Anyone ever made sushi at home?

I dont think it would be that hard, for a california style sushi roll, you just gotta get sticky rice, seaweed, avacado(I like avacados on mine anyway), imitation crab, and the raw fish on the outside, do you think I could get this from a regular grocery store, especially the raw fish? or would I have to go to one of those odd oreintal market things?

also was it cost effective compared to eating sushi at a restaraunt?

I got my b/f a sushi making starter kit for his bday, that has everything you need, except vegetables or fish. He didn't make any yet though... . Got him a set of sushi plates and stuff too. Now I'm just waiting for him to make me some .

it's not that hard. My g/f signed us up for a sushi class 3 weeks ago. I'm pretty sure tuna used for sushi is like $12 - $15 or so a pound. If you want to get tuna, ask the fish guy at your grocery store for tuna you can make for sushi. He'll know what to get. You don't need to go to the asian market for that. You need to get the thing you have to roll the sushi in... I don't know what it's called. And you should wrap it in plastic wrap, so it doesn't get all nasty from the fish and rice.

Dude I did everything you just mentioned. But you goto to to a oriental market to get all the stuff. Make sure you put plastic wrap on the bamboo roller otherwise the rice will stick bad to it. Make sure you wash your hands alot too(the rice is sticky) and another piece of advice only use seaweed that you just opened(within 3 or 4 hours) because it goes bad fast once it hits air.

But the asian market will have everything you need. And yes you will save a ton of money(over half or even more depending on how many people you are serving and if you eat alot rolls per person.

this isn't going to help much but you'd probably have to go to a place where you live that has a high asian population. Also maybe try any Whole Foods supermarkets, they might have what you need. But the tuna you can get anywhere.
