Some Most Tasty Pieces Of Japanese Sushi To Taste

By Alex Haskell

When it comes to sushi, a lot of people have a hard time taking that first leap and trying their first bite of raw fish. If you did not know, sushi is incredibly healthy when eaten in moderation; the oils from the fish have numerous benefits for your health and sushi in general is low in fat.

If you have a sushi restaurant nearby, here are some fun options of things to try.

I happen to be a big sucker for shellfish. Any time there is a roll on the menu with snowcrab in it, or better yet, Alaskan King Crab, I feel compelled to get it. If you are not so comfortable eating raw fish, this is a good option for you.

Do you happen to be an adventurous eater? If so, then you should definitely try uni, or as it is more commonly known, sea urchin. This is my absolute favorite bite of sushi. In fact, every year on my birthday I feel the need to go somewhere to get a few fresh pieces.

If you do not like eating raw fish, then a great option is the spider roll, which traditionally consists of soft shell crab tempura. When's the last time you had something fried that wasn't delicious?

Any time I'm at a sushi bar and I cannot decide what type of fish I am in the mood for, I do the obvious: get all of them! One of the best ways to get an assortment like this is to get a rainbow roll, which usually has a variety of salmon, tuna, yellowtail and whitefish on top of crab, cucumber and avocado.

One type of fish that I do not care for, and you should probably skip if offered is sea bass. In general, I find it too chewy to be served raw, which may help explain why it shows up so infrequently on sushi menus, at least in maki (roll) form.

Hopefully you found some useful advice in this article and are further educated on the types of sushi to get (or not get).
