A group of us from work recently decided that we wanted to give sushi-making a try, so we had some sushi-grade fish overnighted from California and we gave it a go. We got salmon, tuna, unagi (eel), and tobiko (fish eggs), along with a variety of fruits and vegetables. We had so much fish it took us two nights to go through it. Each night we cooked up two big pots of rice and went through a few packages of nori (seaweed). We had as much fun making the rolls as we did eating them. It was fun getting creative with various combinations of fillings and toppings. Everyone enjoyed themselves and no one got sick, so I’d say it was a success.

If you want to give it a try yourself, a good source of recipes is the Sushi Day Blog, and the place we ordered our fish from was Catalina Offshore Products.

Here are some snapshots from the festivities:
