Default Another sushi thread - how do YOU eat it?

Since I hate my job, and don't have much to do, I've been reading about many different sushi restaurants and their preparation styles.

I'd heard/read a couple of years ago about the finger-food nature of nigiri sushi in particular, and the traditional usage of the gari (pickled ginger). I've seen people do lots of different things in preparation for their meal.

Recently, my fiancee and I have been to a couple of fairly nice restaurants where we were either asked or told [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] not to dip certain pieces of sushi in anything else, as they were served with their own sauce.

So I'm wondering - how do you eat your sushi?

I use plain soy sauce because I don't like the horseradish taste of wasabi. I dip the fish side of nigiri with my hands because that's what I read you're supposed to do.

Eating sushi with the fingers is acceptable. This is why all proper sushi establishments will provide you with oshibori (moist towelette) before the meal, usually when you first sit down.

I use chopsticks, dip the fish side. Little bit of wasabi, save gari for in between sushi.

If I'm by myself, I'll use fingers. I've heard you're supposed to use fingers for sushi, but when I'm out with friends, everyone uses chopsticks.

AHHHH! Dipping rice side into soy sauce will cause it to soak up too much soy sauce, and overpower the flavor of the fish!!!!

everytime I try to dip the fish side first the whole thing falls apart. I try to dip the side that way I get soy sauce on the fish and rice. All you can eat sushi is a very good thing

Sometimes I like a little piece of ginger on top as well. Of course, I am an uncultured barbarian when it comes to sushi [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I take a bit of wasabi and place it directly onto the sushi before I eat it. I like my keep my soy sauce clean. I'm weird like that.

That's the point. The fish tastes fishy, and I pick which ones I like based on texture.

If your sushi tastes fishy, then you're getting bad fish.
