I usually get specialty rolls, depends on the place.
The really good places will make awesome spcialty rolls and then I will most likely order those. (I will post a picture of this amazing K-Roll at my fav sushi place in NYC... INSANE)
But specialty aside, my go-to staples are always Spicy Tuna - Hand Roll, Toro (if available), Sake, Hamachi (yellow tail), Unagi/Anago (Eel- only in season), Tai (Red Snapper) tako (octopus) - Honestly I love them all...
but I'll get the 'exotic' stuff only in cold months (in season)
whats yours?![]()
Mine would have to be, Unagi (it has such a tasty flavor), Spicy tuna, Sake, toro, and the spider roll (I know, its not traditional, but I'll be damned if it isn't super tasty).
I've had Uni which I don't think was at its freshest when I got it. It was alright but not my thing, I'd give it another try at a better rated sushi restaurant.
I think about the only thing that made me gag was the Muscle (I don't even know the word for it, Mirugai?). I have a pretty strong stomach, but that just about made me color the table with my stomach lining.
I'd like to try some of the Tomago and Tako. But the place I go to never seems to have the ingredients for them.

Getting tons of stuff ready for the Indecent Designs booth I'm going to have at a free two-day metal fest this weekend.

Justin you inspired me to ditch my original dinner plans of pesto-salmon and get sushi
Tonight I had Spicy Tuna Hand Roll, Sake, Boston Macarel and Yellow Tail.
(accompanied by misso soup and sea-weed salad my sushi chef added free because I go there a lot)
Also: I agree: sushi has to be fresh... I got sick a few times and it's the worst feeling in the world... seriously.. I do not wish this for my biggest enemies.
Tako is wonderful (has to be fresh, or else tastes like rubber) and Tomago is OK... not a big fan of the egg sushi.
I dedicate tonight's sushi for you, Justin!![]()
I gotta be honest I'm not really digging the lineup this year because I'm not familiar with any of the bands except Witchaven and Abysmal Dawn. I'll probably go out to support and pass out cd's since I won't be working my new job yet though and don't have anything to do. That's awesome you'll have a booth though, if I do make it I'll definitely check it out even though I don't think I need any girl style metal clothes haha
