So for those of us who are new to sushi. How does Sea Urchin taste? I'm willing to try new stuff (had Octopus and liked it, eel not so much). I always see it and wanna try it, but am not really into anything too fishy. Should I? My current fave is yellowtail. Just don't want to look like a complete idiot if its a stronger tasting item.

Urchin is, shall we say, an acquired taste.

I been munching on sushi for a fairly long time, and still don't care much for urchin. No, that's not true. I don't care at all for urchin. On the other hand I love mackerel, which many find too fishy. Just depends on your taste buds.

Love sushi, but just cannot do Uni. I have been to Japan many, many times and have been told that "supreme Uni" is great (it depends on the freshness and where you go), but a couple bad experiences has killed it for me.

Now, I have had all sorts of sashimi, including horse, chicken and just about all parts of beef (be creative). Interesting stuff can be very tasty sometimes.

Luckily, I have found several great sushi places in the Raleigh area (Waraji is fantastic).

No correction necessary.

The closest that I can go to sushi is a lightly seared tuna steak. The funny thing is that I will eat raw clams all day and be happy though.

I'm with you on the clams (must be a New England thing) but I can't stand Uni (sea urchin).

Gimme some clams with lemon and and a dash of Tabasco -

When I worked downtown there were 2 sushi joints within walking distance and I'd hit one every week. Now that I'm our in the 'burbs I'm lucky to get it once a month. I usually stick to the traditional stuff, but I'll get a spicy tuna roll occasionally and a spider roll (fried soft-shell crab) when the season is in.

Speaking of soft shell crab.... I LOVE THE STUFF! There is a Japanese restaurant I frequent on a regular basis that has a soft shell crab tempura dinner. It is fantastic. A whole soft shell crab tempura battered and friend with a side of veggies. A great dinner when I'm in the mood for it!
