About a month or so ago I mentioned to one of my co-worker friends that I've never had sushi before. (Well, I have, but it was at a horrible Chinese restaurant, and I don't really count that experience).
She's somewhat new to sushi also, but she literally lit up when I mentioned it. She said she hadn't tried any of the raw sushi. I told her that there was no way I was going to eat raw fish either, but I was willing to try some with cooked crab or shrimp or that kind of stuff that I like. I'm all about trying new food lately.
So, long story short we went this past week. Besides the normal language awkwardness that is pretty much protocall when ordering at a Chinese/Japanese restaurant, the whole experience was great. We ordered a California roll (which is crab and cucumber and other things I believe), an American roll (which was shrimp tempura, lettuce, and cucumber), Ugandi (something like that, which was a Japanese pickle... had to try that.... it's just a normal pickle pretty much) and another roll that I don't remember the name of, but it's EEL!
I wanted to try it since she said she had tried it already and it was really good. I trusted her, and I'm glad I did. EEL is great! It pretty much tastes like fishy...... chicken. Yep, tastes like chicken!
Mark off another one of my goals in life.... Eat sushi!
