Yuck! Perhaps you forgot, TAM, but my family keeps kosher. No sea urchin, shrimp, etc. Ew!

That's not what Uni is. "Yuck" doesn't even begin to describe it... (I mean it tastes pretty good, I'm just glad I'd already finished lunch and used the restroom when I found out what it was.)

Ummmmm. Uni is sea urchin.

Sorta... Saying Uni is merely "sea urchin" is like saying Rocky Mountain Oysters are just made from male calves... It's technically true, but skirts around the main issue.

Ok. So it's the gonads of a sea urchin. Regardless, it is from a non-kosher animal and is not considered fit to eat.

I eat Halal and Kosher food. I cannot skip seafood.
Fish, Shrimp, and Sea Scallop are all Okay with me. And, I love sushi and "Halal" Japanese and Thai food.

I thought shellfish wasn't halal, just as its not kosher.

Rice: 10-12 minutes
Smoking salmon: 4 hours
Slicing salmon: 5 minutes
Slicing avocado: 5 minutes
Rolling 7 rolls: 30 minutes (hey, I'm not a pro)
Slicing & plating 7 rolls: about 10 minutes

So except for the smoking part, about an hour from raw ingredients to finish product.

I'm actually starting to like some sushi. However, still not excited about eating raw fish though. If you were to grill it before wrapping it in the rice, then we would be talking good food.

You're making a common assumption; that sushi is raw fish. Sushi may indeed be raw fish, but it is more often, in America at least, smoked. In this case, I cold smoked the salmon (wild caught Alaskan) over a 4 hour period.

Ok. Totally (and I mean TOTALLY) not firearm/CHL related, but I made sushi for dinner tonight. Futamaki (fat sushi) made with salmon, avacado, & cream cheese. This was only my 3rd attempt at making sushi.

FYI, the total on this came out to less than $20.
