Congratulations to Warren (#7), Ed (#26), and Jennifer (#30). They were the winners of the sushi kit contest! Your sushi kits and Sushi Day shirts will be shipped to you soon.
Also, I’ve posted about sushi on my other blog, Fridgg, for this month’s Daring Cooks challenge. The recipe called for unagi… but unagi isn’t sustainable, and you know I couldn’t do that. So pop on over to Fridgg, and check out the recipe I created as a sustainable replacement!
I saw the catfish/unagi substitution and had an aha!! moment. It seems so obvious and is good for the environment too. Paying the money for frozen pre-cooked unagi won’t be missed either. I’m going to do a bunch of fillets and freeze them away for future sushi making days.
Thank you SO much.
late happy birthday to Son
I have used tilapia with unagi sauce before, but I will try catfish next time.
Also, have you tried to find frozen, pickled mackerel to use in sushi? Saba is one of my favorites in restaurants. I ordered a copy of Sustainable Sushi through my school’s library and I was very pleased to discover that I can keep eating my saba! Now, I’m interested in incorporating it into homemade sushi, but I’m not quite sure where to start.
Also, I am quite upset to hear about imitation krab. That was one of my favorite maki-fillers because it is so convenient to keep in the freezer and just thaw as needed. Any suggestions for substitutes?
I love your site and sushi! I don’t know if this has been asked before but what type of camera do you use for your pictures? Best food pictures on a food site!
I got my package today, I love the shirt (and other goodies)! Thanks for the opportunity to win the contest!
Lizz–It’s not the camera, the camera is merely a tool. It’s the photographer and their skills, remember that
=D I’ll have to get some skills hehe
I just picked up my package from the post office today!
I’m a noob and I’m excited. Now I’m at work looking through all of your recipes and trying to think up some concoctions of my own. I’m going to plan out 5 days in a row where I make two rolls a night.
I’ll try to take some decent pics. =]
such a mistake to come back to your site as now i desperately want to make some!! i will have to try this catfish idea.. looks brilliant. still sad i can’t get fresh salmon like i could in france. congrats on the 3 years! thank you for bringing us such great sushi recipes.
Love the posts here need to try my hand at the ideas you have given out. Not too sure how they will turn out though lol.
i am such a sushi fan. i love your website! the photos are spectacular… its as if the sushi is jumping out of the photo. keep up the great work!
I love the colours in this dish
