A Fresh Feast of Fish: Japan Series #4


If you like Sushi, go to Japan, right? It's fresh, it's fantastic! Yes, sushi in Vancouver can be the same quality as Japan, but it can also be mediocre. Quality, in Japan, is consistent. Even the bargain basement 100¥ sushi places are decent. Actually, it's pretty difficult to have a bad meal in Japan. It may not be to your taste, but it won't be bad. This sushi plate was at Seiko's aunt house. It's pretty common to order sushi when relatives come over, because it's fancy and everyone likes it. That's the major difference... No one doesn't like it. At least not many.
And you know what, Sushi (as in Raw Fish slap on Rice) isn't really that scary. Most people who don't like Sushi's taste, is usually because they had unfresh sushi with bad nori (seaweed) and it's the taste of the seaweed that most people don't like. Fresh Raw fish doesn't taste fishy.
Anyway, that's enough of my rant on Raw Fish. Try some Sashimi today! You won't regret it!

Actually, I don't like the rice vinegar. Or the texture of seafood.

Pity, really, since the opportunities for eating seafood abound here and I know plenty of people in Ontario who would love the opportunity to eat it...

Karina, you should try Korean Sushi. They don't use Vinegar Rice (At least I don't think so)

As for texture, well, there's not much I can do about that, except that within seafood there's a huge variation of texture... whether raw or cooked.

Sushi can be good, but it was also brought over here to give yuppies in Vancouver something to do ("go out for sushi"). I'd venture to say that there is a significant portion of sushi-ya patrons that do not actually like it.

BTW, all these comments are coming at once, since I finally got my Internet connection fired up.
