anyone tried sushi?
I have. I didn’t like it. 
I literally couldn’t swallow the stuff.
i tried it for the first time.
felt a bit.. yukcy.
but it was ok.
somehow i thought it would be nicer!
depends on how fresh it is and if you know the correct way of eating it
I prefer shashima over sushi, cant stand those rice.
Its an acquired taste. You are not likely to like it the first time, anyway, so if you didn't, don't think you are the only one.
Anchal aunti you mean shashimi. Sushi is awesome...it is healthy, tastes great and is less filling. No wonder the Japanese live the longest and healthiest lives in the world.
well I got it from Marks & Spencers - it was very fresh.. and it was ok. just had the image built of something else.. like you pop it in your mouth and dunno 
as for the correct way of eating it - it does go in your mouth rite?
You put a little shaved piece of ginger root on top. Then just a tiny dab of green wasabi. Top it off with a splash of Soy sauce. Pop it in your mouth. 
First timers should start with the following fish: Salmon, Red Snapper or Tuna.
Don’t go for the eel, octopus, fish eggs, and stuff like that. Work yourself up to those things.
What made me literally throw up was the one that is wrapped in rice. Yuck, how disgusting for me. It was freshly made too. Just not my cup of tea, or should I say, bowl of biryani!
Things that are wrapped up in rice are not really sushi for us real sushi lovers. 
Those things are called various kind of “rolls.” California rolls, Philadelphia rolls, and other kinds of rolls.
Sushi is actually the raw fish piece placed on top of a glob of white rice.
Shashimi is the raw fish pieces by themselves (no rice glob underneath).
Like Anchal, I really prefer shashimi because you get the full flavor of the fish undiluted by the rice. But if I’m going to eat nothing but sushi/shashimi for dinner or lunch, I get a combination because the rice makes it a more filling meal.
I just wanna let everyone know that Japanese people don't use Basmati rice.
p.s: I like mine with wasabi & off course ketchup!
I really liked sushi.
Mat its called sashima or wahtever here.
Right way is to first get some ginger pickle in your mouth and get the correct portion of soya sauce mixed with wasabi, I dont like soya just the wasabi and let the wasabi burn the back part of your mouth while you enjoy the taste of fish on your tongue.
eww yuck
raw fish wrapped in sea weed? no thank u
i cant stand the stuff :yukh:
Yeah, take his advise. I couldnt eat it, now I love it. I have to have it atleast once a week, and once you get used to it you know whats good sushi and whats not. I love sashimi too, and you guys its sashimi not shashimi. hehe
I still cant eat the octopus coz its tasteless and too chewy but I like eel - its my favourite and ikura…the fish eggs are okay once in a while.
I swear nothing tastes as good as raw fish sliced the right way, you truly appreciate the flavour of the fish!
And seaweed is very good for your health, it has all these minerals that you cant find in any other food.

Ahmadjee Bhai,
Get over the Basmati Rice Phobia!! and for once I think the Ketchup would work (Not with the rice but the Fish)

Just the Idea of eating raw or steamed fish turns me off, what is fish now a carrot or an apple???
No wonder you named yourself “Cat-Woman”.
i love it too
hated sushi teh firsttime i had it at age 16, did nto touch it until I was 28, and have been eating it since then.
One reason why not many people eat sushi .. I think eating it occasionally may be ok but regularly a definite no.
*Diphyllobothrium latum, the broad fish tapeworm.
This is the largest (up to 18 m = 60 feet!) tapeworm found in humans. It requires three hosts in order to complete its life cycle:
a microscopic freshwater crustacean, Cyclops
a fish (that eats Cyclops)
a human (that eats raw or undercooked fish, e.g., sushi)
A single worm may discharge up to one million fertilized eggs into its host’s feces each day.
Historically, human infection has been most common in countries along the Baltic Coast and in the Great Lakes region. But the growing popularity of sushi and sashimi made of raw Pacific salmon has caused infections by the fish tapeworm to become more common throughout the U.S.* Tapeworms
