Red Salmon is my favorite... [drool] I'd have to ask my husband about it's specific japanese name, because I never bothered to learn it. xD
Up here in Kodiak we have a "Coastie Roll" It's got a deep fried shirmp, asparagus, lettuce, panko, avacado er...something else and it's done up in a soy wrap and then rolled in orange and green flying fish roe, with a spicy mayo dipping sauce. OMG SOOOO GOOD! but honestly I'm happy will straight up salmon. (and no, not all sushi is cooked, quite a bit of the stuff I like is raw, taken straight off the ice by the chef and put into the roll or onto the rice...) |
Melody: That roll sounds amaaaazing!! And my husband is a "coastie" so I guess it would suit us, heehee!
He's even from Alaska. [lol] Sounds made for us. Mmmm. [drool] |
Coastie as in Coast Guard? O.o
|
Yep. [lol] Is there another meaning?
|
I thought you may have taken it as living by the Coast... just checking. There aren't a whole lot of Coasties to begin with so finding (another!) on a site is kinda rare!
|
[lol] Oh, I forgot how few there are! Yep.
So are you in the coast guard, or your husband? |
Hmm...I'm weird in that I only ever eat salmon sashimi and salmon sushi. I'm not really a fan of any of the other kinds of seafood or topping that they use in sashimi or sushi. I mean, I can certainly eat them, but I don't really like them. Salmon is just super tasty and will always be my favorite. [drool] |

Antagonist: Have you ever had the fresh stuff? It tastes much different from the horseradish paste, in my opinion.
And yes, salmon! Nom nom nom. I stayed in Alaska for two months and they had amazing salmon there. [drool] |
I don't know if the kind I've had is made from horse radish or not. This is the kind I generally come across: |
Is that…. is that wasabi or soy sauce? [drool]
What other kinds of sushi have you tried?? I get scared to try new stuff sometimes. [lol] My husband made me try sea urchin and… blegh. One of my least favorite foods in the world. @___@ |

It's really the only food that I've had from the general Japanese cuisine genre that I've really regretted trying. It isn't that inexpensive either. |
My husband loooves it though! I don't know why… [lol]
To each his own, I guess. I still don't regret trying it, though. At least I know for sure I dislike it instead of letting myself die from curiosity. In fact, I tried it three different times to make sure… @___@;;;; Nope, never again. |
So....firstly, you're full of shit. I don't know what back woods, cream-cheese-filled, fried, roll this, roll that, sushi you think you know, but you're wrong.
Secondly, suggesting to someone that they try a roll named "crazy eel" or "dragon roll" when they don't live in your vicinity is just as remarkably silly, if not outright ignorant. |
Hmmm... But if you're in the United States at least,
dragon rolls are a common roll in sushi places across the country and usually include the same ingredients (and if anything's added but similar, it's usually named ____ dragon roll, and it's specified.) So it's pretty safe to recommend in the U.S. I can't speak for other countries. |
Haven't ever been to a Japanese restaurant in the states so I have no idea what sorts of things they have, though I recall being shown a picture of one of those rolls they have and it looked utterly bizarre to me. [sweat] |

No need to get super defensive. I live in the U.S, and eel rolls are available here, I've just haven't tried it. Someone I know said it was gross, and I didn't feel like spending eleven dollars just to see if they were wrong. Also, from what I've read, a Dragon Roll can have either salmon or eel. I guess it's up to the chef. Don't argue with the chef. xD |
Even in Japan these days, rolls and adventurous combinations of flavors are pretty common. Where I live, local conveyor-belt places always have "unusual" flavors that can sometimes challenge your idea of what sushi looks/tastes like. I've had: foie gras nigiri-zushi, raw horse meat nigiri-zushi, okonomiyaki inari-zushi, cod milt gunkan-maki, corn & mayonnaise gunkan-maki (very popular), etc.
Heck, check out Kappa-zushi's menu. It's a popular chain that sells "junk food" sushi so they are always making crazy combinations. Here's their pages for their special nigiri-zushi, gunkan-maki, and maki-zushi, including some uramaki-sushi (the style that originated in the US). I don't eat at Kappa-zushi much since I like going to places with fresher and higher-quality fish, but a lot of conveyor-belt sushi places have those kinds of dishes. |
They have some nutty stuff. :O For me, there's no appeal at all to sushi covered in mayonnaise D: Those Okonomiyaki look very interesting though. [ninja]

[i love the little occutopus sushi guy M i r o: made.
this would make you smile, sorry it ticks you off when people mix that up =3 |
I absolutely love sushi. It's so good but I eat it so rarely.
Now you may me want to buy some. |
It's hideously expensive everywhere, isn't it? I've only ever had a basic frozen box that I bought from Aldi a few times, and they haven't sold that for years so maybe I was the only one who ever bought it. ><

*EDIT* I had to get the link again: But here's the what hummuu is talking about The octopus is from the Harbor Fishing Game. I just turned him into a Takoyaki Octopus. 
I kept thinking I should've made those with him. ---------- Post added 04-25-2014 at 11:35 AM ---------- I went to a Tai restaurant for my first date with my bf, it was nice. I got the cashew pineapple chicken with rice. The chicken and cashews were inside a hollowed out pineapple shell. Then for his mothers bday, we went to a Japanese Steakhouse (was it Habachi???), they cook your food in front of you and do a little skit (although, it seems all of them repeat the same skit). I only ate shrimp and steamed rice, though. ---------- Post added 04-25-2014 at 11:37 AM ---------- Quote:

I like the wasabi that I've had. [ninja] But then I love horseradish, and from looking at ingredient lists, wasabi seems to be mainly horseradish and very little actual wasabi. Though someone...(Iro, I think?) said wasabi is a form of horseradish.
