I don't like chopsticks
 

Actually, Ken, I am amazed that you are still on here and responded right away to my new post...because it has been almost twenty years since anybody posted on this thread!!!

I'm subscribed to 17 newsgroups, including this one. Well over half of
them, including this one, are almost completely inactive, and several
others are almost completely inactive. There's no downside to keeping
their subscriptions active, so I do, just in case something of
interest turns up.

How quickly I respond to a post in any newsgroup depends on when it
was posted and when I check the newsgroups. If it turns out to be
right away, it's just a coincidence.

Newsgroups like this are pretty much passe aren't they? I never understood them in the first place. You were supposed to get a special newsgroup reader or something to look at them properly...?

It's now two years later and I still haven't seen any other posts.

Are you still here? Anyone else? Anyone (besides me) still eating sushi?

Just in case anyone else is here, I'll try to start a thread.

What kind of sushi do you eat? Just maki (rolls)? Nigiri? Or both? Or
chirashi (although that seems to be the least common in the USA)?

Personally, I eat nigiri and gunkan maki almost exclusively, but to most
Americans, sushi seems to be exclusively maki these days. The one kind
of maki that I like and sometimes order is salmon skin temaki (hand roll).

My favorite nigiri are (in no particular order)

Maguro
Sake
Hamachi
Madai
Aji
Sawara
Saba
Mirugai
Amaebi (with the deep-fried heads served separately)
Tako
Ika
Uni (really gunkan maki, not nigiri)
Ikura (also gunkan maki)
Unagi
Hotategai

I never order all of those at one meal. They're not always all
available, and besides, with two of each, it would be too much to eat
and would cost too much.

Hi, Ken. This group has calmed down a lot. Had a rash of trolls for a while.
And so many young people don't know a thing about newsgroups. I haven't had
Sushi since mid 2020 due to COVID-19.

On another note, I will be picking up a gallon, 9 lbs. @ $13/lb., of fresh,
ocean scallops later on today. It's the last day of the season here in Wash.
Cty., Maine.

We got a quart last Friday, ate several that night raw and 3 more 'biscuits'
for Sat. breakfast, raw with a bit of homemade Ponzu.

Last night, I used my new Christmas toy and sous vide cooked some scallops
and 2 chuck eye steaks for the wife and I. Best scallops I've ever had
cooked. 30 mins. at 120°F. Then a quick bounce in a scorching pan with
browned butter and a touch of Sherry. Steaks were 1.25" thick, so 1.5 hrs.
at 122°F and then into a scorching dry frying pan on our wood stove for 1
more minute per side.

Take care and we'll see if you raised anyone else from the dead. ;)

Yes, but more than a *lot*. It's had zero posts.

Yes, most young people these days have never even heard of newsgroups.

I still participate in a bunch of newsgrops, a few of which are fairly
active.



I haven't had

Back when I lived in a suburb of NYC, I used to go to Maine every summer
for almost 30 years--mostly to Boothbay Harbor, where we sailed. I don't
remember ever being in Washington, but it's possible that I was.

It's now about 30 years since I was last in Maine.

Hi, Ken and all!

"What kind of sushi do you eat? Just maki (rolls)? Nigiri? Or both? Or
chirashi (although that seems to be the least common in the USA)?"

Chirashi used to be my #1 favorite. I say used to be because I've hardly eaten raw fish for quite a few years now ever since I stuffed myself at the Todai buffet in Westminster CA and got sick, plus i don't eat so much seafood anymore as i deem it a gout trigger and i might or might not have gout.

Cty., Maine.

We got a quart last Friday, ate several that night raw ..."


Many years ago i used to ride my bike over to Orchard Beach in the Bronx to go fishing. On the way sometimes I'd stop at a fish market to buy bait. Once i bought scallops and they looked so good that i ate them raw and they were delicious, way better than cooked and way better than the fish i was trying to catch. I don't know how safe that was - probably not very. I was very rarely served with raw scallops in sushi joints. I remember only once in a restaurant in Orange County, CA that specialized in chirashi.

If you would read my message you quoted above, you would see my answer:
"Personally, I eat nigiri and gunkan maki almost exclusively."

Sounds good! I haven't had any sushi in a long time but coming here makes me want some.

What I really want is THIS - Uni chirashi ikura don...

I usually go to a local sushi bar for dinner about once every two
months. I would go more often if it weren't so expensive to order what I
want.

Just curious--is you first name really spelled "Leaonard"? That's a very
unusual spelling I've never seen before.

> Many years ago i used to ride my bike over to Orchard Beach in the Bronx to go fishing. On the way sometimes I'd stop at a fish market to buy bait. Once i bought scallops and they looked so good that i ate them raw and they were delicious, way better than cooked and way better than the fish i was trying to catch. I don't know how safe that was - probably not very. I was very rarely served with raw scallops in sushi joints. I remember only once in a restaurant in Orange County, CA that specialized in chirashi.

Fresher is better. And if they are frozen really fresh, they still can be
eaten raw when thawed

Where did Gerry go? I met him once in Cal. I also met "The Wrong Wong" in Oregon, but sadly he has passed away.
