FlyingRhenquest 1 #1 February 23, 2013 If you guys ever get a chance to try this, don't pass it up! I just had my first one (with beer!) at a local sushi joint today. I got his last one, too. I'm already looking forward to my next one. I hope he orders some more soon! I don't usually go for cooked fish. Of all the fish I've eaten in the last 5 years or so, none of it has been cooked. I don't usually like bones in my fish, and the hamachi collar has a good number of them. It's completely worth picking through them for that. I've never felt the urge to go back through and gnaw on fish bones before today. I liked it, is what I'm trying to say here! I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #4 February 23, 2013 I never would have known the Escolar fish had I not heard it on Dr. Oz the other day. He said do not eat it! He also said it's often switched out for pricier fish and you don't even know until you have the runs.

FlyingRhenquest 1 #5 February 23, 2013 I know what escolar tastes like, and I can't stand the flavor. It's like eating a chunk of pork lard. Just one piece will give me heartburn. The chef at this place has been honest about his fish, which is another reason I like him so much. If you ask him for Omakase, he'll put together a fantastic spread. I got some giant clam and some seared salmon belly in my last one.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

FlyingRhenquest 1 #9 February 24, 2013 Pickled herring might actually work with black olives and feta cheese. Or maybe swap out the black olives for kalamata olives. Now I'm going to have to try that!I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
