The Sushi Craze
this post is in responce to the many sushi posts and most resently gildwulf's post about an expensive sushi meal with his parents.
kudos, gildwulf on your big win and treating the parents to a nice dinner. i dont understand why raw fish, rice, and vancy vegitagbles that i cant spell cost ~$100 each per plate. the thought of eating raw flesh is disconcerting. the closest i come to sushi is tuna from a can. im trying to improve my diet due to acid reflux. raw meat, damn. is sushi another one of those diets that fade away in a year like all the other fad diets? |

Re: The Sushi Craze
I must be out of the loop because I never realized that a sushi craze existed.
Sushi has never attained enough mass appeal to be called a fad. In conversations with many others over the years I would suspect that we sushi fans are definitely in the minority. Most adults have already determined their dining preferences and are not likely to change. |

Re: The Sushi Craze
Sushi will always be popular in places where it's good sushi, however the sushi joints in Iowa may suffer in the future.

Re: The Sushi Craze
There almost was a sushi fad in Germany (in my home city at least) at one stage, until those just eating it to be cool realized it was way too expensive just for showing off if you don't actually like the food.
I also agree with skandar that the quality of sushi is very important. I've been eating sushi in Cape Town on a regular basis (really fresh fish) but the sushi in Dublin sucks balls, and so do the prices. So, no more regular sushi for me. For now. |

Re: The Sushi Craze
not all sushi is raw. sushi technically is the rice part of the roll. but the meat can cooked or raw.

Re: The Sushi Craze
I will admit, seared Ahi is amazing...all the other crap is highly overrated.

Re: The Sushi Craze
I've had the gamut of sushi that exists in Nashville. I realize that gamut is not very long. I've also had one very expensive sushi dinner in San Francisco, and several pretty expensive sushi dinners in Buenos Aires.
The best sushi meals I've had, I would have paid more for. Saying that you don't get why an expensive place costs more than a cheap place is akin to saying you don't understand why a cheap steak place costs less than an expensive one. Its due to the ingredients, to some extent, and the preparation/presentation to another extent. There's an honest-to-god major difference in taste between a Kroger eel roll and a very good eel roll. |

Re: The Sushi Craze
I'm unaware of any Sushi craze. I am not aware of anyone eating just Sushi as a fad diet either, since while very healthy, it would be rather expensive and time consuming. That said, I love eating Sushi. Delicious stuff.
