My Favorite Sushi Isn’t the Fancy One It’s the Shiny Silver One


Tried a few kinds of sushi today, but my favorite was Kohada. that shiny silver one.
Silver-skinned fish usually have that weird, strong taste, but I kinda love it.
Guess I’m just the odd one out.

    Hikarimono is the best IMO.

    Mackerel, Kohada, Shinko, Sardines, Shad etc

    Sushi in LA is always dominated by Tuna and Urchin roe.

    Kohada is my fave as well. best of the fishes imo

    Are you saying this one doesn’t have a weird, strong taste or that you like the weird, strong taste?

    Kohada is wonderful, and I love blue skins, like mackerel. For some, the taste is too strong, but I’ve always liked it.

    You’re from a different camp from me as I die on this hill praising engawa. Fatty but different kind of fatty from the usual superstars like toro. That said I have mad respect for you guys hikarimono lovers!

    Sanma (pike mackerel) when in season is amazing.

    Mackerel is probably my favorite, it’s got so much flavor and it just melts on your tongue

    You are definitely not the odd man out. A lot of people in Japan like hikarimono.
