wow............
so, the first time I made NIGIRIZUSHI and I put too much wsabi and had everyone crying
the first time we also made FUTOMAKI since it had raw YT, carrot and I used the mat to make it (and mine came out looking quite poorly)
Yesterday we used smoked YT, carrot, cucumber, cream cheese. and we rolled it by hand, which was easier for me.

@ Diane - that reading was really interesting !!

Thought you might enjoy reading that, Blanca. We did.
Now, a good friend told us that in Hawaii, Spam is a poular ingredient for sushi rolls, or what ever they are properly called----could be interesting.

How many people knew that Sushi refers to the rice, not the fish?
http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi.htm
I'm not a great Sushi maker, but hand-caught Yellowfin Tuna from my own boat, eaten within a few hours of being caught overcomes my shortcomings as a
sushi chef. Unbelievable.
Local Albacore works too. Local yellowtail tends to be too lean to really be good. Things like Ling Cod, Snapper work too. Bluefin, when available, is
great, and bigeye, which is pretty rare around here and really a type of Yellowfin, is great too.
Other than that the fish goes in the pot or pan for best effect.
I can't tell you how many times people who claim to not like fish were turned around by really fresh, locally caught fish. "This is fish?" is a
typical comment. Most store-bought fish is dogfood.
I sold my Albemarle two+ years ago. Boy do I miss it! Even the overnight trips from point loma to the fishing grounds, leaving at 10:00 the night
before, running all night at 10 knots through the soup, alternating sleep and helm duty, to be on the grounds (as far as the dumping grounds) at grey
light, chatter on the radio going from nonexistent to constant as the hours go by. Sometimes an amazing sky, sometimes nothing at all, peering at the
radar to make sure not to hit Pukey Point or other boats on the way down, in complete darkness, the radio picking up transmissions as far as Cedros
and sometime much farther thanks to Tropspheric Ducting.

so much info. i'm dizzy. I know that in Japan, sushi chefs spend years and years learning how to make sushi as it is considered something to be
mastered.
I am really glad that I have learned how to make it and of course, I need a lot of practice. next lesson, i want to make the rice outside version.

It's a popular sushi roll and always include avacado. California rolls are usually made inside-out, so they are easy to eat.
Ingredients:
1 avocado
3/4 cup imitation crab
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp salt
6 cups prepared sushi rice
4 sheets of nori (dried seaweed)
white sesame seeds

Thought you might be interested in this article in The Journal of San Diego History from 1977. KONDO MASAHARU AND THE BEST OF ALL FISHERMAN
It is an article about the Japanese and their involvement in the development of the fishing industries in Baja and elsewhere.
|
------1920
"A third fishing technique that Kondo's men tried involved the use of a type of fish net known as a Daibo net. Daibo nets were designed to be used on
tidal flats to trap sea life as they rode the tides to shore. The nets were installed at Descanso Point, north of Ensenada and on Santa Margarita
Island in Magdalena Bay.
The nets not only worked, they worked too well. A number of local Mexican fishermen protested to their government fearing a too rapid depletion of the
inshore fish population and the use of the method was ordered terminated."

Wow, they figured it out fast 90 yrs ago... what happened?
thanks for the Great read BajaBlanca & DianaT.
To think, a Japanese fish camp at San Roque in 1914 !

Oh yum, I forgot about that!! It is called Spam Musubi. (Musubi is a type of Onigiri (rice ball. that loses a lot in translation. But its very
important and with great variety in Japanese cuisine).)
When I worked in CA at a Japanese company, a lotta the gals would bring in warm Spam Musubi in the mornings and boy was it good. Yes I know ya gotta
like Spam in the first place. But to have a slab of fried Spam dabbed with spicy mustard rolled in sticky rice and wrapped in Nori alongside a Crispy
Creme on my desk. Ooooh...
Ah well, I guess I am healthier down here.

Did I hear Sushi?
Greetings to all. While I have yet to prepare my own, I love sushi! Great job on the recipe's, thanks...the end product looks delicious, for sure. My
bachelor pad in town (Santa Monica) has no kitchen and I'm envious of all who can and do cook! Now that my mouth's watering profusely, think I'll go
out to eat!
Sushi, sashimi, tempura and sometimes noodles are so great. Once a week for me, at least. Fave sushi bars have the best in sushi chef's, great
atmosphere and super service. I tend to dine out solo often, so the sushi bar is my preference, over a table (a table for one??? lol!). A usual for
me:
Tall Sopporo with a tall hot sake
Spicy Tuna handroll
Uni (Sea Urchin sushi)
Eel sushi (salt water eel)
Maybe a salmon egg sushi
Spider roll, a fried softshell crab hand rolled
Chef's choice for desert is usually an orange, fancifully cut
Yummmie!
Peace, regards to all!
