go with my father, he
will keep them. We keep a
bottle of soy sauce on
board so that we can filet
the fish and eat it as
sashimi right on the boat -
striped bass is great, but
surprisingly, a fresh caught
bluefish makes
PHENOMENAL sashimi.
But it must be JUST caught
- even a few hours later it is
already too fishy!!!!
