What is your take on sushi? Like? Yuck?

As a kid, I did not like fish, raw or cooked. I got that from my dad who would not eat fish so my mom never cooked fish. The only sushi I liked was inari, which is nicknamed “football”, because it is just seasoned rice inside a fried tofu shell. Now, I love sushi. Any kind of raw tuna is my favorite. What is funny is that I don’t care for cooked tuna. For cooked fish, I rather have salmon. And I won’t eat raw salmon because of the worm issues. In summary, yes, I like raw fish.

My favorite food and I like pretty much everything. I lived next to a tiny Japanese mall in grad school that had an amazing counter that was very cheap and my roommate had gone to school in Japan, and it has stuck with me.

I love sushi (but truth be told, I love poke even more). Uni is the only kind of sushi I’ve had that I don’t care for. I don’t remember when I first had sushi, but we had it at our wedding 25 years ago, so it must have been well before that.

We werent raised on fish of any kind other than the really awful minced fish fish sticks of the 70s or fish and chips on rare occasion. As adults, we try to eat some fish, but sushi is not for us. I cant have raw fish due to an autoimmune disease, but Im sure we could try some cooked sushi. It just isnt something we seek out.

I LOVE almost all American sushi. I have never had authentic Japanese sushi, which, based on documentaries, I may not be as fond of. I could not eat a fresh octopus; it seems hypocritical, but here I am. And I would likely skip a few other sushi/sashimi delicacies.

We have sushi and/or sashimi about once a week. In our area, lunch is the best time to eat because most Japanese restaurants offer lunch pricing, which is very reasonable as a workday lunch option.

I probably would not go to a Sushi restaurant. There is an upscale grocery chain in MN where I will order sushi at their counter. We get a few different kinds to share. It’s good for a happy hour on the deck. I like it, but I don’t love it.

I like sushi but typically avoid the dishes with raw fish/seafood
eta: I first met sushi while living in Hawaii. Italy had introduced me to a variety of seafood that had not been part of my growing up menu. I grew up almost a thousand miles from the ocean so seafood at the time was very limited and expensive. I ate a fair amount of freshwater fish like catfish, perch and some trout. Shrimp was a Christmas treat and canned tuna was on rotation for sandwiches (mixed heavily with diced boiled eggs) 

wasabi is normally served to the side, not  an integral part that you can't avoid. So don't let the rolls and other sushi options put you off for the sake of wasabi.  In the US you will get the lableing or menu in English so you can see what has spicy sauces on it.

You do have to be careful. Many places out here will put the wasabi between the rice and the fish. And they will also give you even more on the side. I usually check, and if there is wasabi already on the sushi, I don't put any in my soy sauce.

Generally, at a sushi bar/restaurant, the rice is lukewarm to room temperature. It is not cold. But then, when you say cold, I think of refrigeration cold, which is what grocery store sushi rice is like.

Nopity nope nope nope.
Can't stand seafood, raw or cooked!

I do like wasabi, pickled ginger, etc, but NOT the main attraction.

Love it. I didn't grow up eating it in Omaha, obviously, so I'm not sure when I first tried it. It would have been well after we moved to Houston. I actually don't like all the extra stuff like spicy mayo - I want a really nice piece of fish with just a little flavor/seasoning from the sushi chef, on a little block of slightly warm, fresh sushi rice. (That said, I'll also happily eat a tray of grocery store sushi for something quick - I'm not a snob.)

Someday I'll splurge on the Omakase table at our favorite sushi place. I am an adventurous eater and would love to have a chef show me stuff I wouldn't necessarily have ordered for myself. DH hates sushi, so I'll have to find a friend who wants to splash out on that with me.

Also a huge fan of ceviche, which isn't "raw" in the same way but also isn't cooked with heat.

I only like california rolls. I don't like wasabi, I can't handle much spice at all.

I was just watching an old episode of King of Queens. Carrie's work husband told Doug, her real husband, that he and Carrie went out for sushi for lunch. Doug replied "good, that's one less time I'll have to go. Cooked cow better than raw fish."

No raw fish. It’s a texture thing. I also don’t like the flavor of sushi rice nor the seaweed wrap. My husband loves it all.

When we go out to sushi I always pick something cooked.
