yeah me no eatting any chicken sashimi either!! ;) :D

I like duck, quail, chicken, tuna, beef, pork, shrimp, crawfish, catfish, heck, if it walks, crawls or swims, I'm game!! :D My position is this. Some things are best eatten cooked, and some things are best eatten raw. Either extreme could be hazardous to your health. ;)

rhertz I had the rainbow roll last night and tried something new. The caterpillar roll with spicy tuna and avocado on top with a orange colored sauce that was very spicy. Love that sushi :clap:

A few photos of Bluefin Tuna and yes they go to auction. Bluefin are the largest of the tuna family and get up to 1200 pounds. Japan and Australia are in a nasty fight over how many are being harvested.

You mean to say Chicken Lady :laugh:

Love that sushi. Tuna and Salmon I like and soft shell crab too. That naked chicken looks like those naked rats on the other thread :eek:

After reading all of this and seeing the pics posted, I think I will never eat any kind of meat or fish again. Thanks for totally grossing me out. LOL

I think he wants to keep all the sushi to himself! Good service with no waiting. :D

Hey good news! My mother actually found some edamame today so I didn't have to go out and search again. But the ones we got were frozen and in a bag, not in the pouches like my friend had, so they didn't taste as great. But i'm still happy.

Speaking of Sushi, I plan on getting some for my birthday in August, where is the best place (priced as well) in town to get some do you think?

Hands down you need to go to Ichiban on Youree Drive. I had a new one this weekend and it is called the Youree Roll with spicy tuna and some red hot sauce on the top it is also called the caterpillar roll. Why wait until August ????

I think all the sushi places in town get their ingredients from the same supplier, but I second the Ichiban recommendation.

joepole, I know a sushi chef in town and I asked him if his supplier was local (such as farmers seafood) and he replied "negative". However I think the chefs all know each other, and your statement may well be true for all I know.

I think that Shogun Bossier, Sushi-Ko, and Ichiban are all pretty good compared to the rest.

I have not tried Sushi-Ko how was it ?? Price and taste ? now rhertz just because they do not have bluefin tuna belly does not make them bad :rolleyes:

LOL, I've never had bluefin toro in my life, but I hope to someday... :D

As for Sushi-ko, I liked the nigirizushi. I hear they fly some of their fish in. When I went (just once) the tuna was a darker Ahi rather than a bright red yellow fin and it was good. But I did not like one of their fancy items called a "spicy tuna thing". I thought I liked anything with spicy tuna but I was wrong.

Isaacs early attempts at Sushi :laugh: I have improved a bunch since then and I hope to post more updated photos later.

I wouldn't eat sushi from a non-local supplier. No restaurants around here do enough business to warrant daily trucks from anywhere out of town.

I don't think any restaurants received daily deliveries of fresh fish. I could be wrong but I think it is more like 2 or 3 deliveries per week. The trucks travel throughout a regional area (Dallas, East TX, NW LA, etc.)

Not sure that I would trust Gus Majalis for my sushi... :D

I'm waiting til August because it's my birthday and I want to go get some on my birthday. I've never been to a sushi bar and my main concern is the cost. If I was going to be able to afford this every once in a blue moon i'd rather do it on a special occasion, like my birthday.

A good sushi roll is about 12.00 so treat yourself tonight :D
