You would think Jamaica being entirely surrounded by sea, would have lots of sea-food. Anyways, give us a full report when you do try it! :D

So what is the update…its May now, did you try it yet?
OMG!!!!!! Can’t believe you letting all that good stuff pass…! *watermouthing
Start off with the basics, ya know, egg, kappamaki, tuna (salmon tastes more fishier than tuna)

Then move to shrimp, salmon, eel

Then try other kinds of sushi like california rolls (you’ll LOVE this), inarizushi, gunkan-crab

Then inside out rolls, fried sushi, sushi salad

You can leave the natto and large ikura toppings. And sea urchin.

After this you’re ready to drop the rice and go for sashimi :D

*stamping feet and craving for some fatty tuna sashimi〜！

Many people feel very suspicious regarding Japan Food.
Especially when they bump into Raw fish, Sea weed, and Japanese Desserts made from red bean paste…

Maybe this will make you eat Sushi –
Japanese people enjoy one of the longest life-spans in the world, with much lower rates of heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer than in the US.
Another thing you notice when in Japan is how much younger everyone looks comparing to their age group in western countries.

After experiencing the Food in Tokyo myself for years, I can tell you losing weight is not a question when eating Japanese food.

Jamaica would be a great place for sushi! The fish in sushi needs to be saltwater (ocean) fish.

I’ve just discovered your blog! – I’m so pleased I’ve found you, I’m from a Jamaican background and interested in Asian culture so I can relate.

Jamaican’s are not adventurous with our food and the idea of raw fish was just such alien a concept – but I was curious I tired if for the first time last year, it was strange at first and didn’t taste of much, but now I love it and eat it often (although I’m still just a beginner and stick to safe stuff like salmon or tuna – tried tofu the other day, never again! Ha ha). Hope you get a chance to give it a go – let us know what you think.

I don’t like sushi, although I wish I did because it is a reasonably priced and healthy snack. As you know, I don’t like seafood, and that is what I don’t like about sushi – the nori (seaweed) tastes too fishy to me.

Let us know how your sushi adventures go!

I was like you, but I gave Sushi a try.. and it was delicious! However, I will admit that the sushi I tried had carrots in it, but it was still fun. ^^

I have also made my own Sushi and it tasted better, especially when you put your own filling and rice in it. I tried lunch ham and crab meat to work my way up to the “real” Sushi.

Where I’m from sushi is everywhere lol, they range in prices too. I know people who don’t like seafood type sushi so they eat inari sushi for the fried tofu and vinegar rice and tamago (egg) sushi. Crab sushi is on the cheaper side if you eat the fake crab meat but still tastes good and not exactly “raw.” Don’t know if you like natto but that’s sushi that’s usually on the cheaper side and fermented beans are at least vegetables lol. Corn sushi is popular. There’s all types of vegetable sushi. I personally like cucumber :P. Something cooked would be octopus sushi and clam sushi I believe. You can get creative and make your own sushi rice and be creative with the topping like different meats or even fruits for a “dessert” sushi lol.
