I really enjoy going out for a fantastic sushi meal, but only on occasion since it can be quite pricey. Last week, I got really psyched to roll my own sushi, and went out on a quest to find all of the right ingredients. If you have the backbone of what you need to roll your own (sushi mat/roller, sushi rice, rice wine vinegar, wasabi powder, nori sheets, pickled ginger), then making it yourself is fairly inexpensive and a lot of fun. I started my quest of finding ingredients in Uptown, at the intersection of Argyle and Broadway. This is known as Little Vietnam (I know, a far cry from the sushi homeland of Japan, but I swear they have almost everything you need to make sushi).

I went to two stores, Hoa My Market on Argyle Street and Tai Nam on Broadway (they’re less than a five minute walk from one another). Both stores carry five to twenty pound bags of sushi rice (I think I paid less than $3 for a five pound bag), a ten pack of nori sheets for less than $2, large bottles of rice wine vinegar for less than $3 and wasabi powder for around $3.50. The pickled ginger, however, I could only find at Hoa My Market, where they had both the pink pickled ginger and the yellow pickled ginger. The difference between the two is that the pink ginger is slightly younger than the yellow. Some brands use beet juice to dye the ginger, if it is too mature during the pickling process. Hoa My doesn’t carry sushi mats, but Tai Nam had them for super cheap (I had to ask for assistance to find these, as they were hidden somewhere near the back of the store). Between both stores, I spent around $20 for the basic sushi ingredients that I needed. As for the fish, I chose to go to the trusty Whole Foods Market in Lakeview.

I’m a little unsure of purchasing fish at either of the markets previously mentioned, especially if I’m eating it raw (I’m pretty sure they don’t carry sushi grade fish at Hoa My or Tai Nam). Here’s the thing with Whole Foods and sushi grade fish - they don’t normally carry sushi grade, but they do take orders and can bring in whatever type you’re looking for, within reason. Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware of this until the guy behind the counter told me. By this point though, I was on a mission and wasn’t going to wait a day or two for a fish order. The next step was to sweet talk the employee at the sushi counter in the prepared foods section of the store. At the counter they had pre-packaged sashimi (thin slices of raw fish, not prepared into a sushi roll) priced a little under $10. Instead of buying that, I kindly asked the lady behind the counter if she had any fish that wasn’t sliced into sashimi and that she’d be willing to weigh out for me and sell. This lady was my hero for the day, because she sold me a lovely quarter-pound piece of tuna for a couple dollars less than the sashimi package.

Next time I go to buy fish, I probably won’t do this again (I don’t want the people at Whole Foods to catch on), but instead I’ll just order it ahead of time. There are also other local options such as Hooked on Fish and Wixter Market. As for the vegetables, I picked up a small cucumber, daikon radish and an avocado while I was at Whole Foods. I would’ve liked to buy some asparagus, but it’s not the right season for that.where to buy sushi ingredients in egypt After several hours of shopping, I was finally home with all of the ingredients I needed to roll sushi (including a couple bottles of sake, because you shouldn’t eat sushi without it). sushi maple ridge lougheedI made a spicy tuna roll (diced tuna fish mixed with a little sesame oil, Sriracha hot sauce, and sliced green onion), a tuna inside out roll (which I topped with a mixture of Sriracha and mayonnaise to add a little heat), and a couple of veggie rolls.sushi go round game download

Rolling sushi at home is a really fun activity and great practice if you want to look like a pro while entertaining in your home. Now that my kitchen is fully stocked with the backbone ingredients, it will be an affordable option to make more often.

As where Japanese reataurants get their sefood from is a wholesaler, who can't/won't sell to you as an individual. The best answer supplied was try a seafood retailer out at Mayport Fl. on the docks or ask around at local seafood markets. Or try Safe Harbor Seafood on Hecksher Dr. I believe most sushi type wholesalers are out of south Fl. thats why south Fl sushi places seem to have better grades of sushi than what you get here. 4,204 posts, read 4,599,024 times You can mail order it. BTW technically there is no such thing as "sushi grade." It's just a marketing term. You have to trust your supplier. And your supplier's supplier. Here's some info: The Sushi FAQ - What is sushi grade fish and Where Do I Buy It? Sorry I can't offer you a better suggestion locally.

I believe I've known people who would just go to a decent grocery store like Publix and use their fresh fish, but not positive about that. Originally Posted by projectmaximus The Sushi FAQ - What is sushi grade fish and Where Do I Buy It? That's a great website and the company Catalina Offshore Products is a great supplier of ''sushi grade'' seafood and accoutrement's. But most people don't realize that real fresh fish(never frozen) is not ''sushi grade'' that freezing is one step that's required in the sushi process to kill certain parasites. Even when I take my boat offshore and catch tuna and snapper the first thing I do is properly bleed them out, then immerse them in a slurry of near freezing ice water then take them home and freeze them quickly overnight. Then serve them only after they have thawed out almost immediately after all that. Just about all the salmon that you can get here from stores like Publix, Winn Dixie and from seafood markets is previously frozen except for the packs of Nova Lox which are smoked and lightly salted.
