its very good for you. salmon is high in protein and has alot of efa in it. plus there is no added fat or colestoral from cooking. i love sushi. salmon is my favorite.

love the stuff
make it myself
the health benefits are well documented
please note that you should get it from a reputable source
some found in grocery stores these days are using long grain rice
which makes it cheaper but dryer once it's refrigerated
i try to treat myself to it once a week from one of my 3 favourite places
and when short on cash i make it myself
i love saba (mackerel), bbq salmon skin, any spicy rolls esp tuna, salmon roe and unagi (eel)

Ohhh the title of this thread made me salivate like Pavlov's dog. It's all healthy although whenever I have it I usually eat my body weight in it and I get nervous about the white rice, since it's not a complex carb, but other than that eat up!

Sushi is awesome! High in protein, and with cuts like salmon (sake), yellowtail (hamachi), and mackerel (saba), high in EFAs. The fact that it's raw is great because cooking ruins some of the nutritional value of protein-rich foods.

Actually sushi isn't that great -- it's sashimi that is! All the white rice in nigiri sushi makes it bad. Rolls are even worse what with the sugar-filled sauces that are sometimes used in the specialty rolls. God, if it wasn't so expensive I'd eat sashimi everyday while cutting! Maybe even every meal!

To me, fatty tuna (toro) is the best stuff on earth! It's rather hard to find and extremely expensive, though. $12 for 2 pcs. last time I had it. It's heaven though... like butta!

guys you need to take more of a look at the ingredients of sushi.

they use tiny amounts of fish (ie protein) in each piece of sushi. it is very high carb due to the rice, and relatively low in protein. This can be verified by doing any check on the internet or on the back of a ready packaged box.

I'm not knocking it - i LOVE the stuff, but the bottom line is that it's mainly white rice. I was actually thinking of trying to make it with brown rice, but i think it'll turn out gross.

basically it's high carb but what the hell, it's worth it! i have it as a standalone meal and have an extra chicken breast (ie extra protein) with less than my usual share of carbs in an earlier meal on the day that i plan to have some sushi.

tried eel at my fave sushi restaurant the other day, it was suprisingly nice!

Sushi by itself is very good for you, it is the sauce{sodium} and rice{carbs}
that are not great. Try to get the bigger pieces of fish so you get less rice and dont use the sauce!!

Or just get a mixed platter of sashimi & sushi.....

We make it at home with brown rice and use more fish/shrimp than what we would get at a restaurant. Yummmmmmmy!

the average piece of sushi is 5:1 / carbs: protein.
