S is for Sushi

[mandysee_mandydo]

My sushi experience is very limited. I've only ever had sushi at the place in Concord, NH, the cheap stuff at Hannaford and the sushi at Thai Smile. I will say it's very nice having a place that does good sushi here in Plymouth because it's not the boring, usual foods one usually finds here and it's very tasty. So far I've had California Roll (imitation crab, cucumber & avocado), Plymouth Roll (shrimp, cream cheese & avocado), Salmon Tempura Roll (salmon tempura & avocado), Tuna Roll, Spicy Crab Roll (real crabmeat, avocado & spicy sauce) and Crispy Sushi (smoked salmon, crabmeat, cream cheese, spicy sauce & scallion). I don't think there has been one yet that I haven't really enjoyed, but then again I tend to have fairly indiscriminate taste in food.

I'm trying to get painted_wolf to try the Spider Roll (soft shell crab tempura, avocado, green leaf lettuce, cucumber & smelt roes) with me but she gets hung up on the smelt roes. In addition to the sushi, I want to try the nigri and sashimi at some point.

Haha, I always get hung up on the Spider roll because of th legs sticking out! I actually really like the roe, especially flying fish roe (tobiko). My usual favorite is the Philly roll, which has salmon, cream cheese, and avocado. I've had quite a few other good ones too.

I've seen the Philly roll but haven't tried it yet. I'll definitely have to do so!

salmon, tuna, white tuna, and striped bass are all good as nigiri or sashimi.

Avoid at all costs the "uni". "unagi" (eel) however tastes great. One of my favorite rolls is unagi/avocado.

I LOVE SUSHI

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll make sure to start with those when I try nigiri or sashimi. :)

I think one of the coolest things about this post is that before I knew that Thai Smile had a big menu full of stuff I'd like to try, but I was in a rut of mostly getting the usual stuff. Now I'm eager to try some more new food!
