It’s Holly

Lately, I’ve been craving ahi sashimi like it’s nobody’s business. Sashimi, however (as all my sushi eaters know) is an expensive habit. It is, essentially, a cocaine habit in fish form. I recently found out that Whole Foods has a very nice sushi/sashimi collection. It’s not your every day supermarket sushi collection of philadelphia rolls and krab stuff. So, I made a trip last night and got almost a pound of sushi grade ahi. It came to about $20, for what would be about $40 worth of ahi at any decent sushi bar or japanese restaurant. Me and Moms cut it up last night and had us some at-home sashimi! It was great, and much cheaper. I could eat tuna/yellowtail/salmon sashimi every night!

I know not all of my loyal reader(s) eat sushi. It was either Josephine or Rommel that first got me into sushi. I think I gagged the first time I had a California roll. That’s what everyone starts with, right? The first time I had wasabi, I was told it was like japanese guacamole. Big mistake. After I stopped crying and my nose hairs grew back, I began to like it again.

Now I can’t even contemplate not having sushi or sashimi. Mmm mmm, bitches!! I know we just turned Krissi on to sashimi. As long as she thinks it’s seared, she’ll eat it (it’s still sashimi, girl). So, what was your first sushi experience? Do you even like sushi? How far will you go? Are you still at cooked stuff like California Rolls or are you the crazy one doing quail egg shooters at the bar with the sushi chef? Answer in the comments. <3
