    I love me some fluke.
    *and, some engawa....raw, slightly chopped at, and salted....none of the torch, for me!

    Looks amazing.

    Yes, the kanpachi was super good.  I think that and the salmon are the best ones I've  had .
    The carpaccio was ridiculous.

    Is it the honolulu co you guys are raving about? Tempted. I live near a Japanese market that has great fish in manageable portions for typical prices so not sure I need three pounds of fish.  Looks great though.
    Yeah, I have a couple spots I can get some stuff locally.  My typical fish spot at the Italian Market in Philly almost always has sushi grade tuna, but it's not as good as honolulu fish co, but I get it for poke bowls and stuff like that.

    I have a new spot where I can get hamachi from and did that once, and it was awesome.  They have sushi grade salmon from time to time too.  Plan to do that a bit more

    Not quite as fancy, but getting back to making my own nigiri and tekka don.

    That all looks great!
    Thank you!  The nigiri is fluke with lemon, scallions and sea salt. The bowl is marinated bluefin over sushi rice with a bunch of green stuff LOL. Should of had some Ikura or Tobiko to brighten it up.  I was surprised how good my sushi rice came out. More to come.
    I have been hit and miss with sushi rice but hoping to do well with it Friday.  From what I can see in the bowl there, it looks good!

    Gonna hit the Asian supermarket up by me before Friday to pick up some Tobiko and all.  Haven't incorporated in that into any of my home sushi nights yet

    I plan on doing that. Olive oil, pecorino and cilantro?

    Thank you! I learned this time that less sushi vinegar and more patient mixing helps. I also think ceramic makes a better container than wood for mixing.  Now if I could just master the art of getting the rice to be the same size each and every time!

    I use this with my sushi rice and like the results.
    Wash gently about 5 times.  Let soak for 30 and then equal parts rice and water in the rice maker.
    When done I cool in the wooden thingy and pour in the seasoning and shuffle the rice around.  Usually  is pretty good although some times better than others.

    It is an easy way to bypass making your own sushi rice vinegar.  
    This in and of itself is not difficult....but sometimes it helps to cut a corner or two to make the whole process take less time and work and be more enjoyable.
    The first night with the fish is especially  challenging to enjoy, because of the work and then getting the stuff to my wife and kid to see them occupied so that I can make some, sit, and eat.

    I get it. I buy bottled BBQ sauce, various dipping sauces, marinades, condiments, rubs, prepared side dishes, and salad dressings for convenience. Something about making sushi says no.  Rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.  Find the balance and feel the edomae spirit LOL.

    I had swordfish from there this week, was awesome. Good thing they pack that shit so well.

    Just picked up sushi from our local spot.

    So if the shipment is delayed, that means a day less time to eat?  
    Chomp chomp.  Hope you get a deduction  or credit to next order or something.
    Tempted today, they sent 1/2 pound each of Pumpkin Sword, Ahi. Kanpachi, and Meru for $129

    Dude, do the pumpkin sword by itself. It's seriously unbelievable.

    It’s not their fault the weather and they got in touch with UPS to make sure it’s on track for tomorrow.  Played in the snow with the daughter then murdered some Pho. Hit the spot



    South Philly is unbelievably rich of amazing food

    Bowl on the right- is that some type of offal on the top? Tripe maybe?
