Masago, shrimp tempura, avacado and a little bit of mayo... oh baby, oh baby (Thank you Fuji Yama on fifth!)

Just curious if you know what masago really is? I won't spoil it if you don't.

Also, Masago is the "little orange balls" and Ikura is the "big red ones".

For the novices...try the Ikura. You will vo--be delighted.

Holy crap! don't even think about eating those Costco, Safeway, Superstore, salmon raw. My mom's friend did that and she got a tape worm and has been sick for over 2 years now. Crazy!

All sushi and sashimi have to be frozen to -40 to kill all the parasites.

For our sushi parties we have once a year we buy a big ass salmon from City Fish in the NE. they wholesale to all the sushi places. $6/lb if you want it deboned. It is sooo awesome! usually a salmon is between 10-18 lbs. Thats a hell of alot of sashimi.

Yup, City fish is where I'd get my seaweed salad. A bucket for roughly $30. It's awesome.

It is retail there too. You can just phone them and order it over the phone. No questions asked. I think they only accept cash. hehe.

If you have really good knives you can save yourself the money and buy the fish for $5/lb. It's a lot of work though.

I haven't tried it, but Alton Brown is a cooking genius to me so...

No way man, nice try. I have watched people eat that, followed by their gag reflex... The Ikura's reputation is preventing me from ever trying it.

Yeah, I know what it is... I don't want to think about it though. I don't eat meat, but once and a while I'll order a roll with fish/shrimp in it, and it wasn't until my fifth caterpillar roll at Fuji Yama that I was told what masago was. Ah well...
