NGL I don’t like sushi but that fried sushi looking pretty appetizing.
Try tempura if you find yourself at a sushi place. You’ll probably like it
Or the cooked rolls, like deep fried California rolls… Or aburi-- That’s regular sushi (big slab o’ fish on rice) but flame-seared.
I’ll eat the raw kind all day, but the cooked ones are extra nice IMO.
Aburi is the goddamn bees-knees!
I also like the regular rolls, but aburi kicks shit into high gear
Deep fried or fried sushi is definitely a thing and its real good if you are not a sushi purist. I think Russian sushi places like to do that, haven’t seen it quite so often outside of Russia though.
Theres a chain of all you can eat kinda fusion sushi bars around where I live. Trapper’s Sushi. Actually ate there today. I swear their best rolls are flash fried and smothered in various sauces or scallops with spicy mayo.
If you’re a sushi purist you’ll consider it a complete abomination but oh my sweet lord it’s sooo good.
Agreed! We have those here too and they’re great. I’m not purist, just want something yummy!
Shrimp tempura roll is probably the gateway sushi roll for you then. That or maybe BBQ eel, which is also cooked and tastes delicious.
And the most important thing to remember is where you’re getting the sushi, and it’s freshness. If you’re buying grocery store sushi that’s been in the cooler since 7am, then yeah, it’s probably not gonna be great.
This is raw food we’re talking about, so you gotta be sure you’re going somewhere legit. At least that’s my opinion. You want to see them rolling it in front of you. If you go in regularly, the chef may even gift you with random dishes to try. It’s a cool experience.
But if you find a good place, man there’s nothing like a piece of high quality raw tuna. Taste, texture, everything. And I hate seafood in general. Cooked seafood, I guess. Traditional cooked fish is not my thing, but give me sushi any day.
And if you’re getting sushi rather than just sashimi, the rice is also SUPER important.
Location really matters with Japanese food.
This is blasphemy but on second thought it looks kinda nice.
A local “Chinese” restaurant does this. Leftovers of the evening are fried and served as part of the lunch buffet the next day.
Honestly, I was with you until the last part. Serving the next day? Naw fuck that.
Well, if it’s deep fried it’ll kill any bacteria and be delicious. Better than wasting food.
That crispy rice is going to be really good though!
But those rolls don’t have any fish… they’re just avacado.
This dude is straight up frying avocado and rice
