Would probably eat it everyday if I had $$$.
The coast has awesome sushi places out the *** because of all the Asians that live there.

This poll needs frequency built into it, how often and how much. We each sushi probably 3-4 times per month for me and the mrs., and maybe 1-2 times with the whole fandamily. Even though here it is usually $20 per for AYCE, that is still spendy when you have 5 or 6 on the ticket.
I haven't been very impressed with west coast sushi, at least actually on the coast. Way overpriced and not as fresh as it should be. Ate at a half dozen places in San Diego over my anniversary and was very disappointed. One place had salmon that had obviously been held in a chloride solution. Technically they can ship it this way and still call it "fresh"...and technically they can lower fish to 30 degrees and still call it "fresh" so when you think you are getting fresh fish, it really ain't always so, in fact most often it isn't. Which only makes sense due to the volume of fish consumed and the locales that need to be shipped to. Just being on the coast does not guarantee fresh fish. That is only guaranteed by the stinginess of the owner of the restaurant and what they are willing to serve. Sushi Yah in Salt Lake, the owner insisted on the freshest fish he could get, so it was always a step above (haven't been there in over a year and a half so it may have changed, who knows). I have had way better fish in Reno, Sacramento, and Vegas than I have had in San Diego or LA.

Nice. It is our family's favorite food, bar none, every single one of us. My oldest daughter hates fish...cooked fish that is. But sushi is her favorite food. My youngest son likes EVERYTHING, including quail egg shooters, sunrise nigiri (called different things different places, it is a raw quail egg on top of a portion of salmon roe nigiri), and all the creepy crawly things. One of the weirder ones we have eaten was sea cucumber. My son loved them all, I wasn't the biggest fan of the cucumber. Weird and crunchy and slimy and briny all at the same time. Anyway, if the money were available we would eat sushi daily.
Yikes.. we don't use that word around here.
Btw.. I sooooooo miss the REAL oyster bars around the Florida panhandle.. the BEST. Gnarly huge thick bars you belly up to with a beer and a huge bag of fresh Apalachicola oysters. You shuck and have all the butter, Tabasco, horseradish, and lemon you could ever want......
Booking a ticket. Serious. It's been like 8 or 9 years..

I've never eaten sushi at a sit-down restaurant. I've hand-rolled some nori with brown rice, a little umeboshi paste and some veggies, but never with fish.
I think I've tried sushi at random buffets with fish, but I never really got that into them.
My family never really dined out lots growing up. Parents were fairly frugal when it came to outside-dining. And these days, I never really go on dates or anything so I usually stick to fast-food
Apparently there's some nice sushi restaurants here though

Haha, I wish. Family moved here in 95, so we just always had the thought-process of saving up for the house, the car, occasional vacation. That sort of thing.
