Sushi. Are You a Fan?

Ask a Question

We tried sushi for the first time today and I really didn't enjoy it. And it's so expensive.

I just had some raw salmon and I was nearly sick in my mouth.

Does anyone here on LD like it?

Yeah i do like sushi quite a lot but the salmon on rice one isn’t my favourite. It’s not the cheapest though i agree

jms19 I bought it through To Good To Go and I believe that Yo! get rid of their stuff the same day that it's made.

I thought that I'd give it a go, but it's just not for me.

Nope. Wouldn’t touch it. I do like smoked salmon in sandwiches though with lemon or on starter melon. I didn’t like it the first time but acquired the taste after 2-3 times and really like it now.

I do like it but think it's an acquired taste! True - can be expensive. Prefer to make it myself 😃

My husband loves it but not me. The best dish for cold rice is in rice pudding not served with raw fish.

I prefer kimbap over sushi - it’s the Korean version which usually has meat, which I think goes better. I prefer sashimi over sushi - I appreciate the concept and the art, but it’s not for me

hspexy I didn't know kimbap is the 'korean' version. I had thought sushi referred to raw seafood types of food and that Japan had their version of seaweed rice roll - I didn't realise it's also referred to as sushi.

In kdramas, sometimes they go to raw seafood restaurants, where there's giant plates of just raw seafood - I thought that was their sushi.

hky sushi refers to the rice part of the food item, not the fish or raw ingredients. Sashimi would be the raw seafood ingredients that can be eaten on their own. There’s loads of varieties of rice dishes across east Asia

I absolutely love sushi. I recommend you try again. The word sushi actually means sour rice and it’s not the raw fish. Try vegetarian ones or chicken ones. The best ones are on the counter in Waitrose and sometimes they let you try before you buy.

No I am not a fan of sushi. I have never tried it and never would. It's just another overpriced fad which has taken off in the UK for those who want to appear different and have something to talk about. I am sure that some people do actually love it, but come on it's a perfect thing for attention seekers.

I'm not a sushi fan, never have been. My husband enjoys it though. He will buy it from Lidl when he sees it reduced but doesn't pay full price for it.

Not for me raw fish, thou they do also do a plant/vegetable based version and some of that is quite nice.

I bought a sushi making kit from Amazon and make my own homemade sushi. The family like the homemade sushi as I make it with different fillings. It can be a faff to make sometimes, so I make the sushi about once a month.

Sugarbabe Well done you. I absolutely love sushi but can be expensive. I will definitely look at getting a kit. I think my daughter would enjoy making it.

This is my sushi I purchased yesterday. My favourite was the spicy prawn dragon rolls. Was not keen on the salmon one, was really fishy.

I love sushi. Sainsburys include sushi as part of their £3.75 and £5 meal deals. So, you can get a sushi tray, drink, and snack for £3.75 or £5 for the upgraded deal. As far as I know, sainsburys is the only major supermarket to offer it in the meal deal

I'd like to like it since it's probably pretty healthy in terms of the seaweed, but I really don't like seaweed or raw foods.

I had raw salmon Tesco sandwich once - the tiny bite test of raw fish texture was too slimey and chewy, I think I just skipped the chewing and microwaved the rest of it.

I absolutely love it but don't have it as nearly as much as I would like as my partner is not a huge fan of cold food. I love seafood though so that probably helps as to why I like it so much 🙂
