Comments on: Monday Sushi? http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/05/05/monday-sushi/ All about sushi, nigiri, and maki Tue, 31 Aug 2010 01:09:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Gretchen Murphy http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/05/05/monday-sushi/#comment-42843 Gretchen Murphy Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:07:57 +0000 http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/05/05/monday-sushi/#comment-42843 I think alot of people do not like sushi because they have eaten at inferior places with low quality. Here in South Florida there is a great span from the awesome to awful. The place I personally love is closed on Mondays and the owner is pretty cool. There are also alot of celebrities who love the place (which I forgot the name of at the moment). I think alot of people do not like sushi because they have eaten at inferior places with low quality.

Sorry, but I don't know of any suppliers in Boise - I've heard there are some good online suppliers, but I've never tried them and cannot vouch for their quality.

I may have to visit if I ever get out to the east coast. :)</p> <p><strong>Lynsey</strong> - Definitely good to be cautious, especially when you don't live near the coast! It's really great that your local sushi place is able to have fresh fish all the time!</p> Jessica – What restaurant is that? I may have to visit if I ever get out to the east coast. :)

We're the most landlocked area of the world. I'm really proud of the local sushi place for always having fresh stuff, though I'm still very cautious no matter what day I visit them.

It makes sense to close the better sushi restaurants on the days that the fish market is closed, although I agree... you could go to a restaurant that has its own fish tank! :)</p> <p><strong>Ralph</strong> - You haven't been making sushi?!?! *gasp*</p> <p><strong>Yvo</strong> - I agree... places with high turnover should be pretty safe sushi-wise. The sushi restaurant I usually go to also has half-priced sushi every day, so I figure it should be pretty safe to eat. I've eaten there quite a bit and never had a problem! I've never tried sashimi or sushi with raw fish from a refrigerated case... I don't think I quite trust it, since often it's sitting out all day. I have eaten other types such as California Rolls, and never had a problem. That really sucks that you had the misfortune of getting sick from sushi though... I hope nothing like that ever happens to you again! :(</p> Lucas – Yeah I think the 20/20 special mentioned that book and actually interviewed him.

Here in NYC, I hear that it's Mondays... and actually, my favorite-bestest-freshest sushi/sashimi place ever is closed on Mondays. So maybe that's why. If any of you are in NYC, there's a place called Sushi Park on 2nd Ave b/w 7&8th St. that does half price rolls like every day. I've eaten there twice (well, once, since the 2nd time I was already full so I just had a miso soup...) and I was fine, and I know plenty of people who eat there and don't get sick. But I think their volume/turnover is really high- it's always packed with NYU students- so there isn't too much concern over old fish. I've also eaten at a few places that have half price or cheaper sushi but it's never been a problem- then again, it's not usually places that are like "Monday, 1/2 price sushi!" it's just every day that it's discounted (which... means it's regular price for them...). My first time eating raw rolls was a salmon roll from a deli. In NYC, delis that have sushi from the open refrigerated case are extremely common, and so after a year of watching my two friends eat these (sometimes at the very same place) and fare well, I tried it- with no one by my side to say "That looks funny!" I got raucously sick and didn't try again for 2 years (I was 16 or so at the time). That deli is in Battery Park/TriBeCa (a richy rich area), near my high school.... and it was summer, if that had anything to do with it. I don't think I've gotten sick since on sushi, though.
