I was mostly joking - I don't like "normal" cake :lol: , while seafood and fish are favourites of mine.

I use to go fishing and know what you mean by really fresh fish, but I'm not as strict as you about it. I get it you don't like Surströmming? :wink:

i don't agree that any kind of raw animal food should be as fresh as possible...

when eating deer, boar, duck or other wild you hunt... you have to hang it for a certain amount of time and have it "rot" a little to bring out the best of it.... sometimes for several days.... so the flavor becomes more pronounced.

I was referring to carpaccio and steak tartare - both made with raw beef.

i know. but still... if the cow/bull is killed and eaten raw right away it doesn't taste as good as when you let it hang for some time... even when eaten raw.

its a little like wine... like if meat has to oxidize a little before you eat it.

I used to love it when I was a little kid, but I developed an allergy to fish so I can't eat it without vomiting

It did not disgust me when I tried it; aside from feeling kind of odd ("I'm eating raw fish OMG!!") I was just sort of meh. So? It's boring. I hope never to eat it again, not because of anything wrong with it.

It appears what I was talking about was Nigirizushi. I've never had sashimi, nor does it look like I've ever seen it in a restaurant that I've been to. Seems a bit strange because sashimi doesn't seem too exotic. I wonder why I've not seen it

Nigirizushi is just "standard" sushi - a small piece of fish, other seafood or egg (don't know how egg gets in there) on a small block of rice. It's my experience that most American restaurants which offer sushi also offer sashimi. Perhaps you simply never noticed it on a menu before? Or haven't been to many sushi restaurants? Although, as mentioned by someone else, sashimi has to be very fresh to be good, so if you go to a lower-quality restaurant, they might not offer it.

aspi-rant: The fish in sushi is not normally seasoned, unless it is a sushi roll, in which case it may or may not be.

That's so sad.

I think I might lose my will to live if I became allergic to seafood.

Sometimes I do. I tend to not like raw meats though so most sushi's are unpalatable to me. I do like Unagi(eel) and Shrimp sushi though(they're cooked).

American shrimp sushi is cooked. Personally, I find raw shrimp to be pretty gross. That is one type of sushi I do not care for. That and uni (sea urchin). Yech. All...mushy. Unagi, however, is delicious, but I prefer unagidon/unadon (eel on a big bowl of rice) because the eel sauce is just so sweet.

I really enjoy sushi, even if I don't get to eat it very often. I'm one of those people who will eat just about anything--the problem is that my family is quite a bit pickier.
