| Anybody ever tried to make their own sushi? Seems pretty easy to me, the hardest part would be getting the rice right. Especially, since I do not have a steamer. Fake Crab and Avocado for California Rolls can be found at any grocery store. I think I've seen the seaweed wraps (I believe it's called Nori) in stores also. Shrimp Tempura would be do-able as well, although I do not know what they use for the sauce on that one. If you can pick up a few pieces of sashimi grade fish, then you can make your own nigiri too.

| I love California rolls. I may be mistaken but am pretty sure it's against health department regulations in Indiana to serve any raw meats or fish. I have NEVER been in any restaurant that served sashimi. I would love to make my own California rolls but am very intimidated at the thought of trying to roll them! |

| You just need the standard warning in regard to raw and undercooked meat and seafood described on your local health department websight. As far as a sauce goes for your sushi. Soy and good wasabi is a must. Another is a mix of mayonaise and Thai chili Paste. Ponzu is an option as well. |

| I guess I am a sushiholic Can't get enought. Yes I make my own & I have my own sushimi knife just for that Once a month at my cooking school we bring in a local fellow that is kinda known as the "godfather" of Memphis Japanese resturants, just to teach sushi. It is always sold out I love working with him because he always makes some extra for me.

| Well I tried to make sushi last night and the rolling process wasn't that bad. My rice turned out far too mushy though. Just made California rolls and some smoke salmon rolls because I couldn't get any sashimi grade fish. Maybe next time.

| I don't know if I could live in a place that didn't have sushi and sashimi available. Sushi and sashimi are mostly the same thing, except sashimi is just the fish without the rice. If I'm dining out, I prefer sushi and sashimi over the rolls (but my wife likes the rolls). I dislike California rolls. I have only made rolled sushi myself. I'm not very good at it though. I can roll it and make it fine, but I haven't been able to get much of a good taste out of them. Can't seem to find quail eggs. I love raw quail egg with ponzu sauce. |
