Lovers? Haters? I have a craving for sushi tonight – California Rolls (I know, it’s cheating) and something with Salmon sounds really good.

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!I LOVE sushi!!! Especially any roll with smoked salmon or lobster in it! Tuna is also a favorite. I love trying new rolls. 😀 😀 😀 😀
I love sushi!
But, I do my very best to stick to the Seafood watch, because very sadly we (humans) are really causing serious harm to the oceans right now, and it’d break my heart to contribute to it. Right now they say that unless we stop that all bluefin tuna fish will be gone by next year, for example 🙁
Here’s a guide:

My art: featherdust.comI ADORE sushi. I need to make some at home at some point, so I can show my mom that there are other things besides raw fish for sushi (sushi really just refers to vinegared rice anyways, and much of the original sushi eaten long ago were pickled items).
Thanks for that link Jen! I know I have a little card I carry with me, though it is hard sometimes when places don’t list or mention where they get their fish from, especially if there is a language barrier. 🙁

Some of the best ‘make at home’ sushi that I can make (I cannot get sushi fish here, sadly, where I live so I must use other things) I learned from Melody. Bacon sushi! No, really! Cook your bacon, I like to use the oven with aluminum foil, so that it’s done but not super crispy. Just so it’s still flexible. Pat the bacon off lightly so there is not a lot of grease. And use that as a filling! Especially good when combined with avocado! I’m not joking, it’s really quite good.
Also easy to make at home if you can’t get sushi fish:
-Philly rolls: Avocado, cream cheese (lowfat works great if you’re cutting the fats down in your diet), and smoked salmon (check the package, it’s really easy to get wild Alaskan salmon in smoked form). Hint: Stick the cream cheese in the freezer for 10 or 15 minutes before cutting it so that it slices neatly!
-cooked fresh shitake mushrooms
-if you like asparagus, broiled asparagus then cooled is a good filling.
-avocado is always a winner!
-“Fake” spicy crunchy tuna. Use canned light albacore and mix to your liking: sesame seed oil, “rooster” sauce, lowfat mayo, panko breadcrumbs.
– cucumber!
– California rolls of course are easy to make at home.By the way: Bacon sushi is the way I introduced my very traditional parents to sushi and to their surprise they found they liked it! Now they will hesitantly try some of the other kinds.

I understand all too well! Usually you have to ask because most places don’t label the seafood origins. Even then, often the waitstaff aren’t sure or there is indeed a language barrier. (“Is this wild caught salmon?” “Yes, salmon.” “But is it wild caught or farmed salmon?” “Yes, sake… salmon” happens all too often. x_x I wish I had a better grasp on language so I could ask properly..!!) I do my best to be safe. At least with a few species on the list you know they are off limits no matter what their origin (bluefin tunas! 😥 ).

My art: featherdust.comOMG…. bacon sushi? That sounds AWESOME. Hehe… guess the Sh*ttake sets off the ‘mooseberries’ to show up. *lol*
Yeah, Tuna is the hard one for me. I love Tuna (and O-Toro), but there are other species of Tuna out there that are also tasty and not quite on the verge of extinction, like Albacore. I wish that some of those other species would be used more. I’d like to know if what I order is in that yellow list versus the red list. Salmon I’ve seen listed on some menus the source, which is nice, but it can be hard sometimes.
Koishii, umi is good (I’m certain I ordered that before). 🙂

i love umi 😀 koishii thinks it’s strange though 😉I’ve never tried Umi – now I’m going to have to go look it up!!
Thanks for the link Jen, luckily I did find out that my favorite sushi place uses AK wild salmon for the rolls that I get the most often 🙂
I’ve been on a real sushi kick lately too, I know I shouldn’t eat too much of it but it’s too yummy!!

My art: featherdust.comI’m allergic to anything even remotely fishy/seafoody. Though I have heard there is vegetarian sushi and it would be interesting to try, but never been able to find any.

Most places that serve sushi will serve veggie sushi too. Sushi actually refers to the rice, not the fish! Avocado, cuccumber, asparagus, sh!take mushroom, and carrot are some of the more common veggies you can get in sushi.
Alternatively, veggie sushi is very easy to make at home!
