Is it a futile endeavor to try to find good sushi in La Paz?

Head down to the marina. Purchase a fresh yellowfin tuna. Football size is fine. Fillet and wash in saltwater, chill on ice for a couple hours. Dig
out some wasabi and soy sauce. Slice very thin with a very sharp knife. Garnish as desired and enjoy!!!

No, actually there was a great sushi restaurant in the Soriana complex. Now if you were to climb the social ladder and come to Santa Rosalia, where
we appreciate the finer things in life, we have our own sushi restaurant. It used to be across the street, but moved to the ice cream parlor as they
merged.

Is Senor Sushi still around? As I recall, it was opened by and operated by a Dane.

Jesse is correct.... I love sushi so I learned to make it myself.A bit tricky at first, but after ruining a few pots of rice I got the hang of it.
Sushi rice, nori, and bamboo rollers are readily available here in Loreto.

Finding good sushi in Mexico is like finding a good taco in Japan. Good Luck!

I have never aquired a taste for most any ocean fish, and most all shell fish too.. just don't like the taste.. and for Sushi... no way.. have tried
it.. but we are talking hurl time for me..
It equates to the way some can't eat liver and onions without giving it back..
I like to fish, but mostly catch and release.. I will keep a few salmon and the tuna.. like them smoked

Are There Good Sushi Restaurants in Ensenada?
P.S. I am not dissing the terrific local cocteles servers, just wondering if there is a traditional Japanese place serving good raw fish.

yes...yes...yes...coleman's yellow mustard powder = HOT !
i was told decades ago by an owner of a japanese restaurant to use very hot water and to mix it vigorously to make it hot.
the problem that i have is people dilute wasabi and the mustard with too much soy sauce or ?? i like to use either mixture in a thicker, not soupier
mix, like a thinner pancake mix. i also find using the powder wasabi version is a better tasting mix.
for either, i have found big containers of both at certain very large japanese markets for unbelievably low prices. 16 ounces of coleman's and wasabi
powder for about $ ten dollars.
true or not, i was told that the useage of such hot items is to kill germs ? hmmmm...maybe just gossip ? don't forget, fish do have parasites, some
more than others. farmed salmon, halibut and pacific rockfish are notorious for them.
BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

Hi BDR
Welcome to the board.
Where and at what markets do you buy Colman's mustard and powdered wasabi?
I would love to stock up.

The oriental super groceries in the US stock all of this stuff and it is a lot better than buying it at the regular grocery store where it becomes an
import item and the markup is 50% whereas the Oriental croceries do direct import and the markup is much lower.
Since the original question was where in La Paz is a decent place to find sushi, the place is called the Sushi Factory and is at the Plaza Cinepolis
(Sorianas) number is 612-165-4004

Jeeeezo..I hope not. I would suggest to anyone weird enough to eat Sushi that they go out to the docks and get aboard one of the sport fishing boats
and plunge their head into the bait tank. After all, that's what Sushi is.....bait, and it belongs on a fish hook.
