For me, its ok. A bit of a fishy flavor, but good texture.
And its not like I don't like strong flavored fish, just not
the fishy flavor. I'm also not a big fan of rawcherrystones,
but I love oysters.

It didn't taste fishy to me and I like the crisp texture.

Some clams don't agree with me but others are OK. I like Chesapeake
oysters better than others.

I've had it several times and the fishiness is sometimes only slight.
But for the most part its beenmore pronounced. I do like the crisp texture
as well.. if it were given free, I will eat it. but its not usually.

Some clams don't agree with me but others are OK. I like Chesapeake
oysters better than others.

I much prefer East coast oysters to anything from the West coast. My taste
varies, but I've had some great ones from Martha Vineyard and Wellfleet.
PEI are ok, but not the best..

In terms of sushi clams, I really like most all of them. Geoduck is one of
the few that I'm iffy with.

Mirugai is one of the great pleasures in life, unfortunately it's been years
since I've had it as it's not generally found at Wisconsin sushi bars. Love
that crunchy texture and mildly sweet flavor. More flavor than octopus, in
my book. But then, I tend to like sashimi with a more assertive flavor
profile.

I keep asking for it, but it's never on hand when I go. I like Cherrystones
and Oysters, especially cold water Oysters. Finally tried the edamame and
found them to be very tasty and the serving size served two easily. I grew
some once, but didn't really know what to do with them - now I do ;-)

Not sushi, but did have a nice soft-shelled crab sandwich yesterday served
on a sour dough bun with a bit of hot spicy slaw on it. Delish! Great little
micro brewery in Hallowell, ME called 'The Liberal Cup.'

When we moved to my present address, there were fields of edamame
growing around the area. Unfortunately, I never tried them until much
later.

Sounds awesome! I had this once, but I think it was an open-faced
sandwich.. and not on sour dough which I love!

Mirugai?

I love mirugai, but it's hard to find here in Tucson. It's expensive,
and lots of people don't like it, so most sushi bars don't carry it.

About 30 years ago in Tokyo, I had a salad of Mirugai and grapefruit.
Probably very untraditional with the grapefruit, but to my taste it
was wonderful.

Interesting. Like you, I like raw oysters far better than raw clams.
In fact I *love* raw oysters, but almost the only raw clam I like is
mirugai.

And while we're on the subject of molluscs, my favorite is
octopus--not only the Japanese tako, but cooked octopus in Italy,
France, Spain, Mexico, etc. In fact, octopus is probably my favorite
kind of meat.

I love edamame, too. "Japanese Peanuts," as I call them to myself. With a
nice cold beer, they do down a treat!

The soft-shell crab sandwich sounds yummy. Hard to find those around here,
too. The last one I had was far from "velvet," and was full of hard bits
that made it inedible. But "Spider Roll" is very popular at my nearest good
sushi restaurant, a mere 60 miles way, and they do a great job with it.
Oddly, I never see raw oysters or clams there. Have to go to the Red
Lubester instead.

Yeah I wouldn't expect to find oysters that far from a coast unless there's
a special reason. They can always fly in oysters if there's a draw for them.
But its probably harder to get the draw when you don't have them around to
begin with.

I guess we're lucky on the East and West coast (more so on the East

Actually "Japanese peanuts" are incomparable. We absolutely love them.
They are different from the regular American peanut that is either
redskin, Planter's-roasted, or any other approach to that peanut.

It's a little smaller a little longer than wider, and a little harder.
We ate the every night in a bar, Bacchus, in Morioka one week, before
searching out great restaurants. When we left they gave us a bag of
them with a ribbon. We gave them a little box of See chocolates. Now
we're related!

I see "Japanese peanuts" listed online and they are covered with a
candy or soy-flavored coated shell or some shit--that has nothing to do
with the peanuts we had.

Dogmatism kills jazz. Iconoclasm kills rock. Rock dulls scissors.

There is a sushi spot called Sagami in Collingswood NJ (Philly/So
Jersey area) that serves the single best mirugai dish I have ever
eaten. It is listed as an appetizer special, but they always have. It
is simply 1/2 dozen pieces extremely fresh, thinly sliced, but not
paper thin, geoduck marinated in ponzu. The crunch, the briny flavor,
and the citrus of the ponzu are an amazing flavor combo.

Oysters over most clams any day. I'm partial to Gulf, FLA &
Chesapeake oysters.
Can't tolerate little neck, cherrystone or Manila clams.
Strangely, love steamer clams (cooked), and geoduck and most raw clams
used in sushi.

Where in Wisconsin are you? I'm in the TC area in Minnesota and we've had a
couple of really good sushi / hibachi places open up in the SE area in the
last year. Might be worth a road trip if you're close enough.

Just north of Green Bay. I understand that Origami downtown in Minnie is
supposed to be excellent. Used to drive a big truck through there often, but
couldn't stop. I have road trips in my mind... lol
