What are your favorite sushi !? :yarr:

Nigiri
Small rice balls with fish, etc. on top. There are countless varieties of nigirizushi, some of the most common ones being tuna, shrimp, eel, squid, octopus and fried egg.

Gunkan
Small cups made of sushi rice and dried seaweed filled with seafood, etc. There are countless varieties of gunkanzushi, some of the most common ones being sea urchin and various kinds of fish eggs.

Norimaki
Sushi rice and seafood, etc. rolled in dried seaweed sheets. There are countless varieties of sushi rolls differing in ingredients and thickness. Sushi rolls prepared "inside out" are very popular outside of Japan, but rarely found in Japan.

Temaki
Temakizushi (literally: hand rolls) are cones made of nori seaweed and filled with sushi rice, seafood and vegetables.

Oshizushi
Oshizushi is pressed sushi, in which the fish is pressed onto the sushi rice in a wooden box. The picture shows trout oshizushi in form of a popular ekiben (train station lunch box).

Inari
Inarizushi is a simple and inexpensive type of sushi, in which sushi rice is filled into aburaage (deep fried tofu) bags.

Chirashi
Chirashizushi is a dish in which seafood, mushroom and vegetables are spread over sushi rice.

My favorite is salmon sashimi, but I will salmon nigiri too. Also love unagi (eel), amyabi(sweet shrimp), uni(sea urchin), and hotate(scallop).

There's like 6-7 sushi places in my town and it's only a square mile. 95% of it is nigri or rolls.

Big fan of fatty tuna, when it's good you don't even need to chew it, it just melts in your mouth.

Yellowtail sashimi is tasty too.

The crab consumé at the sake tasting I went to a few weeks ago was a challenge though. Kan-pai!

One of the places screwed up my order once and brought me a spicy tuna "hand roll" as opposed to a regular one. The ingredients were the same, but instead of rolling a tube and chopping it into edible pieces, it was rolled like a cone with a big scoop of spicy tuna in a ball on top and some more filling the center.

I ate it like an ice cream cone. :)

I too was of the attitude that why the heck would I want to eat raw fish, each day I walked past the sushi store and started thinking that they do look nice but they probably taste like crap.

One day I decided to give it a try thinking I won't like it but at least I gave it a shot, now I cant get enough of the blessid stuff.

ya, sashimi is good!! yum.

unagi is not compareable with sushi and sashimi...

we use unagi to make sushi :cow:

logic error...

and sashimi is not a type of sushi, so technically the poll is right.
