school me on sushi/sashimi

[cruiseninak]

I have had sushi a couple of times and liked it. I don't get to eat sushi often and want to make sure that I am trying new stuff and preperations everytime. If someone has a link to another site I am more than happy to do my own reading. Or general advise etc.

Thanks

Pat

we just blackened Wahoo, raw in the middle like tuna, unbelievable like eating a top beef tenderloin.

Thanks for the help so far. Maybe I would find what I am looking for more if I rephrased. What are your go to rolls or all time favorites?

Thanks again

Rolls are for folks who don't really like sushi. Just sayin.

I am a newb to this so I am not trying to be a smart a$$. What should I be trying? What does a connoisseur order?

I'm no expert, and I don't pretend to be. The following are some fish I think most people would like: yellow tail, salmon, tuna, halibut, sea bream, opal eye, sea bass. Freshness is key. If the place is busy, that's a good sign. You want a place that goes through a lot of fish.

it's easier for me to list the stuff I don't like... octopuss (like eating a tire) and whitefish (made me sick once upon a time)

Freshness is key.

+1, if you're thinking of sushi or sashimi as a trail meal, you'd better have a good cooler/fridge and plan on eating it the first night.

Tune like that is awesome! Would like to try the wahoo.

I'm game to try most on that list. Would probably skip the salmon to avoid Nanophyetus salmincola , the parasite that causes salmon poisoning disease.

Another good sign is the absence of soy sauce on the tables and at the bar. That usually means the chef intends for you to eat it as he prepared it.

And it would suck.

I've never heard of this and I've been eating Sushi for over 25 years.

I've been to some fairly high end places in New England and maybe a resort or two, but every one has always had soy sauce at the table or bar.

im not a big tobasco guy.. can you taste the vinegary taste of tabasco in it or is it just salty heat??? If it's the latter, i'll give it a try.
