So, I just went to a sushi joint and ordered the Lobster Roll. Well, what I thought was a Lobster Roll, it was very delicious indeed. Then, the waiter comes back and was like, "How was that?" I reply, "Delish!" He then told me I just ate crawfish. Why do restaurants do this? I don't mind that it was crawfish because it was very good. But, own up and say it is crawfish and don't fool your customers! So weak, in my opinion. I will step off my soap box now....

How much did it cost? The reason I ask is that I hate when something is just expensive enough to make you think it might be real lobster and then it turns out it's crawfish or langostine.
ReplyDeleteI dont know what kinda meat that is, but it is not crawfish. I have read a few of your sushi posts and you have to make sure the chefs are Japanese. Not Korean or Chinese. They dont have the same discipline, technique and most importantly....cleanliness. I real Japanese sushi chef apprentices for many years under a sushi master. They make rice for 2 years before moving on to the next step in the career!
ReplyDeleteA lot of those rolls are Americanized. Try to find an authentic sushi restaurant and I think you will love it. The first sign of a "fake" sushi restaurant is when they feature rolls above everything else. "Volcano Roll, Dragon Roll, Flame Roll, Jazz Roll, Mr J Roll, Philadelphia Roll, etc" All that kinda garbage is BS!
Here is an example. Its one of my favorite places and I did a review on it in 2005. I still go there

Maybe they meant to call it a "Cajun Lobster!"
ReplyDeletePulled Porker - it was $6.50 for two pieces. That was a stock photo I used because before it was eaten I had no idea of the drama that was about to unfold!
ReplyDeleteDD - Stock photo...
Hmm, that is right in-between. If it had been a $3 roll I would have said no way it's lobster. If it had been $10 I would have said it better be lobster.
