hey everyone... anyone have the 411 on the new sushi place? I stopped by today to check it out and they have menus outside for you to take and they look like they could be open but they were not. Just curious.

This is a serious question. What is the deal with sushi? Why do people like it? Is it a taste that you must acquire? I have had the vegetable rolls and I can barely stomach the seaweed that it is wrapped in. Is sushi salty? Are you worried about getting sick eating raw fish? What body of water is the fish taken from? Just curious and not too wordly.

Guest -- i think it's an aquired taste, most snobs enjou sushi, you can find it indigenious (sp) to the western shore mainly.
I had it a few weeks ago when a guest brought me some back, I could eat 3 pieces and started to feel a little icky.
It's different.

;D LOl!!! I really can't explain it.......I just crave it at times. It's not something I can eat every day, just a special treat every now and then. There are some items I cannot stomach, like eel... But, for the most part I can eat most of it. They have really good cooked sushi too.....REALLY good! It's just something fun and different to eat every now and then.
Give it a wirl, you may surprise yourself!

Where is this new place located? I've heard it is at the opposite end of the Food Lion plaza, near Luke's and Dominos

Sushi isn't raw fish alone. Sushi is a Japanese dish created with an assortment of things, but always contains RICE. Sashimi is a Japanese dish using raw fish with nothing else. There are as many different types of Sashimi as there are edible fish. My favorite is Yellow Fin. Is it sweet? Yes it is. It is amazing. It doesn't taste like anything else. It tastes like Sashimi. In order to experience the best Sashimi, the fish should always, always be fresh. Not frozen and thawed, etc. I make my own and use only a bit of soy sauce to dip it in. The texture is different than most people are accustomed to, firm but more tender than you have ever known and with a light, fresh, clean and sweet flavor you can't find anywhere else. Too many people get "hung up" on the "raw" part.....but, so many people eat oysters raw, order their steaks rare and eat salads containing raw vegetables...that I have never really understood what the big deal is. It's not like eating raw food is unheard of. There is a mercury level concern with any fish. Some fish will contain more than others due to the location they developed in. Keep that in mind. But to anyone that honestly wants to try something "different"....that would be the direction I would suggest you head. Wow...I know what I am having for dinner!!!

SG68, I have to agree with you. My initial reaction to sushi was "blech!!!". But, I also eat raw oysters, rare beef, and raw veggies, so it all goes to what folks prefer.
I finally tried sushi last summer while attending an out of town conference. Granted, the sake sampler that I had with it certainly helped, haha, but I was with friends who were well-versed in sushi and sashimi. While I may never try eel (now THAT looks gross!), I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and agree; yellow fin is wonderful. It's just not everyone's "cuppa", but then again, there are plenty of foods that other folks may have grown up with that I'd never touch, either. To each his/her own, I guess. ;D

Don't be afraid of eel. What I have had is cooked and comes with a nice sauce on top. It's pretty good.
I've heard jellyfish isn't very good so I haven't tried that.
Sea urchin is something I don't ever need to try again!
Tuna is definitely my favorite and reminds me a lot of very lean and tender rare beef. Salmon, rockfish, scallop and eel are all pretty good. Something interesting to try is sweet shrimp and be sure to ask for the heads.

falgar, I envy you!!! I tired eel....I think it was smoked and I just couldn't take the taste of it. sea urchin I never thought of along with scallops (unless cooked). I think that's great that you have tried all those different types.....

A safe introduction to sushi is a simple 'shrimp sushi'. It is typically constructed like a small roll of seasoned rice topped with a piece of blanched shrimp. But most importantly is that sushi, as prepared in Japan, contains a small dab of green horseradish (wasabi) between the rice and shrimp (BTW ... that stuff is really hot). The whole piece is then dipped in kikkoman sauce and eaten. And as in Japan, it is typically washed down with a tall Sapporo beer. Tastes just like chicken !

Is eating fresh oysters any different than eating sushi. Are oyster eaters "snobs" too?

Do they roll the sushi after you order it, or is it pre-made? I don't know if I like sushi (haven't tried it yet) but know I don't like wasabi. BTW, why would I buy shrimp for it only to taste like chicken? Plus, I suspect you are paying more because it is shrimp you ordered. Thanks for all the information though. I am building up my courage, slowly

In Japan (in my experience) they prepare it right before your eyes, quickly and very artistically. The shrimp gets wantabees started eating sushi without the fishy taste. The wasabi 'kicks it up a knotch', and the chicken comment .... just a joke.

I went today for lunch. Really didn't like it. I ordered chicken terriyaki. It really wasn't good at all. Even the rice tasted funky. I think i'll stick with sado for the island oriental type foods. If traveling across the bridge i would recomment Kyoto in severna park. But i'll say still the best terriyaki have ever had was Social house in Treasure Island in Las vegas!
Even the little japanese place at the mall in the food court had better terriyaki!

Sake is a big help, too, haha! ;D I think my first experience w/sushi was also with shrimp. Since that has to be cooked, it is a good thing for newbies. As for the wasabi, if you go light on it, it doesn't have to kill your sinuses (it can be like horseradish on steroids, esp if you get too much), but adds nicely to the taste.

Nano - Main street in Annapolis. Try the Pink lady Roll, and tempura roll, and if you just want noodles - their Yaki-Soba is amazing! Kevin is the owner and he will treat you like gold - I can't recommend them enough...!
