sushi fish

[libertytyranny]

This is a dumb question..but where do you buy good sushi fish around here? I want to make my own, and also I had the seared rare ahi tuna at outback and nearly died of pure LOVE..that #### was so good I almost couldn't stand it. I snarfed the whole t..hing down in minutes. Now im obsessed with making it for myself (ys I realize its expensive ass fish) but I need to know where to find it..would frozen be as good? Or would I have to get it fresh? I want the ahi and some salmon..

Most local fish are good if you don't burn 'em !

if you can find some fresh Tuna it would be your best choice I think. Get one of the ceramic knives to shave it. Try Giant.

This is where some local sushi places get their fish, etc.

Hmart.com: Online Shopping for Asian Grocery, Korean Kimchi, Rice Cookers, Appliances & more at everyday low prices.

It will never be the same.

Sushi isn't exactly fresh, it's aged and frozen and just buying a raw fish and cutting it up just won't do.

There really is a lot more to being a sushi chef then being good with a knife.

Seared is a different animal and not really sushi or sushi grade. Alton Brown has great direction on how to, the key being exceptionally high heat.
