Do You Like Sushi?

How do they answer their phone?

Never tried that Sushi.. I've been to a couple of Japanese restaurants, where they cook the stuff right there in front of you. Typical rice and chicken, shrimp etc.. that kind of stuff.

I guess they don't have fortune cookies in Japanese restaurants ?

Many Japanese resturants here are owned by Korean Americans and serve Chinese fortune cookies. Go figure. It may be best to think of most Japanese resturants as Asian resturants in general, at least in the states. Then it all makes sense. No matter who makes it, I loves it! (as long as they are good at making it)

I hear puffer fish make good Sushi. It you eat the right amount you will get some kind of high from it and if you eat to much you will die While in Sushi cutting school they must eat there own Sushi and like I said one to many puffer fish and it's all over. I have not notice a shortage of Sushi guys with the funny little white paper hats ?

I like the soft shell crab and the crunchy roll. I love the Edamame (boiled soybeans) with a bit of soy. Now I do not like Smelt Eggs or Eel (Unagi) at all ! My wife Mrs. Snow Man will not even try it but girls have a right to be girls.

I have made my own sushi a few times and I get my supplies here:

There are several kinds of Roe used in the restaurants, but two are the most popular. The cheaper of the two is the one you mention, Capelin (Smelt) Roe which is called Masago. A similar roe but much better in my opinion is Flying Fish Roe called Tobikko. This is slighty smaller and crunchy and flavorful and makes a good "accent" with tuna. But I'm not much into Battleship sushi (Gunkan maki) where the Roe is the main feature.

Here are two good tuna receipes just as an unrelated side note:

Yes I saw that on TV once. Apparently it costs the customer quite a large amount of money to be served this potentially fatal 'delicacy'. I wouldn't touch FUGU if my life depended on it! (pun intended) But if I did eat it and survived, I would likely be broke!
