Wegmans has very good sushi,

They mark it very clearly for our peasant American tastes. Raw stuff has a red label, cooked has...green I think? and blue has no fish at all.

You're already gone down a pretty dark path when you're buying sushi from a supermarket.

Wegmans is not just some supermarket.

No need to pay 20 bucks for fucking California roll.  Avocado is avocado.

Agree that supermarket tuna is pretty rough sledding.

Wegmans isn't.

Wegmans is fucking awesome. It is as good as sushi gets

1) In Rochester NY, and
2) That isn't made to order while you wait.

Shush, I do like sushi. You take what you can get.

I mostly used to it when traveling though, since my family is a bunch of peasants and won't eat it, so I had it when travelling for business. Which was nice, since it meant someone else was paying for it. And really good sushi is really damn expensive.

it really can be. Sushi is a lot like pizza. Ok sushi is ok, but great sushi is great (though it's easier to have bad sushi). I prefer sashimi though, or at least a meal with a larger portion of sashimi.

were I used to work we used to go often for sushi as there was a pretty good place nearby that was all you can eat. One of my coworkers would say she loved sushi and then only eat battered shrimp and the meat dishes :lol:

I would say the big difference would be that bad pizza is still pretty good.

Bad sushi is a night spent with food poisoning.

Oh yeah. You see that plenty.

My daughter "loves" sushi, but will only eat stuff without any fish in it, which isn't really sushi per se, but then, the thing she likes about it you can't get in some other dish, so whatever. And she will at least try some stuff with cooked salmon or tuna, so I am taking it slow with her...

We have them in VA too--and I agree, they're a supermarket where they mark everything up 30% and push overpriced crap at you from "boutique" market stalls or whatever fuck they use. I've been in one once, and I'll stick to Food Lion.

The thing with sushi is that the temperature of the food is critical.  One of the reasons traditional sushi places pretty much require guests to sit in a bar right in front of the chef is so that the customer can eat it within a minute of leaving the chef's hands.  The sushi chefs hate customers who chat and forget the sushi in front of them.  The problem with supermarket sushi is that, for health safety reasons, it needs to be chilled.  Once it is chilled, it is gone.

I can understand a restaurant demanding that customers eat its food a certain way, especially ones with a name to protect.  If some idiot goes to a fancy steakhouse, orders a well-done steak with A1 sauce, and then tells other people that this restaurant was alright but nothing special, the brand name takes a hit.  And sometimes people really don't know what's good for them, you see that every time someone talks about liking deep dish pizza or supermarket sushi.
