Remember a few months back when I posted about the candy sushi I created? Holy man that was delicious. Since then I have met numerous people who seem addicted to the real thing. I grew up in Alberta, slap a steak on my plate any day, I do not understand sushi. Alas, I have had it on several occasions before. Mostly tempura or vegetable. I am not one of those that think sushi is all seaweed and raw fish. I am aware of the variety, I am just a plain Jane kind of eater.
I hate to disappoint but there is no real Shellie Moment in this story but there is a story. A few coworkers decided to have a sushi night and I invited the former gentleman. Turned into one coworker of mine and her boy toy who are both complete foodies and are the professionals you want around when you try something new. The former gentleman is an extreme sushi fan and was delighted that he was finally getting me out for sushi. I managed to convince another friend and his lady friend to join us, mostly because she was on my side about the whole sushi thing. I needed someone on my team and the 6 of us together was a delightful combination.
There was a variety of sushi rolls all around me but my partner in anti-sushi spoiled our taste buds with very tasty tempura shrimp and vegetables. Then moved onto our Udon noodle bowls. Very yummy for all those non-sushi types who know sushi lovers. An excellent alternate choice. I did have one piece of sushi during the evening. I do enjoy a good dynamite roll. There is deep fried shrimp in the middle and a nice tang. Who wouldn't enjoy that!
If you are heading out for sushi in Calgary I would recommend Misato Sushi & Grill up in the Southwest. It is one of the few places that takes reservations and you will want to make reservations.
