Sushi recommendations

Do you like raw fish?

See if they have otoro nigiri.

If you don't like that, you don't like raw fish.

Are you interested in American style sushi (rolls) or Japanese style sushi (nigiri is fish on rice, sashimi is fish by itself)?

American style, most places will have a rainbow roll, which has raw fish on the outside and snowcrab on the inside. The fish is usually tuna, salmon, and a white fish like escolar. Crunchy rolls are basic too, although their contents vary from place to place.

Japanese style, the basic tuna, salmon, and shrimp nigiri should be avaialble. Maybe try something like scallops. Tamago is the slightly sweet folded egg. Nigiri gets expensive in the US, so maybe do a chirashi bowl (assorted samshimi over a bowl of rice) the first time you're trying it.

Also, remember that not all sushi is the same quality, and not all sushi places are equal quality either.

Tsunami Sushi has the Big Tuna roll, that is my go-to when I’m feeling sushi. I had some really great rolls when I was stationed in Hawaii, but can’t recall their names…

Shaggy dog, Philly, dragon rolls. All delish.

Salmon and tuna nigiri are solid choices for someone who is new to sushi. If you don’t like those, just stick to California rolls and such.

I love a good roll with salmon, avocado, and (sometimes) cream cheese. Everybody has them but call them different names.

Volcano rolls are usually good at most of the restaurants where I've tried it. Try a deep fried roll for a change; those are really good.

Futomaki is a roll with a lot of vegetables and really delicious.

Crawfish roll is my go to
