Default Nori roll question

Hi, Karen! While still in Sitka, Alaska last week, I FINALLY was cajoled into trying sushi (thank you Julie, Katie and Ronnie). I loved it!!! I'm going to try the shrimp and nori rolls. I can get sushi-grade tuna but not salmon. I'm going to try smoked salmon since I have some on-hand - what would complement smoked salmon? A little avocado? Maybe wasabi mayo?? I'm assuming there's nothing to substitute for the rice except more veggies?? That's fine - I don't mind. I just want to try my hand at it. Thanks. Cheers!!

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!



and if you do do it, don't say I didn't warn you.

All good suggestions!

Wasabi mixed with cream cheese would be very tasty.

On reading your post, I wondered once again, "what exactly IS 'sushi grade fish'?"

I got conflicting answers from the Whole Foods sushi chef (who was trying to persuade me to buy HIS sushi, with a 'don't try this at home, kids!' sort of mentality...like it was just too complex for me) and, on the other side of the store, the Whole Foods seafood department guy (who was persuading me to try it).

So I found this article. Thought you might like to know. Note how cold the fish has to get to destroy parasites:

"The only concern any inspectors have is referred to as the parasite destruction guarantee, which is accomplished by 'freezing and storing seafood at -4°F (-20°C) or below for 7 days (total time), or freezing at -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at -31°F (-35°C) or below for 15 hours, or freezing at -31°F (-35°C) or below until solid and storing at -4°F (-20°C) or below for 24 hours' which is sufficient to kill parasites."

http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi-grade-fish.htm

I don't think my freezer gets this cold. Next time, I will ask the Whole Foods management if their fish vendor follows these freezing precautions.

My local whole foods told me that the only fish they sell that is sushi grade is the ahi.

I think sushi grade fish is super fresh, I mean caught that same day or the day before. Tuna is quick frozen so that also might be possible.

I found that baby shrimp has to be dried well and I mean well!! It made a bit of a mess to roll it even though I spent a lot of time drying off my shrimp. LOVE the recipe you have in the cookbook, Karen - I just need to be more patient with it.

I will try wasabi mixed with cream cheese. I have BOTH in the frig right now!! And a little smoked salmon would be good. I'm the only one who will eat it!! My DD may be convinced to try it but she's in a "no spice" phase right now. At almost 6, she thinks she has the palate of a food critic. Cheers!
