      Deep fried or fried sushi is definitely a thing and its real good if you are not a sushi purist. I think Russian sushi places like to do that, haven’t seen it quite so often outside of Russia though.

        Theres a chain of all you can eat kinda fusion sushi bars around where I live. Trapper’s Sushi. Actually ate there today. I swear their best rolls are flash fried and smothered in various sauces or scallops with spicy mayo.

        If you’re a sushi purist you’ll consider it a complete abomination but oh my sweet lord it’s sooo good.

        I am a bit of a sushi purist, but I do love me a good deep fried eel roll smothered in six types of mayonnaise sugar sauce.

      Shrimp tempura roll is probably the gateway sushi roll for you then. That or maybe BBQ eel, which is also cooked and tastes delicious.

      And the most important thing to remember is where you’re getting the sushi, and it’s freshness. If you’re buying grocery store sushi that’s been in the cooler since 7am, then yeah, it’s probably not gonna be great.

      This is raw food we’re talking about, so you gotta be sure you’re going somewhere legit. At least that’s my opinion. You want to see them rolling it in front of you. If you go in regularly, the chef may even gift you with random dishes to try. It’s a cool experience.

      But if you find a good place, man there’s nothing like a piece of high quality raw tuna. Taste, texture, everything. And I hate seafood in general. Cooked seafood, I guess. Traditional cooked fish is not my thing, but give me sushi any day.

      And if you’re getting sushi rather than just sashimi, the rice is also SUPER important.

      Location really matters with Japanese food.

      In Brazil we have “hot” sushi, which is basically deep fried and it makes the nori taste amazing. Definitely recommend.

      A local “Chinese” restaurant does this. Leftovers of the evening are fried and served as part of the lunch buffet the next day.

        Apparently eating succulent Chinese meals is against the law

            Perhaps. I guess it depends on how long ago it was deep fried.

            Still, imo sushi is almost ethereal in a way, and isn’t meant to exist longer than a couple of hours. Yes, I recognize how pompous that sounds lol.

            That said, I have been guilty of eating leftover rolls for breakfast after a late night…

              Yeah, but it’s a difference if you decide to do this yourself or if you get served old sushi

          I didn’t say, I approve it!

          Anyway, I really don’t know, how they prepared/treated it. If they fried or froze it directly after closing at night, I think that’s ok.

      For real. That roll better be fancy as fuck for $40.

      Ever since they legalized it, the prices have been out of control. I still go to the black market for my sushi.

        Black market sushi? I’m not sure this happened even in USSR. Where is this?

    We don’t know what conditions are in the kitchen of the restaurant that prepared the sushi, or what kind of food suppliers they have.
    There is logic in subjecting food to heat treatment.

      There is logic in cooking food but not in either cooking a raw fish dish you specifically ordered or your comment.
