I guess I can't be kosher.RottenApple wrote:Yuck! Perhaps you forgot, TAM, but my family keeps kosher. No sea urchin, shrimp, etc. Ew!The Annoyed Man wrote:Where's the Uni?
When I was a kid, surfing SoCal beaches and sloshing around tide pools, I used to harvest live sea urchins, bust them open with a rock, and eat the "Uni" out of them so fresh that their spines were still moving around. We were that kind of a family. That was 25 years before I had even heard of sushi.And by the way, you can certainly smoke the fish if you want, but most "raw" fish served as traditional sushi is exactly that....raw. Sometimes they'll grill the freshwater eel, and they'll steam the shrimp, but if you order traditional sushi/sashimi, you're eating raw fish. I love it, and I could live on it as a high protein diet for years if I had to.
