What is your favorite kind of sushi?

Asked by KNOWITALL (29896points) January 7th, 2014

This hasn’t been asked in years and the jellyfish question made me think it’s time for a re-visit.

What’s your favorite?
Can you make sushi?
Do you like seaweed salad or even just seaweed?
Do you like sake?

Not a huge fan. I typically order avocado rolls, which I love (with pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce). I’m a huge embarrassment at a sushi place.
We have made maki rolls in the past at home.
I do not like seaweed salad or sake.

Any that is on someone else’s plate.

Favorite sushi….hmmm that’s hard, generally I like the more plain rolls that way I get the full flavor of the fish and not all the other fillers. Spicy/crunchy rolls are always good though. My go to favorite though would probably have to be eel. Nice warm eel with that delicious sauce drizzled over it. YUM.

I can make sushi and have done it a few times but generally, unless you plan on making a lot it’s not worth all the trouble.

I LOVE seaweed salad

Don’t dislike sake but not crazy about it either. More than likely I just haven’t had good sake yet.

I LOVE salmon and the boring old California rolls, and like @tom_g I love avocado rolls, too. I’ll pretty much eat any of it though. Lots of delicious ginger and wasabi.

I bought a kit and ended up giving it away to my gf.

I hate seaweed and the salads.

I dislike sake as well.

Dumplings are the bomb diggety and I make some good hillbilly gyoza!

@KNOWITALL Do you get rolls without seaweed or something or are you just able to tolerate it in those quantities?

KNOWITALL's avatar

@uberbatman I tolerate it in small quanties and drown it in ginger and wasabi…lol

My cousin is half-Japanese and eats in in dry sheets and that girl slugs that sake like water, it’s nuts.

I couldn’t choose a favourite, but I tend to like the ones with roe. Mmm…crunchy-smushy fish eggs…

And I love to snack on the nori sheets.

Rarebear's avatar

Anything that is fresh.

@Seek_Kolinahr First time I had roe it was salmon roe and I remember thinking, if ice breakers made a salmon flavor then this is exactly what it would taste like :P

While I think nori tastes good I just can’t see myself snacking on them unless they’ve been dried to the point of crunchy, otherwise I feel it’d be a really odd consistency the whole time.

Seek's avatar

Before they’re on the rice, they actually are pretty crunchy.

Have you ever had kale chips? Those are really good, too.

El_Cadejo's avatar

@Seek_Kolinahr They are a bit crunchy yea, and then you get it into your mouth and it turns into this weird pasty thing that won’t dissolve :P

Uni, yellowtail, tuna, and just about any other kind. Love the stuff.

I love sushi. I think my favourite is unagi (eel) sashimi, but I like pretty much all of them. I also love seaweed – real wakame, not the “seaweed” you get as a starter in Chinese restaurants, which is basically just deep-fried lettuce.

I also love tempura, which is food (usually veg or fish) deep fried in a light fluffy rice-flour batter and served with a dipping sauce.

I’ve had nori chips, which are baked to be very crispy, but they’re also way too salty.

Not keen on sake, which I find is pretty tasteless, like most clear-coloured liquors.

Any of the special rolls lol. Except for the ones in the cone with all the eggs.

filmfann's avatar

I love a San Francisco roll, Godzilla roll… oh hell I love most sushis.

As a vegetarian, I’ve never eaten any of the fish filled varieties of sushi. But I love Tamago which is basically a cold egg omelette over rice, wrapped with seaweed (resembling a Japanese Geta)

I also love Inari which are rice filled soybean skin wrappers.

I like seaweed salad in small doses.

I don’t drink and have never tasted sake.

I’ve never attempted to make sushi. Looks too time consuming.

I prefer sashimi, and my favorite is Yellowtail or hamachi (NOT the cheap substitute oilfish).

are you guys worried about increased radioactivity in our seafood?

hearkat's avatar

I love sushi, and couldn’t pick a favorite, because each restaurant here has their own varieties. I do not like sea urchin, though. I especially like smoked salmon, peppered tuna, and shrimp tempura in my rolls. I also like when there is mango or kiwi in them that adds a different texture or flavor.

I love seaweed salad, and like it as an ingredient. There have been dishes I’ve tried where the seaweed flavor was too strong relative to the other flavors. Goya is one of my favorite foods of all time. I like the shumai dumplings, too.

I don’t drink anymore; but when I tried saki years ago, I didn’t like it.

We tried making seaweed back in the early 90s and were unsuccessful. We couldn’t get the rice to the right texture.

@jazmina88 Something has to kill me, eventually.

The very rare treat of sushi gives me enough enjoyment to offset the very minor danger of potentially dangerous fish.

Besides, I live in Florida. The last three times I ate sushi, it was made in my kitchen with a fish I killed myself. I’m reasonably certain that fish has never been within three thousand miles of a nuclear power plant’s leakage.

mangeons's avatar

My favorite kinds are a vegetable roll (avocado, carrots, cucumber, etc.) with brown rice and soy sauce or a Philly roll. Mmmm, I could really go for some smoked salmon and cream cheese right now…

I’ve never attempted to make my own sushi, and I’m not really a fan of seaweed outside of it being in sushi.
