Written by someone who has never worked as a chef, let alone a sushi chef, in their entire life.
This will somewhat resemble sushi, but it will not taste the same. There is far more involved in making the rice, cutting the fish and getting the right balance of ingredients in the roll than she lets on.

You're all gonna die of botulism...Leave the sushi making to the pros. You need high-grade FRESH fish to make sushi. This is not something that you are going to get at the local Piggly-Wiggly...Go out for sushi.

i took a class in shushi making years ago and love it, i find that when you buy fish at the market freeze it, that way it kills any bacteria that might be in it, its easier to slice when it slightly frozen

The best place I've found to get sashimi grade fish is http://www.catalinaop.com/
They have all the good and hard to find specialty fish as well as the staple types (tuna, toro (fatty tuna) and salmon)
Reasonably priced and professionally shipped

sushi is way over priced!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, its hard to find and dso i cant enjoy it as often! I'[ve seen the "real chefs" make them and it is dam easy! Sushi is so expensive cuz people dont know how to make it! Its unfair for any japanese chain to complain when they make tons of money for such cheap materials like rice and noodles...come on! I will def. make sushi at home thanks!

intertwined...botulism will not likely be the cause of death, unless a tainted can of green beans is being used. take the lady's tips and use them folks. bon apetit!

1) Do not put sushi in the refrigerator, because the cooked rice will be harden. If you don't use raw fish then it's ok to leave it outside for a few hours. Otherwise, make and eat it right away.
2) Buy the Japansese sushi rice from the asian store. Can't just use any rice.
And don't forget to wash your hands before making sushi. :-)

CAREFUL!!!
I’m a certified food handler, and I’m surprised that this recipe suggests raw fish as a filling. Think twice about preparing your own raw fish, even the freshest fish can have parasites that lead to serious food poisoning.

Hey sushi chefs - stop whining! People can try this if they want to and they could get food poisoning from their chicken dinner if they don't cook it right. They might just stick with veggie sushi and not be at risk from anything other than maybe making a mess! What is your problem! Afraid people will find out how easy this is and realize you guys are kind of over charging us?? Touchy, touchy!!
