Favorite Sushi

[beamie]

Hey Chef,

The ship I work on visits the Guam/Saipan area quite often. This area fell in love with Spam during WWII and still is very popular. And yes they do make California rolls with spam inside...and not too bad.

My favorite is Fresh not fried spring rolls. Rice paper rolled rolled up with oriental fresh veggies inside with a peanut dipping sauce. . Kind of the healthy choice, not that I am a health nut.

As far as Sasimi I prefer the yellowfin, though IMO with the amount of soy sauce and Wasabi I like on it a piece of bluefish would foll me for tuna.

You ever try a hydrogen bomb its flying fish roe marinated in a wasabi sauce until it turns green then wrapped in a nigiri style roll Man its a killer but its good

I second the maguro..simple and delicious dipped in some soy sauce.

Thanks for all the input guys, keep it comin. Spam sushi, huh? Rob, a spider roll has a soft shell crab fried in tempura in it, not spider crab.

Do you guys mean nim chow , by fresh spring rolls? Nim chow is basically lettuce, vermicilli noodles, basil, mint, shrimp, mung, beans, and some veggies wrapped in rice paper. Its also ussally served with 2 vinegar sauces one with chili sauce and the other with peanuts. Im definetly gonna do some different seviche this season, i wanna do some striper this way. Im also working on a tuna tar tar that im gonna serve in a halved coconut on a bed of rock salt dressed with some sort of miso vinigret. We served swiper this past weekend for a special too. This was the first time ive tried it, was good tasted same as pure bred, very $$$$$ though , $11.95lb wholesale skin on.

For something very light and tasty use fresh scallops, Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise, flying fish roe (tobiko) and a touch of finely chopped green onions (just the green parts).

Mix the mayo with a little of the tobiko and green onion. Then dice up the scallop(s) and mix in just a little of the mayo mix to hold it together. Then finish it into a temaki (handroll). The handroll is best for a soft filling like this, is quicker than a regular maki roll and look cool, like a snow cone.
