Hey OT,
Would you mind pointing out what's what in that pic (aside from the seaweed & rice)?

I'm a sushi/sashimi noob and just don't know...

[/ QUOTE ]

from top left in this order:
"hamachi, negitoro, kanpachi, some gari, and some seaweed salad"

Mitsuwa sells sashimi in a package so you don't have to buy a fresh fish and cut it up urself. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. I'm not sure how many Mitsuwa supermarkets there are in the states but if u live in ny or nj, there's one in fort lee, nj and it's an awesome place to get japanese food.

The names were left-to-right, and top-to-bottom, so the fish is hamachi, negitoro, and kanpachi in the top row, and the gari (pickled ginger) is at the lower left.

[/ QUOTE ] Where do you think Japanese restaurants in ATL get their fish?

[/ QUOTE ]

food service companies that bring it in from else where. I don't want to place a 20+ lbs order.

I have looked at Ranch 99 (asian meat/seafood/produce market) and a) i didn't see sushi grade fish, and b) I wouldn't trust it from the looks of their seafood/meat sections.

don't get me wrong, I know there are places to order from if I want it that bad, but usually preparing a special meal is not something I plan more than a day at most in advance. Plus even then its semi-bulkish for a sushi dinner for 2-4 ppl.

Dear God do not attempt to get "sushi-grade" anything at Ranch 99! First, it's mainly Chinese stuff, second, the whole point to the place is it's super cheap and not necessarily the best quality meats / fish.

Here are Mitsuwa Marketplace Locations.

You can also always just go to your local fish marketplace and follow the sushi chefs around.

OT - that looks awesome, Ima gonna try it out.

YDFM is great. Cheap variety of great produce, cheap variety of spices, expensive ecclectic sauces, variety of cheeses, variety of butcher shop meats, variety of deli meats, variety of seafood.

To be honest, sushi grade fish is probably not as stable there as I'd like; they often don't happen to have any. Everything else on my list is there every time, and worth a trip. I buy the majority of my groceries there, since I live about 10 minutes away.

P.S. I have no idea what "Your Dekalb Farmers Market" has to do with Farmers.

I gotta go back there and try and find some of those purple yams that they were serving on Okinawa. They had good flavor, and were a really nice color. If they have them, I'm going to churn out a purple cheesecake!

Skunk - Chinese are so dirty and cheap [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Korean supermarkets are, for the most part, much better organized and cleaner I'd say.
