i love love love sushi, has anyone attempted to try sushi since being banded..i dont know what i will do without it..i know it is too soon now but is there a chance once i am on solids????

The !st Sushi Place here just opened today so Sashimi here I come cannot wait.

Pricey place though what is the normal price run for Sushi.

They had 3 rolls of something for over $9.00 is that norm??

my place has a lunch special of 2 rolls and some miso soup for $7 so $9 sounds about right for 3 rolls... try the tuna avacado rolls they are the best... i am definatly trying sushi tonight..maybe just sahimi but definatly some sort of raw fish!!!

Bubbame, remember that a "roll" is cut into six or so pieces, so three of them would be probably more than you can eat. If you're eating just the fish--sashimi, which is sushi with no rice--you could eat maybe 8-10 pieces if they're smallish. Sashimi is more expensive because it doesn't have the rice and vegetable fillers, but it's SO worth it.

Thanks Alex

I think 1 roll will be plenty for me. Counting down till it's time for lunch or they open.

i had my sushi for dinner tonight yum!! the rice didnt bother me either...i just took little bites and chewed really well...i am so happy i dint have to give up my favorite food!!

Ok I tried Salmon wrap now I have never had Sushi in my entire life and it was very Good. A question the wrap it comes in do you eat that?? I sucked out all the rice and salmon from the middle and ate that. Now for the Sashumi they only had that on a salad plate and did not want to eat all the green stuff.

Ok now they served this shaved thing like orange stuff what was that??

Little dole of green stuff I thought it was Avacado but smelled it and no it was not Avacado smelled bad.

Going back to try the Avacado roll next time.

you are supposed to eat the whole wrap lol..the stuff on the plate that looked like orange was ginger...i dont care for it but some people love it, and the avacado looking stuff was wasabi mustard...good thing you didnt take a big forkfiull thinking it was avacado you would have been seeing stars....very hot!!!!!.. avacado rolls are good but try a tuna avacado roll they are even better... if you like spicy put just a dab of the wasabi on the roll..it is yummy!! and dont forget to dip it in the soy sauce thats what makes it!!

My boss asked you sucked what out of the wrap. He just looked at me a shook his head. Well I thought the outer end was pretty tough and was not meant to digest..

How funny:)

Now I know about the Green stuff.. I was driving and eating I cannot even imagine what would have happend had I ate the green stuff:)

Today I got the Avacado roll and can you believe 2 of the little rolls I am completley full. And that is that I am unfilled. Umm But is yummy seaweed and all:)

oh my gawd! I had visions of you taking a big bite of the wasabi! Sorry, but that was too funny! And I had to laugh at you sucking the stuffing out of the California roll... (that one has actual avocado)

I had some wonderful spicy tuna roll for lunch today, and I'm just laughing thinking about you and your experience!

This is my first experience with sushi since banding. I handled the everything just fine, but I was amazed that the wasabi was too strong and so was the ginger...

I'm not finishe with lunch, but I'm thinking about shucking the "wrapper" and the rice and just finishing the sashimi... mmmm sashimi

Shuck the wrapper and get the good stuff in the middle. I thought it was like a tamale you unwrap to get to the inside. LOL I have to go back and try the spicy tuna but it is so dang expensive that you want to eat the wrapper.

I'd never thought of them like tamles, but now that I do think about it, I can see how someone would think that.

I ended up taking them apart and just eating the sashimi out o the center. I was really, really difficult to not eat or at least save those last few bits, but I threw them out. Hurrah for me.

So, Mary, can I interest you in some "special" avacodo?

Be CAREFUL with those wraps, people!! They are seaweed and that was the cause of the very worst PB episode I ever had. When I get sushi I ask for sashimi, which is just the fish with no rice or wrapping. Yum, yum (I'm drooling just thinking about it). Go for the super white tuna. DELICIOUS!! :)

If you are going to take the seaweed off the outside, you could get nigiri sushi instead. It's the sushi where the fish is on top of the rice. Sometimes they put a tiny strip of the seaweed around it to hold it together, but that's it. nigiri means finger, and they call it that because the pieces look kind of finger shaped.

I didn't see this thread the first time it came around, but I had to laugh at the 'avocado' thing as well.

Sometimes people eat the ginger in between sushi pieces, to clear the palate. I like to put a little bit of the wasabi in my soy sauce and mix it up, instead of putting a little ball of wasabi on my sushi.
