BECOME AN INSTANT SUSHI EXPERT:
There are hundreds of sushi restaurants. Most “newbies” are scared away by the idea of eating “raw fish” but, believe me, sushi is so much more than just raw fish. Look at our beginners list below
| Sushi Name | Translated | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| California Roll | Cooked crab and avocado in a seaweed wrapper. The best! | |
| Dragon Roll | Tempura shrimp, covered with avocado and broiled eel. | |
| Unagi | Fresh-water Eel | Broiled eel over rice. Absolutely amazing. |
| Ebi | Shrimp | Cooked shrimp over rice. |
| Uni | Sea Urchin | Very unusual, creamy, salty, sweet. Intense flavor. (Raw.) |
| Hamachi | Yellowtail (fish) | Raw too, so just order one if you’re new. An epiphany! |
| Tempura | Batter Fried | Fish, shellfish, vegetables cooked in crunchy fried batter. |
