TweetI LOVE SUSHI! I could eat it everyday! We usually go to "the crazy fish lady" here in town and get fresh sushi grade salmon. We either slice it up and make bowls out of it with cucumber and rice or I occasionally make rolls to make my kids happy. Lol

When we go out, my two favorites are salmon sashimi and this one roll called the pink dragon with salmon, avacado, crab, and tempura.

TweetI love Sushi, but became seriously deflated this year after hearing it's routinely substituted for cheaper fish. This was from an article in Forbes a couple years back...
Back in December I wrote here about the widespread substitution of cheaper species of fish for more expensive and desirable ones, a daily bait and switch that routinely goes on at retail fish markets, in restaurants and especially in sushi places.

It’s gotten much worse.

Not only is Asian pangasius (or ponga) frequently passed off as everything from catfish to sole to flounder to grouper, and not only is premium red snapper hardly ever actual red snapper, but farmed fish like salmon is often sold as “wild caught.” Many choose wild caught for perceived health and sustainably reasons, so fish fraud goes beyond taste into actual endangerment. In fact as a new study today revels, there are much more serious health risks associated with this widespread fraud.

In my last piece I cited studies in specific big cities including New York, LA, Miami and Boston. In New York, students did DNA testing of purchased sushi and retail samples and found that among other things, 78% of red snapper was a far cry from red snapper. In December, non-profit ocean conservation group Oceana had released a report titled “Widespread Seafood Fraud Found in New York City.” Their more extensive study found that 39% of Big Apple restaurants and retail fish sellers committed fraud, as did every single one (100%) of the 16 sushi restaurants tested. Boston and LA fared even worse, with fake fish rates of 48% and 55% respectively.Well, today Oceana is back with a new much broader nationwide survey – and the results are terrifying.

Their study “uncovered widespread seafood fraud across the United States… In one of the largest seafood fraud investigations in the world to date, DNA testing confirmed that one-third, or 33 percent, of the 1,215 fish samples collected by Oceana from 674 retail outlets in 21 states were mislabeled, according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines.”

Once again Los Angelinos had the most concern: “Oceana found seafood fraud everywhere it tested, including mislabeling rates of 52 percent in Southern California, 49 percent in Austin and Houston, 48 percent in Boston (including testing by The Boston Globe), 39 percent in New York City, 38 percent in Northern California and South Florida, 36 percent in Denver, 35 percent in Kansas City (MO/KS), 32 percent in Chicago, 26 percent in Washington, D.C., 21 percent in Portland (OR) and 18 percent in Seattle.”

TweetSPICY TUNA AND CRUNCHY TUNA ARE 2 OF MY FAVORITES. SOME RESTAURANTS NAME THEIR SUSHI DIFFERENT THEN OTHERS. ONE THAT I REALLY LIKE IS CALLED THE TEQUESTA ROLL, IT CONSISTS OF COCONUT SHRIMP, ASPARAGUS, CREAM CHEESE, MANGO AND AVOCADO ON TOP WITH EEL SAUCE

you can have the tempura but the bowls sound amazing. I have purchased sushi grade tuna and salmon before but i just sliced it and ate it. I like your idea

pellet that is discouraging. I think the one we went to is pretty reputable scores high 90s with the health dept. (for whom i worked for 17 years) I normally get yellow tail, salmon or tuna. that is all.
