Best Sushi Without Shellfish??

[NiarrNDisney]

Yellow Tail,Salmon and Tuna Nigri from Kona Cafe/Island! Heck Nigiri in general will always be the best.

Well I had a reaction a couple times, but it was never clear if it was actually shellfish that did it, I keep meaning to get a proper test done but keep putting it off

Curious,but how do they test you? Got it,you have to jump naked into a swimming pool and swim one length before one hundred live lobsters get you.

Well the DW sister who lives in Los Angeles loves sushi and has it at least once a week,anyway,I've an ADR at Cali Grill next month and Iam going to try the spicy Kazan roll with fireball sauce,I'll give you my report.

The Spicy Kazan Roll is fantastic, but it's also full of crab, shrimp and scallops. It's definitely not the best one for Crush, unless you just want to tell him about it to breed a serious sense of longing.

A little background for those who would like to know what each type is referring to.

From Wikipedia - The word sashimi has been integrated into the English language and is often used to refer to other uncooked fish preparations. Many non-Japanese use the terms sashimi and sushi interchangeably, but the two dishes are actually distinct and separate. Sushi refers to any dish made with vinegared rice; and, while raw fish is one traditional sushi ingredient, many sushi dishes contain seafood that has been cooked, and others have no seafood at all.

So, you can have sushi with pretty much anything in it. I had the opportunity to go to Guy Fierri (sp?) Tex Wasabi's Rock and Roll Sushi in Sacramento. He actually offers sushi with BBQ in it.

My favorite is a salmon skin hand roll which is Salmon skin flash fried and rolled with the sea weed wrapper. Its crunch on the outside, then you hit the rice, then crunchy on the inside.

As stated above the standard starter sushi or sashimi is tuna and salmon but I love eel as well! It is roasted actually with a sweeter sauce drizzle. Delish!!!! I eat it all though. It is one of my favorite foods! Try an eel roll for me

Looks awesome and tasty.

Hamachi or yellowtail tuna is my favorite-it has a really meaty flavor and is best raw to me. Spicy tuna is a great start and is very popular. Philly style rolls are more decadent and filling than just fish and rice rolls. Start with something simple them move on up from there.

Def mention your seafood allergy-many rolls do have shellfish (lobster, shrimp, crab ) like salads (mixed with mayonnaise) in them.

Spicy Tuna is sounding good

Oh, if only it were so pleasant! It's usually a series of skin tests. Basically, they stick your skin with a small sharp prong thingy and put a dab of the allergen (in serum form) over where they've punctured the skin. I think I've been tested for over 60 allergens in one sitting, so it's not exactly a pleasant experience. If you're allergic, it will form a mosquito bite like reaction at the site. The larger the reaction (they measure it), the more allergic you likely are. If they aren't satisfied with the results, they'll actually use a needle to insert the allergen farther under the first few layers of skin...this is obviously more painful. I've had the testing done on my legs, back and arms. I prefer the arms, but when I take my kids in- they test on their backs b/c it's easier to control them.

Yp you can see my hesitancy

Go with tuna or salmon - I would recommend nigiri. That is just the fish on top of a pad of rice. Do yourself a favor - do not smear it with wasabi, soak it in soy sauce (some on the FISH is ok, not the rice), or take bites of it. One peice, one bite.

Eel is not one of my favorites, but many people like it. Surf clam is good, but you may be allergic. Mackrel is pretty strong. Yellowfin is a fattier tuna - very nice. For no non fish route, tomago is a egg "omlet" and is a mark of a good chef is they can make it nicely.

I recommend for starters staying away from rolls, unless it is something simple like a tuna roll (NOT a spicy tuna roll, every place has it because Spicy Tuna is Japanese for "here is how we get rid of last nights fish, which now tastes a bit off"). For starters, stay away from the crazy rolls with 25 different ingreidents in them, 10 sauces, and a flaming baton on top. Order fish and rice, and enjoy fish and rice.

Thanks for the advice Dave

Right folks unfortunately i have a shellfish allergy (at least ive think i fo havent been properly tested)
Anyway, i have never had Sushi!!!!!

Shocking right??
Ireland is not known for Sushi

So this year i am determined to try sushi so this leads me to my question!

What are your fave types of sushi that do not contain shellfish??

Sweet potato and cream cheese roll! I don't eat fish, but I love vegetable sushi!

 

[HouCuseChickie]

Sorry- felt bad about giving the fairly graphic account of what goes on, but I figured I might as well since I had the answer.

The testing still may be good though since it might narrow down the specific shellfish allergens and/or confirm if it's an allergy or just a sensitivity. Not that either is pleasant, but a sensitivity is much safer to manage. And that would open up a lot more things to order when dining for sushi or pretty much any seafood. Testing also might not be as bad since not all allergists want to test every allergy in the world when it comes to concerns over food/specific foods.

Cinzan my friend!!! (that means 100 years in Italian!!)
