That is not sushi. I'm sorry to pull the elitist thing, but maki rolls, especially American ones, are no more sushi than an american taco is a taco.
My favorite sushi is Toro tuna ngiri. Or white tuna with miso sauce.

Yes, on the west coast. The population of Japanese immigrants is large enough there that there are pretty authentic restaurants.
My personal elitist slant on this issue is that sushi and other raw fish foods are fine, but they're a wee bit overemphasized considering they aren't the only great food to come out of Japan. If you do find an authentic restaurant, consider trying some of the other dishes; there's lots of excellent stuff with noodles, cooked fish, egg and so on. If you must have the raw fish with rice, try ordering it in a bowl for a change ("donburi"). |
that's chirashi, not donburi. but yeah, it is quite good. And i'm not trying to come off as a total jag-on about this, I like spicy tuna rolls too. It's just not really sushi. Good places to get sushi abound in any major metro area, if there's a japanese language zine or whatever, look in it, the ads for restaurants will generally be pretty authentic.
It's not just elitist ; the grade of fish that most places use is terrible. When you've had a piece of tuna that melts in your mouth and doesn't even taste like the idea of 'fish taste' you had in your head, you will be converted.
