have you ever tried Sushi or been tempting to try it? How did it taste? Would you eat it again?

Question

I've been tempted to try it but have not had the chance yet!!

Answer 1

Raw fish? No way! That's why God gave us frying pans.

Answer 2

just because it says "sushi", dont automatically assume that it s raw fish. what makes "sushi" sushi, is the rice that is used.
i would never, never consider eating raw fish, altho a lot of people like it. i will have either california/vegie roll, or what they call "yumyum rool" here which is the nori, rice, imitation crab and spicy mayo.
you can have anything in sushi and enjoy it. it tastes really great, i will even be tempted to try some with the fish eggs on it, but if i get a hint of fish smell or taste, i wont eat it.

Beginning as a method of preserving fish centuries ago, sushi has evolved into an artful, unique dining experience. In its earliest form, dried fish was placed between two pieces of vinegared rice as a way of making it last. The nori (seaweed) was added later as a way to keep one's fingers from getting sticky.

Technically, the word `sushi' refers to the rice, but colloquially, the term is used to describe a finger-size piece of raw fish or shellfish on a bed of vinegared rice or simply the consumption or raw fish in the Japanese style (while sushi is not solely a Japanese invention, these days, the Japanese style is considered the 'de facto' serving standard). This can be eaten as is, or is often dipped into shoyu (Japanese soy sauce) and then eaten. Great care is taken in the creation of the dish and the many methods of preparing the food indicate the importance of appearance to the educated consumer. Sushi is a work of art as much as a food, and while it is now available in a western 'quick and easy' serving style, the traditional ways are far from lost.

Answer 3

I love sushi. It is one of my favourite foods. The taste and texture of all the different types of fish are completely different.

The idea of raw fish can be offputting to start with. When trying it for the first time you should probably stick with the basics - tuna and salmon are a good place to start. Also, rolls are easier to deal with at the beginning.

The thing to bear in mind is that sushi is a very sensual food and you should be looking to experience not just the taste, but the look and texture.

Finally, don't be afraid to pick up the pieces of sushi with your fingers if you have too much difficulty with the chopsticks - this is a perfectly acceptable way to eat it. Oh, and be sure to pick a good restaurant to start with. The difference between okay sushi and great sushi is huge.

Answer 4

Yes, and I would try it again.

There's no limit to what flavours it "usually" has. It can be anything from spicy to sweet.

I live in an asian country,and they open up Japanese foodstalls here.Sushi is delicious,and even though it's raw, it's safe to eat, there's no bacteria.

The rice the japanese cultivated ,which is used in the sushi, is low in fat and tastes great, and it's sticky, so you don't drop it all over the place when you bite it.

The ingredients used are all very healthy, and they use stuff such as raw fish, omelette, crabsticks, octupus , cheese in some types,and many others. They're having an increasing variety over time, and it keeps getting better.

Answer 5

Back in the old days we used to drop $60 on the table for a sushi lunch. It's addicting, it's good, it's expensive. I first ate sushi in Okinawa back in 65 when I was on R & R from Viet Nam. I liked it then and I still like it today. You should some, there are rolls and raw and cooked fish served with wasabe (hot mustard) and soy sauce.

Answer 6

Japanese foods are one of the healthiest in the world. 70% of the diet are made up of fish. This is one of the reason for them to live up till 100yrs old. And they never put on weight too. Sushi is basically raw fish which is very tasty when u have it with the special sauces they have.

Answer 7

I love it, if you are scared of eating the fish try a vegetarian version first, but try it with the wasabi and pickled ginger then dip it in the soy sauce. It is really delicious. The ones with crab and smoked salmon are great, the fish is sweet, the wasabi is hot, the ginger is zingy, the soy is salty, it's a perfect combination.

Answer 8

I eat it just about everyday, if I can afford it. It's delicious and healthy. There's nothing wrong with eating raw fish, in fact once you start it feels like a waste of fish to cook it.
The flavours and textures of various fish are quite varied and it's fun to try as many as possible. My favourite is Salmon.

Answer 9

i admire sushi, there are all types. i think of a few human beings get freaked out via the belief of eating uncooked fish, not all sushi has uncooked fish in it, some does yet not all. uncooked fish is oftentimes sashimi yet sushi can get created from quite some issues besides fish.

Answer 10

Yes I have eaten sushi, and it tasted great.

If I could afford it I would buy it everyday, although I have made it at home also.

Answer 11

It's one of my favourite food! Start with cooked stuff first and if you dare, you can try those with raw stuff like salmon etc.
