OP, what region are you from? I remember sushi being really cheap in Sydney and it was considered a go-to for students. But here in the States it’s more expensive and (at least in Dallas and Denver) you don’t really want to go to anything less than a sit-down restaurant for it.
I live in Australia, sushi shops are everywhere in our cities. You can get a hand roll for around $3-$4.
Three hand rolls for $10 is a cheap lunch here.
Midwest US it’s more like $10 for a single crappy fake crab roll, $20 for a good roll. But hey, we have, uh, corn.
Are these dollarydoos? I mean it’s cheap even if USD, damn, here we can really just get it delivered, and then it’s like 20/25€ per person kind of thing for run of the mill sushi. I think some of the more expensive supermarkets sometimes have small boxes but these are gross and not that much cheaper.
Still, I’ll always remember checking out the sushi stand at Mexico airport and figuring out after checking my conversions that they were 7/8$ PER SUSHI! I stopped complaining about my local prices after that.
I was gonna say where in Mexico would they charge that much, but an airport is always the priciest place for the most mid of meals. But I like how big Chinese and Japanese food has gotten in Mexico last I visited. Got my fill of sushi and enough to take back to others for 15 USD and it was delicious. I always buy snacks or meal before getting to an airport, those prices are always robbery.
Sushi must’ve nene invented by a poor student
“Man, I’m hungry. What do I have left? Let’s see… cold rice, soy sauce, a few small chunks of fish from yesterday and there’s some seaweed growing in the fish tank? There has to be a way to turn this into something!”
In Japan, sushi is definitely one of the more expensive foods. You can’t really use yesterday’s fish as authentic sushi uses fresh fish which you can’t eat the next day for obvious reasons.
Uhh what? Sushi is cheap as fuck in Japan (compared to north America at least … and tastes way way better).
And nearly all sushi is caught weeks before it is served. Although it is kept frozen until then.
People started putting all kinds of fillings into sushi like chicken, beef, sausages, vegetables and whatnot. So… fresh fish ain’t a requisite for sushi anymore.
I make sushi weekly.
I’ve had thanksgiving sushi - turkey, rice, cranberries and breenbeans
Pizza sushi - rice pepperoni, pizza sauce and cream cheese
Normal fish sushis
Burger sushi, old burg meat, tomato, lettuce and cucumbers
Also made special sushi for my dog that had rice and various scraps of meat/chicken feet etc…
It’s literally endless. It’s 100% my new sandwich sin e I’ve stopped buying all breads
I don’t think I could ever get sick of sushi!
Anyone on here like supermarket sushi?
oddly yeah. it’s not as good as the real deal shops but if I get a random urge or if I am strapped for time for lunch/dinner, i’ll go pick up one of the 15$ multi packs the place around me does
does enough for me to fulfill the craving for another few days when it pops back up again 😂
It’s fine… I mean of course it’s worse than home made and from most restaurants but nothing terrible either.
Personally tbh no, I barely cook… but I know people do that’s why I said it.
Why is that so hard to believe? Sushi is pretty easy to make once you learn how to roll it.
So we can be hungry again in time for supper? Lol
But seriously sushi is amazing
