PICSPAM BELOW:
I think it’s been about six months since I last went out for ‘all you can eat sushi’ at a nearby restaurant and I missed it. I enjoyed the dishes that I had on this visit, though, to be honest, I over ordered and ended up stuffed. I finished with a scoop each of mango and green tea ice cream which isn’t pictured below.
Rainbow sushi roll – inside out roll (fake crab leg, julienned cucumber and avocado) topped with alternating strips of avocado, red snapper and salmon
Nigiri … salmon, red snapper, shrimp and eel
and hand rolls (temaki). Fake crab leg and salmon
bbq’d eel and tempura shrimp
Salmon pizza
Chicken and beef skewers
Chicken and beef teriyaki
Pork cutlet (tonkatsu)
Tell the truth: which diet are you going on after this adventure? Everything looks scrumptious! I personally love temaki with crispy crunchy salmon skin, but not everybody knows how to make it, and it comes out oily. Salmon pizza is cute, though.
Diet? What’s that? ๐
I love the sushi pizzas … salmon is my favourite but I’ve had the red snapper and the bbq’d eel too. I wish I knew how to make it at home. Tuna is too pricey to be on the AYCE sushi menu. You have to order/pay for it separately.
I’ve made crispy salmon skin … just brush the skin with a bit of oil and bake it at 350 deg F until crispy, turning it over several times. It’s delicious.
Saturday lunch was a bag of Ruffles potato chips and half a bag of Strawberry Twizzlers. I actually had a couple of sausage wraps around 9pm when I got peckish.
Junk food diet is a very special diet!
I’ll try making salmon skin your way – let’s see what happens. And what’s in that sushi pizza underneath the fish?
LOL … junk food diet.
There’s a picture of my crispy baked salmon skin here.

The base of the pizza is a disc of fried sushi rice. I don’t know know if they batter it before frying but that’s what it looks like. I’ve tried making it at home but it’s never worked out.
Thank you for the link (I don’t know how I missed this post!); I will definitely try to do it.
As to pizza crust, they must be using something to hold rice together while frying it. Eggs?
I tried coating the disk with flour and even freezing it before deep frying. Major fail.
Maybe tempura batter. It’s lovely and crispy on the outside. Not too thick either. A perfect base for the fish, spicy mayo, shredded cucumber and a bit of fish roe decoration.
That’s an idea! I am always in for wasabi mayo (grandkids call it “sushi glue”) and fish roe, AKA caviar from the Russian store. Yumm!
I don’t have the budget for ‘real’ caviar from sturgeon eggs but capelin (masago) or flying fish roe (tobiko) or even salmon roe are doable in sushi.
Spicy mayo made with Sriracha is my favourite garnish or sauce for sushi rolls. I used lots in the volcano roll I made a few posts back. ๐
I love wasabi. The hotter the better. Pickled ginger (gari) is tasty too.
Unfortunately I have not see kosher masago, but salmon roe IS caviar (beluga caviar, i.e. the black one, isn’t kosher), and it’s pretty reasonable in Russian and Polish stores. I love ikura rolls topped with raw quail eggs!
Sriracha is a little too hot for me, but wasabi is something I can adjust by using as much powder as I am comfortable with. I pickle ginger, too.
I wish I could live off sushi
I agree. I like it a lot.
