Sushi?

SO i can't say that I am a fan of raw fish at all. It's only recently that my mind has become a little more open to trying the foods of the sea. Maybe its because as a youngin, I ate nothing but Mac n Cheese.

So I dedicate this particular post to your individuals who are new to sushi, or not quite there yet with the whole raw thing and present to you the 'White Cucumber Roll,' (done the Andreja way) from MARU SUSHI in Costa Mesa, Ca.

This rolls original ingredients include: Tuna, salmon, yellowtail, crabmeat and avacad, wrapped in cucumber instead of the seaweed/rice. For some of you, this might just hit the spot...but for me, being still new to the whole raw thing, I loved the idea of the cucumber but not quite settled with the fish. So instead, I asked the chef if he could make a shrimp tempura to replace the raw fish....delish. I think he even added some cooked asparagus.

Fresh, light, savoury.
