I have only ever had sushi once and I LOVED the majority of it. The only kind I didn’t like had what must have been octopus, judging by the texture. I went to this place that had like a conveyor belt with plates of different stuff going around. It was perfect because I couldn’t actually know what sort of dudes I was eating, and therefore couldn’t really focus on that and get all disgusted. I didn’t have anything with fish eggs, because seriously, gross. I tended to pick the ones that I thought looked prettiest, and it was all rolls. For starters, go for the ones with the most rice to kind of ease into it, and then if you’re good with that, you can gradually decresase the amount of rice. One of my favorites was some sort of long squarish-almost red-streaked white meat thing on top of some little cubes of rice with seaweed tied around it all like the bow on a little present.

well, sashimi refers to the fish, sushi refers to the vinegared rice, and the rolls are maki.
i recommend the basic starter roll of california roll. the crab is cooked, it has cucumber and avocado. (typically it’s imitation crab meat which is made from cooked white fish) ask for it with sesame seeds and you probably will not like the roe.

second i would try a philly roll, typically salmon and cream cheese.

any of the shrimp rolls will have cooked shrimp in it. also tempura rolls have flash fried shrimp or veggies.

they will also make veggie rolls. i started with cucumber rolls, eventually tried a california roll, phily rolls, and then moved onto tuna sashimi. it took quite a while to move up to sashimi, and generally i only eat salmon or tuna.

As has been previously noted multiple times, the error belonged to your friends for trying to start you at such an advanced level. It is somewhat akin to a virgin having anal be her first sexual experience – there was no way it was going to be pleasurable. What? Too much?

I adore sushi but yeah I’m going to have to call a “Fail” on your friends tossing you right into the fancy, all-about-the-fish stuff.

These folks have obviously never seen a parent try to sneak veggies into the meal of a small child.

At least you had your beer…which is liquid bread…and thusly good for you.

The only thing that came close to making me vom while pregnant was the smell of clam chowder. Regular fish is bad enough. The thought of actually eating *raw fish* (raw fish, whose freaking idea was that, anyway?!) kind of makes me want to superglue my lips together. I am so not a fish person.

Holy Jesus. I love Sushi, but that food looked disgusting. That was supposed to change your life? How, by ending it? That looked highly suspect.
Like the Grinch, I would not have touched that crap with 39 1/2 foot pole. Thank God I’m not eating anything right now.

The whole concept of eating raw fish is weird. I’m sticking with french fries.
