There is an awful lot of terrible sushi out there though. Maybe people are snake bit.

Replace sushi with literally any type of meal you can think of and the statement is still true.

I'll be honest, I don't think there is such a thing as good sushi. Not my thing at all, never will be. Just like raw oysters aren't something I'll ever enjoy.

I also think sushi, by in large, is one of those trendy things that people think they have to like because reasons, not because they actually like it. Saying they love sushi makes them more cosmopolitan and refined in their minds, kind of like craft beer dorks who geek out of IPA's.

---

sushi isn't trendy. It has been a part of diets around the world for literally centuries in some form or another.

I enjoy a lot of sushi, I like the flavor and texture. I don't eat it a lot because it can be expensive, but I really like it and I'm too old to give a **** about trendy.

Had fish and chips again tonight at Kenny and Ziggy's. Chips are 6/10 but fish is awesome.

---

I know it may sound crazy but the fish & chips at Culver's is pretty good when you're back up on the Upper East Side.

---

Yep if I'm craving fish and chips but don't want to make the run for some of my favorite spots I can quell it there off Northpark.

---

What are your other spots?

It is absolutely trendy over here. Just because in Japan and whereever they have been eating it forever doesn't change that fact.

Sushi became some super "I must tell everybody I love sushi every chance I get" dish a handful of years ago, and that's when you saw all of the sushi joints pop up like weeds around town.

If by a "handful" you mean at least 25 years ago, I guess you've got a point.

This is one of my regular spots. Though they have occasionally, they rarely miss on their dishes.

well, true about the people with the 'i'm so cool, I eat sushi' vibe...

but in Htown sushi places aren't decreasing or going away, they are actually proliferating.

So do you like actual seafood or fried garbage?

If you think fried equates to garbage, you probably should just not post anymore.

I don't think it does. I know it does. Fried shrimp/catfish etc is bubba food and isn't really seafood. It's garbage.

You must be so cosmopolitan and refined, everybody on this thread envies you and wishes they were you because of this.

Yeah, you can't throw a rock without hitting a sushi joint it seems.

I"m assuming the poster thinks a real sushi joint must be something like you'll find in Tokyo and anything else really doesn't count or something like that.

We are also Houston - almost all seafood in this region is either heavily influenced by Cajun, Creole, Tampico Mexican or old South style of cooking. I'm sure there are a handful of places that do northwest salmon on a crappy ass cedar plank crap or boiled walleye or whatever they eat up in the Great Lakes region, but by in large the cuisine around here is what it is because of the culture, location and the type of seafood we have locally versus what you'll find in other areas of the world. I mean, you don't go to the Pacific NW and find cajun or mexican style food either. At least not good cajun or mexican style food anyway.

---

Walleye is the most overrated fish ever.

It's solid but no better than crappie. And fishing for walleye is about the most boring thing ever. You generally slow-troll baits bumping off the bottom. They don't fight worth a damn. It's about like pulling up a branch. Just dead weight on the line- no runs, no jumps, and almost no pull.

On ultra-light tackle or fly gear crappie can be fun as hell. They'll hit violently and fight. It's only when your gear is too heavy that they're boring.

With our proximity to the coast I think we're severely lacking on quality mid-high end range seafood options.

If you wanna slum it Gillhooley's in San Leon but if dirty nasty dive bars with bad as food isn't you're deal Pier 6 in San Leon is a good option.

Except walleye generally come from pristine cool waters whereas your crappie are yanked out of the filth infused brown retention pools we call lakes in Texas. Clean water = better fish.

Has nothing to do with being "refined". Fried( and breaded especially) garbage food has killed more Americans than all of the wars we have been in combined. Decision is based on data and facts, nothing more.
