Oh they have no problem eating raw fish, but won't try fish eggs, sea urchin, octopus, or eel. Sorry but if your idea of sushi is spicy tuna, YOU ARE NOT EATING SUSHI! :rolleyes:
| I fully admit, I do NOT like most sushi because I'm new to eating fish and have a severe gag reflex if I perceive something as "fishy". I will (and do) try different sorts over and over int he hopes that I will get over it :D
Octopus, squid, raw fish, escargot, shellfish, raw oysters ~ ALL GOOD :thumbup::thumbup: Quote:

You know what? I used to not like octopus. Had a fear of the tentacles, don't ask. I had octopus at a Greek place and it changed my whole perspctive on it. I thought the Japanese has seafood down, oh no! "Tako" in sushi is hard and chewy, served cold. The Greek way is chunks of the arm, grilled on a bbq or something. So soft, tender and chewy, the "buffalo wing of the sea" I'm famous for saying (ask Lisa). Had some today again at another Greek place, same tenderness that is totally lacking at sushi places.

I lOVE octopus, but you are putting even more people off from it by talking about grilling chunks of the arm :sidesplt: Even though it IS amazing :D
(BTW, the "Chicken Wings of the Sea" discription was a combined effort :winky: ) Quote:
