The Sushi Verdict is in!

My oh my, what an experience!!

With the help my incredible friends I walked into the sushi restaurant feeling very confident & educated. Hats off to my sushi loving friends- love you guys! We had a great waiter who was so patient with me & Jason with all of HIS questions, cause all I had to do was pull out my phone & there was my handy dandy list of suggestions, no really he was so helpful!

We started the dinner off with:
Spicy Tuna Kickers
-- they were rather tasty, just tasted like a fried tuna sandwich. But the dip was to DIE for!

Then came the real deal, we ordered:
White Tiger Roll-calamari tempura, crab, avocado, masago tossed with white tuna, spicy mayo & eel sauce
Dragon Roll- crab and cucumber topped with eel, avocado, eel sauce & sesame seeds
Fried Philly Roll-salmon, cream cheese, and avocado, battered & topped with eel sauce

Ok so for someone who only east fish sticks ( and I am talking once a year!) this is BIG!!!  Impressive right?! Well, I was surprised, I actually really liked the Dragon Roll, but I am a huge fan of avocado & well I thought that the eel on top was bacon- LOL! It was pretty good. I would order it again. The Philly was manageable, didn't mind it but didn't really like it a lot either. However, it was Jason's fav, imagine that it was FRIED! LOL. However I could not stomach the White Tiger, it was the 1st one I ate & it about sent me running for the toilet. I was literally gagging while trying to hurry & swallow. The fact that I didn't stop there, I think I deserve an award! My goal was/is to start with the worst that way everything after that taste wonderful & in the end I will love fish!

Our server kept talking about training your taste pallet... so we made this analogy, Sushi is like beer, it doesn't really taste good, you just keep doing it because it is so cool & then one day you end up liking it. Not that I really know, I find beer repulsive, but it was the analogy for the night!

We finished up with dessert: Chocolate Cake-- DELISH!

The best part of the night was that I got to share my leftovers with one of my favorite people & did I mention that we ordered wayy too much!? Kim, I hope you enjoy every little raw morsel! :)

Overall, an experience. Won't ever crave it, but if I am ever in the position I can stomach it & now I know what I like & what to stay away from. The seafood journey is all downhill from here, the worst part is over! It was fun, but Jason did stop at Jack in the box on the way home, he wanted at burger! haaa.
