I'm a sushi fiend. I'll take salmon sashimi over steak any day of the week – and I started to say that back when I was still living in SF. I couldn't live in any city that didn't serve up decent sushi – seriously. When we first met, Ponzi wasn't much of a sushi fan. I converted her quickly, though. She wasn't much for sashimi at first, but now she loves seared albacore and yellowtail. My favorites: salmon (duh), tobiko / masago, and yellowtail. Every once in a while, I'll go with unagi, ika, and maguro. To keep our sushi bills low, we don't eat much more than one serving apiece – with a random roll shared between us.
Today, she finally purchased sashimi-grade fish from Uwajimaya Seattle. It was really good, and just as fresh as what we would have received from a restaurant. Much cheaper, too! Ponzi got creative with the spicy tuna hand roll (opting to add a bit of lite cream cheese). Then, she presented my salmon sashimi in the most elegant fashion. I believe Ponzi has a future in creative sushi chef'ing.
